Subject: [PATCH 2/5] btrfs: tree-checker: reject inline refs not matching the extent type
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 03:23:20 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104102323.4090290-3-smish149@asu.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104102323.4090290-1-smish149@asu.edu>
[BACKGROUND]
An extent item is either for a tree block or for data, and each kind
only gets its own inline ref types:
TREE_BLOCK: TREE_BLOCK_REF, SHARED_BLOCK_REF
DATA: EXTENT_OWNER_REF, EXTENT_DATA_REF, SHARED_DATA_REF
Readers rely on this. btrfs_get_extent_owner_root() only looks for an
owner ref on data extents, and btrfs_get_extent_inline_ref_type() warns
when a caller that expects a tree block ref or a data ref gets the
other kind.
[CAUSE]
check_extent_item() verifies each inline ref on its own, but never
checks that its type matches the TREE_BLOCK or DATA flag of the extent
item. So a data ref or an owner ref on a tree block, or a tree block
ref on a data extent, passes the tree-checker. For example this tree
block has an owner ref instead of its tree block ref:
item 9 key (30478336 METADATA_ITEM 0) itemoff 3636 itemsize 33
refs 1 gen 13 flags TREE_BLOCK
tree block skinny level 0
(172 0x5) extent owner root 5
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The leaf is accepted. When the tree block is freed later,
lookup_inline_extent_backref() skips the owner ref, finds no tree block
ref, and the transaction aborts:
WARNING: fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c:3418 at __btrfs_free_extent
BTRFS error (device vda state A): Transaction 14 aborted (-EUCLEAN)
BTRFS info (device vda state EA): forced readonly
[ENHANCEMENT]
Reject an inline ref whose type does not match the extent flags with
-EUCLEAN, so the leaf is refused when it is read:
BTRFS critical (device vda): corrupt leaf: block=30441472 slot=9
extent bytenr=30478336 len=4096 inline ref type 172 does not match
extent flags 0x2
