Subject: [PATCH 3/4] ext4: don't put a DUN wraparound in the middle of a read bio
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 23:31:31 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103153132.4154855-4-libaokun@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261103153132.4154855-1-libaokun@linux.alibaba.com>
Under IV_INO_LBLK_32, a file's DUNs wrap at 2^32, and the policy
is only allowed when the block size equals the page size.
ext4_mpage_readpages() adds a whole folio to one bio, but checks
only the DUN of the first block. blk-crypto assumes the DUNs
in a bio are contiguous and never wraps them, so blocks past
the wraparound are read with the wrong DUNs.
Writeback and direct I/O get this right, but with large folios
a single folio can still span the wraparound.
Fix this by routing such a folio through the buffer_head path,
which submits one bio per block and so gives each block its own DUN.
fscrypt_limit_io_blocks() tells whether the wraparound falls after
the first block; a wraparound at the first block itself is already
caught by fscrypt_mergeable_bio().
A file's DUNs wrap at most once, so at most one folio per file takes
the slower path, and the per-block bios can be merged again by the
block layer.
