In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: compress: fix race condition of overwrite vs truncate

pos_fsstress testcase complains a panic as belew:

------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/compress.c:1082!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
CPU: 4 PID: 2753477 Comm: kworker/u16:2 Tainted: G OE 5.12.0-rc1-custom #1
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-2 04/01/2014
Workqueue: writeback wb_workfn (flush-252:16)
RIP: 0010:prepare_compress_overwrite+0x4c0/0x760 [f2fs]

The root cause is truncate() may race with overwrite as below,
so that one reference count left in page can not guarantee the
page attaching in mapping tree all the time, after truncation,
later find_lock_page() may return NULL pointer.

- prepare_compress_overwrite
- f2fs_pagecache_get_page
- unlock_page
- f2fs_setattr
- truncate_setsize
- truncate_inode_page
- delete_from_page_cache
- find_lock_page

Fix this by avoiding referencing updated page.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: f2fs: comprimir: corregir la condición de ejecución de sobrescritura frente a truncar pos_fsstress testcase presenta un pánico como se muestra a continuación: ------------[ cortar aquí ]--- --------- ¡ERROR del kernel en fs/f2fs/compress.c:1082! código de operación no válido: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI CPU: 4 PID: 2753477 Comm: kworker/u16:2 Contaminado: G OE 5.12.0-rc1-custom #1 Nombre del hardware: PC estándar QEMU (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-2 01/04/2014 Cola de trabajo: reescritura wb_workfn (flush-252:16) RIP: 0010:prepare_compress_overwrite+0x4c0/0x760 [f2fs] Seguimiento de llamadas: f2fs_prepare_compress_overwrite+0x5f/0x80 [f2fs] f2fs_write_cache_pages+ 0x468/0x8a0 [f2fs] f2fs_write_data_pages+0x2a4/0x2f0 [f2fs] do_writepages+0x38/0xc0 __writeback_single_inode+0x44/0x2a0 writeback_sb_inodes+0x223/0x4d0 __writeback_inodes_wb+0x56/0xf0 wb_writeback+0x1dd/0 x290 wb_workfn+0x309/0x500 proceso_one_work+0x220/0x3c0 trabajador_thread+0x53/ 0x420 kthread+0x12f/0x150 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 La causa principal es que truncate() puede correr con sobrescritura como se muestra a continuación, por lo que un recuento de referencias restante en la página no puede garantizar que la página se adjunte en el árbol de mapeo todo el tiempo, después del truncamiento, más adelante find_lock_page() puede devolver un puntero NULL. - prepare_compress_overwrite - f2fs_pagecache_get_page - unlock_page - f2fs_setattr - truncate_setsize - truncate_inode_page - delete_from_page_cache - find_lock_page Solucione este problema evitando hacer referencia a la página actualizada.
