Subject: [PATCH v3] nilfs2: Fix potential block overflow that cause system hang
Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2025 12:22:15 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <tencent_62C5D2DF8647899D2EE26EECCC8CA7C44606@qq.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <tencent_84D71B07255DBA68BBE733F89E1F1B344B08@qq.com>

When a user executes the FITRIM command, an underflow can occur when
calculating nblocks if end_block is too small. Since nblocks is of
type sector_t, which is u64, a negative nblocks value will become a
very large positive integer. This ultimately leads to the block layer
function __blkdev_issue_discard() taking an excessively long time to
process the bio chain, and the ns_segctor_sem lock remains held for a
long period. This prevents other tasks from acquiring the ns_segctor_sem
lock, resulting in the hang reported by syzbot in [1].

If the ending block is too small, for example, smaller than first data
block, this poses a risk of corrupting the filesystem's superblock.
Here, I check if the segment's ending block number is 0 to determine
if the previously calculated ending block is too small.

Although the start and len values in the user input range are too small,
a conservative strategy is adopted here to safely ignore them, which is
equivalent to a no-op; it will not perform any trimming and will not
throw an error.
