Currently in ext4_valid_block_bitmap() we expect the bitmap to be positioned anywhere between 0 and s_blocksize clusters, but that's wrong because the bitmap can be placed anywhere in the block group. This causes false positives when validating bitmaps on perfectly valid file system layouts. Fix it by checking whether the bitmap is within the group boundary. The problem can be reproduced using the following mkfs -t ext3 -E stride=256 /dev/vdb1 mount /dev/vdb1 /mnt/test cd /mnt/test wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.16.3.tar.xz tar xf linux-4.16.3.tar.xz This will result in the warnings in the logs EXT4-fs error (device vdb1): ext4_validate_block_bitmap:399: comm tar: bg 84: block 2774529: invalid block bitmap [ Changed slightly for clarity and to not drop a overflow test -- TYT ] Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Reported-by: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com> Fixes: 7dac4a1726a9 ("ext4: add validity checks for bitmap block numbers") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
