[PATCH] erofs: fix folio reuse from a different address_space in erofs_bread()

From: Binglei Wang

Date: Wed Sep 30 2026 - 07:24:21 EST


From: Binglei Wang <l3b2w1@xxxxxxxxx>

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.
