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 wbworkfn (flush-252:16) RIP: 0010:preparecompressoverwrite+0x4c0/0x760 [f2fs] Call Trace: f2fspreparecompressoverwrite+0x5f/0x80 [f2fs] f2fswritecachepages+0x468/0x8a0 [f2fs] f2fswritedatapages+0x2a4/0x2f0 [f2fs] dowritepages+0x38/0xc0 _writebacksingleinode+0x44/0x2a0 writebacksbinodes+0x223/0x4d0 _writebackinodeswb+0x56/0xf0 wbwriteback+0x1dd/0x290 wbworkfn+0x309/0x500 processonework+0x220/0x3c0 workerthread+0x53/0x420 kthread+0x12f/0x150 retfromfork+0x22/0x30

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 findlockpage() may return NULL pointer.

  • preparecompressoverwrite
    • f2fspagecacheget_page
    • unlockpage
      • f2fssetattr
        • truncatesetsize
          • truncateinodepage
            • deletefrompagecache
    • findlockpage

Fix this by avoiding referencing updated page.
