Subject: [PATCH] hfs: don't give the extents overflow file overflow extents
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 23:27:26 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930162726.144048-1-ngocthang2710.1999@gmail.com> (raw)

hfs_bmap_reserve() grows a b-tree's backing file via hfs_extend_file()
while the caller holds tree->tree_lock. For the extents tree itself,
once its three MDB extents are full and hfs_add_extent() returns
-ENOSPC, hfs_extend_file() falls through to insert_extent and records
an overflow extent for the extents file. The next extension then sees
alloc_blocks != first_blocks and calls hfs_ext_read_extent(), which
takes ext_tree->tree_lock again:

  hfs_ext_read_extent()           <- hfs_find_init(ext_tree)
    __hfs_ext_write_extent()
      hfs_bmap_reserve(ext_tree)
        hfs_extend_file(ext inode)
          hfs_ext_read_extent()   <- hfs_find_init(ext_tree): deadlock

The extents overflow file can't have overflow extents of its own; its
extents live only in the MDB. Fail with -ENOSPC instead, returning the
just-allocated blocks to the bitmap. hfs_btree_open() already rejects
an extents fork larger than its MDB extents, so this keeps
alloc_blocks == first_blocks for the extents file for the whole mount.

Reproducible with a plain mount + ftruncate on a fragmented volume with
a small extents-file clump size.

Notes (not for the changelog):

Reproduced in QEMU (x86_64, lockdep) with syzbot C repro 11c3a202580000,
and more simply with mount + ftruncate(0x100c17a) on the same image:
"possible recursive locking detected" on ext_tree->tree_lock followed by
the task stuck forever in D state. The image's extents fork is
consistent (one 4-block extent), with a 2048-byte XT clump and a
fragmented bitmap, so the three MDB extents fill up after a few
extensions and insert_extent runs for the extents file.

With the patch, 3 runs of all five syzbot C repros plus the direct
mount+ftruncate case: no lockdep report and no hung tasks. ftruncate
still returns 0, since hfs_file_truncate() already ignores a failed
extension.
