Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-24 13:06:30 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: compress: fix to call f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback() in f2fs_write_raw_pages()

BUG_ON() will be triggered when writing files concurrently,
because the same page is writtenback multiple times.

1597 void folio_end_writeback(struct folio *folio)
1598 {
		......
1618     if (!__folio_end_writeback(folio))
1619         BUG();
		......
1625 }

kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:1619!

Below is the concurrency scenario:

[Process A]		[Process B]		[Process C]
f2fs_write_raw_pages()
  - redirty_page_for_writepage()
  - unlock page()
			f2fs_do_write_data_page()
			  - lock_page()
			  - clear_page_dirty_for_io()
			  - set_page_writeback() [1st writeback]
			    .....
			    - unlock page()

						generic_perform_write()
						  - f2fs_write_begin()
						    - wait_for_stable_page()

						  - f2fs_write_end()
						    - set_page_dirty()

  - lock_page()
    - f2fs_do_write_data_page()
      - set_page_writeback() [2st writeback]

This problem was introduced by the previous commit 7377e853967b ("f2fs:
compress: fix potential deadlock of compress file"). All pagelocks were
released in f2fs_write_raw_pages(), but whether the page was
in the writeback state was ignored in the subsequent writing process.
Let's fix it by waiting for the page to writeback before writing.
