[PATCH v3 4/4] ocfs2: validate suballoc slot and bit of extent and refcount blocks
From: Joseph Qi
Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 09:07:16 EST
ocfs2_validate_extent_block() and ocfs2_validate_refcount_block() do
not validate h_suballoc_slot, h_suballoc_bit, rf_suballoc_slot and
rf_suballoc_bit at all. Since extent blocks and refcount blocks are
allocated from a per-slot suballocator at runtime, their suballoc
slots must be within range and their suballoc bits must fit in a block
group bitmap.
Otherwise a corrupted image can carry an out-of-range slot. When the
extent block is freed, ocfs2_cache_extent_block_free() caches it and
ocfs2_free_cached_blocks() later passes the unvalidated slot to
ocfs2_get_system_file_inode(); when the refcount block is freed,
ocfs2_remove_refcount_extent() passes it via ocfs2_cache_block_dealloc().
get_local_system_inode() will then either hit
BUG_ON(slot == OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT) or compute an out-of-bounds index
into the local_system_inodes array. Similarly an oversized suballoc
bit will error out the filesystem in _ocfs2_free_suballoc_bits().
Furthermore group descriptor validation only guarantees bg_bits within
the physical bitmap size, so a corrupted image can still carry a
suballoc bit beyond bg_bits, which would let
ocfs2_block_group_clear_bits() clear bits beyond bg_bitmap. Convert
the remaining BUG_ON against group->bg_bits in
_ocfs2_free_suballoc_bits() to ocfs2_error() as well.
Reject out-of-range suballoc slots and oversized suballoc bits during
validation.
