Subject: [PATCH v2] ext4: fix infinite loop when replaying fast_commit
Date: Wed, 15 May 2024 09:28:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240515082857.32730-1-luis.henriques@linux.dev> (raw)
When doing fast_commit replay an infinite loop may occur due to an
uninitialized extent_status struct. ext4_ext_determine_insert_hole() does
not detect the replay and calls ext4_es_find_extent_range(), which will
return immediately without initializing the 'es' variable.
Because 'es' contains garbage, an integer overflow may happen causing an
infinite loop in this function, easily reproducible using fstest generic/039.
This commit fixes this issue by unconditionally initializing the structure
in function ext4_es_find_extent_range().
Thanks to Zhang Yi, for figuring out the real problem!
