Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] ntfs: fix two kmap_local bugs on 32-bit kernels
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2026 06:51:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261006045136.5911-1-kmehltretter@gmail.com> (raw)
Two kmap_local bugs in the mount path of fs/ntfs. Both only show on
32-bit kernels with HIGHMEM, where kmap_local_folio() hands out fixmap
slots from a per task stack of 16 entries. multi_v7_defconfig enables
both NTFS_FS and HIGHMEM, so the stock 32-bit ARM configuration is
affected.
Patch 1: check_mft_mirror() unmaps pointers that were advanced past the
end of the page. On 32-bit ARM this clears the wrong fixmap entry and
the mount dies with a BUG a few calls later. syzkaller found it on a
multi_v7_defconfig kernel. A fresh mkntfs volume reproduces it on the
first mount.
Patch 2: ntfs_check_logfile() maps the same page once per loop
iteration and unmaps it once, so a mount leaves three entries on the
stack of the mounting task. After one mount the CPU it ran on can no
longer be taken offline. A process that mounts ntfs volumes five times
hits the BUG_ON() in kmap_local_idx_push(). x86-32 also warns when
mount(2) returns.
The two fixes are independent of each other. Patch 2 was tested on top
of patch 1. Both were tested on 32-bit ARM and x86-32 in QEMU. Details
are below the --- line of each patch.
Changes in v2:
- v1 carried an older copy of patch 2 as a second 2/2 by mistake. The
patches are unchanged.
