Hi Mikulas,
Thanks for the patch. We A/B-tested it on Linux 6.6.144 KASAN against the
minimized PoC (mode B format, plant SB_FLAG_DIRTY_BITMAP, load+resume
mode R).
Results:
- unpatched: KASAN null-ptr-deref in list_get_page via
rw_journal_sectors / dm_integrity_resume
- with your change (skip writes in dm_integrity_resume when mode == 'R'):
PoC completes; no list_get_page / KASAN on resume
Happy to test follow-ups if needed.
Thanks,
Yu Junzhe
