__ntfs_write_inode() overwrites a failed mapping-pairs update with the
result of syncing standard information. fsync() can then report success
while the mapping pairs remain dirty.
Check the update result after releasing the runlist lock and take the
existing error path. Preserve the errno and retry handling for ENOMEM.
Fixes: af0db57d4293 ("ntfs: update inode operations")

Testing:
Fault injection reproduced successful fsync() returns for ENOMEM and
EIO before the fix. Both errors reach userspace afterward; disabling
injection allows fsync() to succeed, with size and data preserved across
remount.

From: Baolin Liu <liubaolin@kylinos.cn>
ntfs_cluster_free() returns a signed 64-bit cluster count on success,
not an integer status. Several attribute cleanup paths truncate that
count or treat a positive count as an error. ntfs_attr_rm() can even
return the count to callers that expect zero on success.
Store the result in s64 variables, test negative results for failure,
and compare the full count when validating an allocation rollback.
Return zero from ntfs_attr_rm() after successful removal. This keeps
successful deallocation from being misclassified by later reporting.

From: Baolin Liu <liubaolin@kylinos.cn>
Add file and volume helpers to report metadata errors through the generic
deferred fsnotify infrastructure while retaining the volume error bit.
Pass the caller's errno unchanged.
Move ntfs_inode_base() to inode.h and use it to identify the base file for
attribute and extent inodes. Fall back to a volume report for I_FREEING
or I_WILL_FREE, when retaining the inode for deferred reporting is unsafe.
When SB_ACTIVE is clear, record only the volume error state.

ntfs_attr_get_search_ctx() returns NULL for both allocation and MFT
mapping failures, causing callers to misreport mapping errors as ENOMEM.
Return error pointers carrying the original errno. Convert all callers
and the documented usage, clearing pointers before shared cleanup where
needed. Preserve deliberate boolean and best-effort behavior while making
those callers recognize error pointers.

Hi HyunchulLee,
You're right. In v5, I'll make ntfs_attr_exist() preserve errors and
update its callers to distinguish errors from an absent attribute.
Thanks,
Baolin.

From: Xuewen Wang <wangxuewen@kylinos.cn>
Mount initialization detects invalid MFT locations, mirror mismatches
and corrupt bootstrap metadata without consistently recording them.
Report these failures and use EFSCORRUPTED for confirmed corruption.
Preserve specific errors through boot-sector parsing and MFT loading.
Keep allocation failures and unsupported geometry distinct, and retain
the existing read-only fallback. Before SB_ACTIVE, reporting records
the volume error state without sending events.

Hi Hyunchul,
You're right, I missed that return path. I'll return the actual

From: Dandan Wu <wudandan@kylinos.cn>
Required system-file loading can obscure the original errno or fail
without recording corrupt metadata. Report missing system records,
invalid tables and allocation metadata, and a stale hiberfil.sys
reference. An absent hiberfil.sys remains valid.
Preserve errors from the AttrDef and UpCase loaders and other system-file
initialization paths, retaining the default-upcase fallback. Report a
missing AT_VOLUME_INFORMATION during volume-flag updates and preserve
the errno when synchronizing the volume dirty state.

ntfs_report_*_metadata_error() calls seem to be repeated across serveral
functions. Would it be possible to move and call them right before
returing from the fucntion? Also, could you apply the same change to the
other patches as well?

Hi Hyunchul,
Agreed. In v5, I'll consolidate repeated reporting at common error
exits where appropriate, including in the other patches.
Thanks,

From: Dandan Wu <wudandan@kylinos.cn>
Logfile validation and emptying can detect corruption or I/O failures
without recording them. Report an unusable nonempty log after trying
alternate restart pages, keeping unsupported versions distinct from
corrupt restart metadata.
Report a missing required logfile, read failures, and write failures or
corrupt runlists when emptying it, including on remount. Retain the
existing read-only fallback.

From: Baolin Liu @ 2026-10-20 8:43 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linkinjeon, hyc.lee; +Cc: ntfs, linux-kernel, wangxuewen, wudandan, Baolin Liu
From: Baolin Liu <liubaolin@kylinos.cn>
Runlist mapping and cluster cleanup can detect invalid mappings or
failed recovery without reporting them. Report malformed mapping pairs,
missing extents within allocated_size, and failed bitmap or allocation
recovery. Preserve valid sparse holes and EOF.
Use EFSCORRUPTED for corruption and propagate it through mapping callers
and an LCN_EFSCORRUPTED sentinel. Keep allocation and underlying I/O
errors distinct, including when freeing clusters.
Signed-off-by: Baolin Liu <liubaolin@kylinos.cn>

From: Dandan Wu <wudandan@kylinos.cn>
The iomap paths detect missing required attributes and invalid runs
without reporting them. Report these conditions as EFSCORRUPTED while
preserving allocation and underlying mapping errors.
Capture synchronous iomap errors in read_folio so buffered reads retain
their errno instead of turning corruption and allocation failures into
EIO. Keep the existing partial-read behavior.

From: Dandan Wu <wudandan@kylinos.cn>
Compressed I/O can detect malformed LZNT1 data or WOF metadata and
compressed data without reporting it. Report corruption as EFSCORRUPTED
and retain underlying read, mapping and allocation errors.
Save compression-buffer allocation errors before cleanup so ENOMEM does
not become EIO. Report failed mapping updates after compressed writes
and failed cluster release separately from the initiating error.
Signed-off-by: Dandan Wu <wudandan@kylinos.cn>
---
Testing:
Fault injection of compression-buffer allocation failure confirms that
it emits no error event and a subsequent read can succeed.

From: Xuewen Wang <wangxuewen@kylinos.cn>
ntfs_attr_record_move_to() ignores failure to remove the source attribute
after copying it. It can update the attribute-list reference and report
success with both copies present.
Check removal before changing the list entry. On failure, attempt to
remove the destination copy, mark its record dirty and unmap it, leaving
the list pointing to the source. Report destination cleanup failure
separately.
Shrinking a record to zero needs no extra space, so failure indicates
inconsistent record accounting. Return and report EFSCORRUPTED even if
cleanup also fails.

Attribute lookup and reading can detect malformed records and lists,
invalid stored flags or sizes, and short metadata reads without reporting
them. Report corruption against the base file and use EFSCORRUPTED.
Report missing required attributes and missing AttrDef definitions while
preserving underlying errors, ordinary lookup misses and size-limit
results.

From: Baolin Liu @ 2026-10-20 8:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linkinjeon, hyc.lee; +Cc: ntfs, linux-kernel, wangxuewen, wudandan
From: Xuewen Wang <wangxuewen@kylinos.cn>
Attribute creation, removal and relocation can fail after modifying
metadata without reporting the incomplete update. Report failed record
restoration, cluster release and cleanup, preserving the initiating
error separately from recovery failures.
Include interrupted removal after clusters or records have been freed.
Retain best-effort removal behavior and ordinary early allocation errors;
the earlier cluster-count fix keeps successful deallocation from being
reported as a failure.
Signed-off-by: Xuewen Wang <wangxuewen@kylinos.cn>

From: Baolin Liu <liubaolin@kylinos.cn>
Attribute-list building, repacking and updating can leave inconsistent
metadata without reporting it. Report missing required list attributes,
invalid list state, failed mapping restoration and cluster cleanup.
Preserve the original update error and report independent recovery
failures against the base file. Use EFSCORRUPTED for confirmed corruption
while retaining allocation failures as such.

To: linkinjeon, hyc.lee; +Cc: ntfs, linux-kernel, wangxuewen, wudandan, Baolin Liu
From: Baolin Liu <liubaolin@kylinos.cn>
Attribute conversion and mapping updates can detect corruption or fail
to recover modified metadata without reporting it. Cover missing
required attributes, malformed mapping pairs and failed extent cleanup.
Preserve ENOMEM from runlist merges and report invalid merges as
EFSCORRUPTED. Report failed cluster release, mapping restoration and
record cleanup separately from the initiating error.

From: Dandan Wu <wudandan@kylinos.cn>
Resize can fail after changing allocation or record placement without
reporting the resulting state. Report failed recovery and missing
required attributes, preserving allocation errors and using
EFSCORRUPTED for confirmed corruption.
After a nonresident shrink, report context or lookup failures when the
old data size exceeds the shortened allocation. Track whether resident
resize moved records and report interrupted moves or failed list updates
afterward. Keep early allocation failures distinct.

From: Dandan Wu <wudandan@kylinos.cn>
Range insertion, collapse, hole punching and preallocation can fail
after changing runlists or allocation without reporting the unfinished
metadata update. Report mapping-update and cluster-release failures
against the affected file.
Use EFSCORRUPTED for missing required attributes and invalid runlist
state. Report context and lookup failures after a range update, including
ENOMEM, while keeping ordinary early allocation failures unreported.

From: Baolin Liu <liubaolin@kylinos.cn>
Report corrupt inode metadata, stale extent references and missing
required attributes as EFSCORRUPTED. During FILE_NAME synchronization,
report missing index entries and unused parents unless the child is
being deleted. Retain best-effort parent lookup handling.
Use volume reports for deletion and eviction cleanup. Report failed
attribute walks even on ENOMEM or interruption: deletion still frees the
MFT records and may leave unvisited allocations behind.
At eviction, report dirty base records that the final write failed to
save, using its errno or EIO if none was returned. Also report discarded
dirty runlists and extent records. Normal writeback keeps its ENOMEM
retry behavior; after SB_ACTIVE is cleared, only volume state is updated.

From: Dandan Wu <wudandan@kylinos.cn>
Index validation and block I/O can detect corrupt entries, MST
failures and short reads without reporting them. Use EFSCORRUPTED for
corruption and report failures against the index owner.
Preserve block-read errors through index lookup and update its handling
of corrupt search results. Keep underlying I/O errors distinct and
normalize short index-block writes to EIO.

From: Baolin Liu @ 2026-10-20 8:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linkinjeon, hyc.lee; +Cc: ntfs, linux-kernel, wangxuewen, wudandan
From: Dandan Wu <wudandan@kylinos.cn>
Index-root and allocation lookups collapse errors into NULL, and
tree traversal can turn failures into EIO or EOF. Return error pointers
and update all callers together, including both tree-walk directions.
Report missing or malformed required index metadata as EFSCORRUPTED.
Let readdir return traversal errors without marking the directory as
exhausted. Resume from the insertion position after a saved key is
deleted, advance past consumed entries before a partial result, and
retain the saved key when lookup fails before consuming it.

To: linkinjeon, hyc.lee; +Cc: ntfs, linux-kernel, wangxuewen, wudandan
From: Dandan Wu <wudandan@kylinos.cn>
Directory lookup and enumeration detect malformed indexes, missing
required attributes and stale references without consistently reporting
them. Report corruption against the directory and use EFSCORRUPTED while
preserving underlying errors and ordinary lookup misses.
Attribute dangling reparse entries to the directory. Report unused
parents during directory fsync except for deleting children, retaining
its existing return behavior.

From: Dandan Wu <wudandan@kylinos.cn>
Index bitmap updates, root relocation and entry deletion can fail
after metadata has changed without reporting the incomplete update.
Report failed cleanup and restoration against the index owner,
including ENOMEM that leaves an unfinished deletion.
Report malformed bitmap and tree state as EFSCORRUPTED. Preserve
independent recovery errors and keep early allocation failures distinct.

To: linkinjeon, hyc.lee; +Cc: ntfs, linux-kernel, wangxuewen, wudandan
From: Dandan Wu <wudandan@kylinos.cn>
Report stale directory references, missing FILE_NAME counterparts and
missing index entries during deletion. Return EFSCORRUPTED from the
affected failing lookups; ordinary missing names remain valid results.
Report independent cleanup failures during create, link, rename, file
size restoration and preallocation trimming. Use directory attribution
where appropriate and volume reports during failed creation.
Report missing required parents and attributes during file fsync while
retaining its best-effort lookup handling. Preserve the writeback errno
from the buffered fallback of direct writes instead of replacing it
with EIO.

From: Xuewen Wang <wangxuewen@kylinos.cn>
Exportfs calls ntfs_get_parent() without the child inode lock. Hold the
child's mrec_lock across FILE_NAME lookup and parent loading to stabilize
corruption checks against rename and rmdir.
Report an unused parent as EFSCORRUPTED only for a linked, non-deleting
child. Report missing required or malformed FILE_NAME attributes, while
continuing past malformed candidates as before. Release the lock before
d_obtain_alias().
Preserve ordinary stale-handle behavior. NTFS returns EFSCORRUPTED for a
confirmed corrupt parent reference; generic open_by_handle_at() decoding
still converts that error to ESTALE.

MFT mapping, allocation and freeing can detect invalid records or
failed cleanup without reporting them. Cover stale extent references,
malformed reserved records and failures to restore allocation bits or
record state.
Use EFSCORRUPTED for corruption while retaining normal reserved-record
ineligibility. Use ntfs_inode_base() for file attribution and volume
reports when no usable file reference exists.

From: Baolin Liu @ 2026-10-20 8:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linkinjeon, hyc.lee; +Cc: ntfs, linux-kernel, wangxuewen, wudandan, Baolin Liu
From: Baolin Liu <liubaolin@kylinos.cn>
Growing the MFT bitmap or data allocation can detect missing or
inconsistent metadata and leave failed recovery unreported. Record
corruption and failures to restore mappings, allocation, or search state
through volume metadata reports.
Use EFSCORRUPTED for corrupt mappings and preserve ENOMEM from runlist
merges. After a failed merge, report cluster-release failure separately
without replacing the merge error.

From: Baolin Liu <liubaolin@kylinos.cn>
MFT write failures mark the volume without notifying error listeners.
Report device failures from the existing BIO completion callback for
both synchronous and asynchronous writes. Use blk_status_to_errno(),
matching the error recorded in the address_space.
Also report mirror and write-preparation failures. Use EFSCORRUPTED for
invalid record geometry, mappings and MST preparation, preserving the
errno through the affected error exits and mapping_set_error(). Keep
ENOMEM redirty and retry behavior.
Use the generic deferred reporter for completion-context notifications.

Report malformed EA chains, orphaned attributes and invalid Linux flag
sizes. Convert EINVAL from stored ACL decoding and inconsistent saved-ACL
read lengths to EFSCORRUPTED. Keep missing values, unsupported ACL versions
and allocation failures distinct from corruption.
Report EA and EA_INFORMATION restoration failures separately, and failed
ACL restoration after a WSL mode update. Even ENOMEM here can leave
metadata inconsistent. Preserve the initiating error and existing
shutdown decisions.
Preserve EFSCORRUPTED for missing $AttrDef definitions instead of masking
it as EFBIG. Keep non-ENOENT file-flag lookup errors. Report mapping-pairs
sizing errors only for EFSCORRUPTED; an unmapped cache returning EINVAL
does not prove corruption.

Hi Hyunchul
You're right. I'll check the -EIO and -ENOENT paths and fix missing
reporting in v5, while keeping normal absence distinct from corruption.
Thanks,
Baolin.

Report missing or stale MFT references after a successful base-name
lookup as EFSCORRUPTED only when the caller holds the directory i_rwsem.
Pass that locking state through the helper and its callers. Unlocked
revalidation can race with unlink or record reuse and must not report
those races as corruption.
Also report missing required stream attributes and cleanup failures.
For rollback failures that trigger shutdown, report the cleanup errno
and retain the EIO operation result. Preserve the existing ENOMEM and
interruption exceptions, and keep ordinary missing streams silent.

From: Xuewen Wang <wangxuewen@kylinos.cn>
Report missing required reparse/ObjectID indexes or entries, short stored
values and missing reparse attributes. Use EFSCORRUPTED for corruption
while preserving read errors. Keep new zero-tag reparse placeholders
valid before index insertion.
Return error pointers from reparse-index lookup to preserve specific
errors instead of replacing them with EINVAL. Retain best-effort handling
of index-removal lookup failures.
Report failed reparse writes when replacing existing data or after a
partial write, and failures in the existing index-insertion rollback.
Keep the initiating error separate from cleanup errors.

From: Baolin Liu <liubaolin@kylinos.cn>
The existing shutdown sites set NV_Shutdown without notifying filesystem
error listeners. Add ntfs_report_shutdown() and use it for forced
shutdown, device removal, EA restoration and named-stream rollback.
Use test_and_set_bit(NV_Shutdown, &vol->flags) to set the flag atomically
and call the generic shutdown reporter only when the bit was previously
clear. Concurrent callers therefore initiate one report per transition.
Keep the existing conditions that trigger shutdown.

> Changes since v3:
> - Extend reporting to previously uncovered corruption and recovery
> failures in system metadata, attributes, runlists, directories/indexes,
> MFT records and writeback, LZNT1/WOF, EA/ACLs, named streams, reparse
> points and object IDs. This includes ntfs_ib_read(), nonresident iomap
> and ntfs_lookup_inode_by_name(), the lookup path in this base; the
> cited ntfs_lookup_inode_by_example() is absent.
> - Reuse ntfs_inode_base() for attribute and extent inode attribution.
> Use volume reports during eviction; before SB_ACTIVE, record only
> the volume error state.
> - Use test_and_set_bit(NV_Shutdown, &vol->flags) so concurrent shutdown
> callers initiate only one shutdown report.
> - Preserve specific errors through attribute search contexts, index
> traversal, buffered reads and mount initialization. Keep recoverable
> resource failures distinct from failed recovery after metadata changes.
> - Stabilize export parent reconstruction against rename/rmdir and avoid
> classifying unlocked named-stream revalidation races as corruption.
> Preserve directory resume behavior after deleted keys and partial
> reads, including retries after traversal errors.
>
> Series organization:
> - 1-4: fix lost writeback errors and cluster-free count handling;
> add reporting helpers and preserve search-context initialization errors
> through the API and all callers.
> - 5-7: boot geometry/MFT bootstrap, required system files/volume
> metadata, and logfile validation/emptying in separate patches.
> - 8-10: runlist/cluster allocation, iomap/buffered reads, and
> LZNT1/WOF compressed streams in separate patches.
> - 11: handle source-record removal failure during attribute moves
> before updating the attribute-list reference.
> - 12-14: attribute lookup/validation, record updates/cleanup, and
> attribute-list updates/recovery.
> - 15-17: attribute conversion/mapping, resize/relocation recovery,

> - 18: inode metadata and eviction cleanup.
> - 19-22: index validation/block I/O, traversal errors/directory

> - 23-24: namespace/file recovery and export parent reconstruction.
> - 25-27: MFT record lifecycle, bitmap/data growth recovery, and
> MFT writeback in separate patches.
> - 28-30: EA/ACLs, named streams, and reparse/ObjectID indexes.
> - 31: add the atomic shutdown helper and convert all callers.

> Validation:
> - The final kernel passed 35 QEMU guest cases covering normal file and
> namespace operations, streams, metadata corruption, directory resume,
> compression/mapping gaps, AttrDef, mount, concurrent shutdown, export
> handles, fsync/remount/readback and filesystem ustat selftests.
> - Compression-buffer allocation injection reproduced EIO before the
> fix and ENOMEM afterward. A complete retry succeeded after disabling
> injection, with no filesystem error event; the healthy control passed.
> - Six additional ACL guest cases passed with CONFIG_MULTIUSER=y.
> On-disk invalid UID/GID values in access and default ACLs returned
> EUCLEAN and generated EUCLEAN events identifying the affected inode.
> Valid ACLs read back correctly; invalid userspace ACL submissions
> returned EINVAL without error events. These tests used no kernel hooks.
> - Eleven additional NFSv3/TCP loopback guest cases passed using kernel
> nfsd, a mounted Linux client and targeted RPC tests. Tracing confirmed
> ntfs_get_parent() calls from nfsd for healthy and corrupt parents,
> with subtree_check enabled and disabled. The tests also covered
> stale handles and 320 rename/rmdir race iterations without false
> corruption reports. Corruption events identified the affected directory.

Hi Namjae and Hyunchul,
Sorry for the delay in sending v4. It has been about a month since
I posted v3.
Hyunchul raised three points in the v3 review:
1. Some paths detect corruption without calling any report_*_error()
helper, including ntfs_lookup_inode_by_example(), ntfs_ib_read(),
and ntfs_read_iomap_begin_non_resident().
2. Reuse ntfs_inode_base() instead of repeating the logic for finding
the base inode at individual call sites.
3. Use test_and_set_bit() when setting NV_Shutdown to avoid races
and duplicate shutdown reports.
We have addressed these points in v4. Xuewen, Dandan, and I spent
considerable time auditing the error paths, especially looking for
missing reports. During that work, we found further reporting gaps
and related error-handling issues that needed attention, so preparing
this revision took longer than expected.
The series now contains 31 patches. We split the changes into
smaller,focused patches to keep individual patches manageable and make
review easier. Sorry for the length of the series, and thank you for
your patience.
We would appreciate another review of v4. Thank you both for your
time and feedback.
Best regards,
Baolin.
