[PATCH v3] ocfs2: validate group add input before caching
From: ZhengYuan Huang
Date: Thu Apr 09 2026 - 22:02:37 EST
[BUG]
OCFS2_IOC_GROUP_ADD can trigger a BUG_ON in
ocfs2_set_new_buffer_uptodate():
kernel BUG at fs/ocfs2/uptodate.c:509!

[CAUSE]
ocfs2_group_add() calls ocfs2_set_new_buffer_uptodate() on a
user-controlled group block before ocfs2_verify_group_and_input()
validates that block number. That helper is only valid for newly
allocated metadata and asserts that the block is not already present in
the chosen metadata cache. The code also uses INODE_CACHE(inode) even
though the group descriptor belongs to main_bm_inode and later journal
accesses use that cache context instead.
[FIX]
Validate the on-disk group descriptor before caching it, then add it to
the metadata cache tracked by INODE_CACHE(main_bm_inode). Keep the
validation failure path separate from the later cleanup path so we only
remove the buffer from that cache after it has actually been inserted.
This keeps the group buffer lifetime consistent across validation,
journaling, and cleanup.
Fixes: 7909f2bf8353 ("[PATCH 2/2] ocfs2: Implement group add for online resize")

v3:
- keep out_free_group_bh as the brelse() label
- add out_remove_cache for failures after cache insertion
- send ocfs2_start_trans() failure to out_remove_cache
v2:
- add the missing Fixes tag for the group-add introduction commit
- keep the validation failure path separate so cache removal only happens
after the buffer has been inserted into main_bm_inode's cache
