Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-12-27 15:02:39 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: fix to drop all discards after creating snapshot on lvm device

Piergiorgio reported a bug in bugzilla as below:

------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 969 at fs/f2fs/segment.c:1330
RIP: 0010:__submit_discard_cmd+0x27d/0x400 [f2fs]
Call Trace:
 __issue_discard_cmd+0x1ca/0x350 [f2fs]
 issue_discard_thread+0x191/0x480 [f2fs]
 kthread+0xcf/0x100
 ret_from_fork+0x31/0x50
 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30

w/ below testcase, it can reproduce this bug quickly:
- pvcreate /dev/vdb
- vgcreate myvg1 /dev/vdb
- lvcreate -L 1024m -n mylv1 myvg1
- mount /dev/myvg1/mylv1 /mnt/f2fs
- dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/f2fs/file bs=1M count=20
- sync
- rm /mnt/f2fs/file
- sync
- lvcreate -L 1024m -s -n mylv1-snapshot /dev/myvg1/mylv1
- umount /mnt/f2fs

The root cause is: it will update discard_max_bytes of mounted lvm
device to zero after creating snapshot on this lvm device, then,
__submit_discard_cmd() will pass parameter @nr_sects w/ zero value
to __blkdev_issue_discard(), it returns a NULL bio pointer, result
in panic.

This patch changes as below for fixing:
1. Let's drop all remained discards in f2fs_unfreeze() if snapshot
of lvm device is created.
2. Checking discard_max_bytes before submitting discard during
__submit_discard_cmd().
