Subject: [PATCH v2 3/7] block: take i_rwsem for the splice read path
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 09:49:52 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828-blkdev-fixes-v2-3-32f3f40cebed@columbia.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260828-blkdev-fixes-v2-0-32f3f40cebed@columbia.edu>
def_blk_fops wires ->splice_read directly to filemap_splice_read(),
which allocates folios based on mapping_min_folio_order() without any
lock against set_blocksize(). A splice from a block device can race
set_blocksize() raising the minimum folio order and insert a folio that
is too small for the mapping. blkdev_read_iter() wraps filemap_read()
in inode_lock_shared() for this reason, but the splice path was missed.
Splicing from a block device while toggling the block size between 512
bytes and 64K with BLKBSZSET hits this within seconds on a
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM kernel:
page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO(folio_order(folio) < mapping_min_folio_order(mapping))
kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:858!
Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
RIP: 0010:__filemap_add_folio+0x51c/0x570

Take inode_lock_shared() around filemap_splice_read(), like the read
path does.
