[PATCH] nilfs2: handle inconsistent state in nilfs_btnode_create_block()

From: Ryusuke Konishi
Date: Thu Jul 25 2024 - 01:20:01 EST


Syzbot reported that a buffer state inconsistency was detected in
nilfs_btnode_create_block(), triggering a kernel bug.

It is not appropriate to treat this inconsistency as a bug; it can
occur if the argument block address (the buffer index of the newly
created block) is a virtual block number and has been reallocated due
to corruption of the bitmap used to manage its allocation state.

So, modify nilfs_btnode_create_block() and its callers to treat it as
a possible filesystem error, rather than triggering a kernel bug.

Andrew, please apply this as a bug fix.

This fixes one syzbot-reported issue where a kernel bug could be
triggered on corrupted file system images.

Thanks,
Ryusuke Konishi
