Subject: [PATCH 0/5] btrfs: owner refs and tree blocks
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 03:23:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104102323.4090290-1-smish149@asu.edu> (raw)
Simple quotas store the owner of a data extent in an inline owner ref.
Tree blocks never get one: their owner is in the tree block header.
Patch 1 fixes btrfs_get_extent_owner_root(), which also looks for an
owner ref on tree blocks. On a filesystem without skinny-metadata it
reads the btrfs_tree_block_info as an inline ref and warns on subvolume
deletion, snapshot writes and balance. The filesystem is valid.
Patches 2 and 3 are hardening. The tree-checker rejects refs whose type
does not match the extent type: inline refs in patch 2 (for example an
owner ref on a tree block), and keyed refs in the same leaf as their
extent item in patch 3.
Patches 4 and 5 are for btrfs-progs (devel 3737c260) and have the same
cause: a tree block without skinny-metadata is taken for data. mkfs and
btrfs check do not count such tree blocks in simple quotas, and
btrfstune --remove-simple-quota can corrupt their extent items.
Found by fuzzing. An AI tool helped with the analysis and the patches.
Tested on btrfs for-next df5b88a7914e, KASAN and non-debug kernels:
- Patch 1: no warning on subvolume deletion, snapshot writes and
metadata balance without skinny-metadata; same qgroup numbers.
- Patches 2 and 3: crafted images with an owner ref on a tree block,
and with a keyed tree block ref on a data extent, are refused at
read time instead of aborting a transaction later. No valid
filesystem was rejected: skinny and non-skinny, 4K nodes, mixed block
groups, no quota, qgroups and simple quotas, with reflinks, snapshots,
balance and scrub, and filesystems from btrfs-convert, mkfs --rootdir
and btrfstune -x.
- fstests btrfs/quick, and the qgroup, balance, snapshot and subvol
groups with -O ^skinny-metadata: no new failure.
- Patches 4 and 5: mkfs -O squota,^skinny-metadata writes the right
qgroup counts; btrfstune --remove-simple-quota leaves the tree blocks
intact and btrfs check is clean (before: "backpointer mismatch").
The crafted images are available on request.
