Subject: [PATCH v3] NFSv4: prevent integer overflow while calling nfs4_set_lease_period()
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2025 23:37:03 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e0d1a313-f359-4ad0-bee3-3fcf0ffc0cda@omp.ru> (raw)
The nfs_client::cl_lease_time field (as well as the jiffies variable it's
used with) is declared as *unsigned long*, which is 32-bit type on 32-bit
arches and 64-bit type on 64-bit arches. When nfs4_set_lease_period() that
sets nfs_client::cl_lease_time is called, 32-bit nfs_fsinfo::lease_time
field is multiplied by HZ -- that might overflow before being implicitly
cast to *unsigned long*. Actually, there's no need to multiply by HZ at all
the call sites of nfs4_set_lease_period() -- it makes more sense to do that
once, inside that function, calling check_mul_overflow() and falling back
to 1 hour on an actual overflow...
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace static
analysis tool.

The patch is against the master branch of Trond Myklebust's linux-nfs.git repo.
Changes in version #3:
- changed the lease period overflow fallback to 1 hour, updated the patch
description accordingly.
Changes in version #2:
- made use of check_mul_overflow() instead of mul_u32_u32();
- capped the multiplication result at ULONG_MAX instead of returning -ERANGE,
keeping nfs4_set_lease_period() *void*;
- rewrote the patch description accordingly.
