[PATCH v2] erofs: fix folio reuse from a different address_space in erofs_bread()
From: Binglei Wang
Date: Thu Oct 01 2026 - 02:02:33 EST
erofs_bread() reuses a cached folio on page index match without
checking folio->mapping.
xattr.c calls erofs_init_metabuf() twice on the same buffer without
erofs_put_metabuf(); the two in_metabox sources differ, so buf->mapping
can switch while buf->page still belongs to the old address_space.
The next erofs_bread() then reads the wrong mapping, dropping shared
xattrs with METABOX.
We require folio->mapping == buf->mapping in the reuse check; otherwise
drop the cached folio and re-read via the slow path.
Fixes: 414091322c63 ("erofs: implement metadata compression")

Changes since v1:
- Drop the redundant erofs_put_metabuf() call; setting folio to NULL is
enough since the slow path already releases the cached folio (Gao Xiang).
- Rewrap the commit message to 72 columns.
