Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] ocfs2: validate suballoc bit during inode read
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 20:52:19 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901125221.1634686-3-joseph.qi@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901125221.1634686-1-joseph.qi@linux.alibaba.com>
i_suballoc_bit of a dinode is currently not validated at all. A
corrupted dinode can carry an abnormally large i_suballoc_bit, which
bypasses ocfs2_validate_inode_block(). When the inode is deleted,
ocfs2_remove_inode() calls ocfs2_free_dinode(), which passes the
unvalidated bit to _ocfs2_free_suballoc_bits() and triggers
BUG_ON((count + start_bit) > ocfs2_bits_per_group(cl)).
A suballocator block group bitmap is contained in a single block and
starts after the group descriptor header, so a valid suballoc bit must
be smaller than the number of bits fitting in the remaining space.
Reject oversized i_suballoc_bit values during dinode validation. The
bound is derived from ocfs2_group_bitmap_size() so it is also tight
when discontig_bg caps the suballocator bitmap at
OCFS2_MAX_BG_BITMAP_SIZE.
Note the above check alone is not sufficient since the freeing path
compares the bit against ocfs2_bits_per_group(), which is derived from
cl_cpg/cl_bpc of the allocator dinode that is not validated against
the actual group capacity and can be artificially smaller on a
corrupted image. Convert this BUG_ON in _ocfs2_free_suballoc_bits()
to ocfs2_error() as well.
