Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix BUG_ON in ext4_es_cache_extent due to out-of-order extents
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
syzbot reported a BUG_ON in ext4_es_cache_extent() triggered when
opening a verity file on a corrupted ext4 filesystem mounted without
a journal.
The issue occurs when the extent tree contains out-of-order extents,
which can happen in a corrupted filesystem. In ext4_cache_extents(),
when processing an extent that has a lower logical block number than
the previous extent's end, the calculation of the hole size underflows:
If prev = 4352 and lblk = 1280:
lblk - prev = 1280 - 4352 = -3072 (as signed)
= 4294964224 (as unsigned)
This underflowed value is passed as 'len' to ext4_es_cache_extent(),
where the end block calculation overflows:
end = lblk + len - 1 = 4352 + 4294964224 - 1 = 1279
Then the BUG_ON(end < lblk) triggers because 1279 < 4352.
Fix this by adding a check in ext4_cache_extents() to ensure extents
are properly ordered before attempting to cache holes. If out-of-order
extents are detected, report the filesystem corruption and return.
