Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
erofs: handle overlapped pclusters out of crafted images properly<br />
<br />
syzbot reported a task hang issue due to a deadlock case where it is<br />
waiting for the folio lock of a cached folio that will be used for<br />
cache I/Os.<br />
<br />
After looking into the crafted fuzzed image, I found it&#39;s formed with<br />
several overlapped big pclusters as below:<br />
<br />
Ext: logical offset | length : physical offset | length<br />
0: 0.. 16384 | 16384 : 151552.. 167936 | 16384<br />
1: 16384.. 32768 | 16384 : 155648.. 172032 | 16384<br />
2: 32768.. 49152 | 16384 : 537223168.. 537239552 | 16384<br />
...<br />
<br />
Here, extent 0/1 are physically overlapped although it&#39;s entirely<br />
_impossible_ for normal filesystem images generated by mkfs.<br />
<br />
First, managed folios containing compressed data will be marked as<br />
up-to-date and then unlocked immediately (unlike in-place folios) when<br />
compressed I/Os are complete. If physical blocks are not submitted in<br />
the incremental order, there should be separate BIOs to avoid dependency<br />
issues. However, the current code mis-arranges z_erofs_fill_bio_vec()<br />
and BIO submission which causes unexpected BIO waits.<br />
<br />
Second, managed folios will be connected to their own pclusters for<br />
efficient inter-queries. However, this is somewhat hard to implement<br />
easily if overlapped big pclusters exist. Again, these only appear in<br />
fuzzed images so let&#39;s simply fall back to temporary short-lived pages<br />
for correctness.<br />
<br />
Additionally, it justifies that referenced managed folios cannot be<br />
truncated for now and reverts part of commit 2080ca1ed3e4 ("erofs: tidy<br />
up `struct z_erofs_bvec`") for simplicity although it shouldn&#39;t be any<br />
difference.
