Subject: [PATCH] fs/ntfs3: handle partial allocation in attr_data_get_block_locked()
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:29:34 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8fc44517-e231-4539-a353-3dd47045a203@mail.kernel.org> (raw)
From: Slawomir Stepien <sst@poczta.fm>
When allocating clusters for a sparse or compressed attribute in
attr_data_get_block_locked(), the requested virtual cluster number (vcn0)
is aligned down to a frame boundary (vcn). The function then attempts to
allocate a full frame of clusters.
If the disk is nearly full and highly fragmented, attr_allocate_clusters()
might only manage to allocate a small fragment and return success with a
partial allocation length. If this partial allocation is so small that it
does not even reach the originally requested vcn0 (i.e., end <= vcn0), vcn0
remains unallocated (a sparse hole).
When the code subsequently calls run_lookup_entry() for vcn0, it finds the
original SPARSE_LCN entry, which triggers a WARN_ON(1).
Fix this by adding a check to verify if the partial allocation reached
vcn0. If it did not (vcn0 >= end), treat this as an -ENOSPC failure and
jump to the undo1 label. This safely rolls back the partial allocation,
restores the original size, and repacks the runs, leaving the inode in a
consistent state before returning the error to the caller.
