Title

nilfs2: Fix potential block overflow that cause system hang

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nilfs2: Fix potential block overflow that cause system hang When a user executes the FITRIM command, an underflow can occur when calculating nblocks if end_block is too small. Since nblocks is of type sector_t, which is u64, a negative nblocks value will become a very large positive integer. This ultimately leads to the block layer function __blkdev_issue_discard() taking an excessively long time to process the bio chain, and the ns_segctor_sem lock remains held for a long period. This prevents other tasks from acquiring the ns_segctor_sem lock, resulting in the hang reported by syzbot in [1]. If the ending block is too small, typically if it is smaller than 4KiB range, depending on the usage of the segment 0, it may be possible to attempt a discard request beyond the device size causing the hang. Exiting successfully and assign the discarded size (0 in this case) to range->len. Although the start and len values in the user input range are too small, a conservative strategy is adopted here to safely ignore them, which is equivalent to a no-op; it will not perform any trimming and will not throw an error.

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nilfs2: Fix potential block overflow that cause system hang

When a user executes the FITRIM command, an underflow can occur when calculating nblocks if end_block is too small. Since nblocks is of type sector_t, which is u64, a negative nblocks value will become a very large positive integer. This ultimately leads to the block layer function __blkdev_issue_discard() taking an excessively long time to process the bio chain, and the ns_segctor_sem lock remains held for a long period. This prevents other tasks from acquiring the ns_segctor_sem lock, resulting in the hang reported by syzbot in [1].

If the ending block is too small, typically if it is smaller than 4KiB range, depending on the usage of the segment 0, it may be possible to attempt a discard request beyond the device size causing the hang.

Exiting successfully and assign the discarded size (0 in this case) to range->len.

Although the start and len values in the user input range are too small, a conservative strategy is adopted here to safely ignore them, which is equivalent to a no-op; it will not perform any trimming and will not throw an error.

      "value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnilfs2: Fix potential block overflow that cause system hang\n\nWhen a user executes the FITRIM command, an underflow can occur when\ncalculating nblocks if end_block is too small. Since nblocks is of\ntype sector_t, which is u64, a negative nblocks value will become a\nvery large positive integer. This ultimately leads to the block layer\nfunction __blkdev_issue_discard() taking an excessively long time to\nprocess the bio chain, and the ns_segctor_sem lock remains held for a\nlong period. This prevents other tasks from acquiring the ns_segctor_sem\nlock, resulting in the hang reported by syzbot in [1].\n\nIf the ending block is too small, typically if it is smaller than 4KiB\nrange, depending on the usage of the segment 0, it may be possible to\nattempt a discard request beyond the device size causing the hang.\n\nExiting successfully and assign the discarded size (0 in this case)\nto range-\u003elen.\n\nAlthough the start and len values in the user input range are too small,\na conservative strategy is adopted here to safely ignore them, which is\nequivalent to a no-op; it will not perform any trimming and will not\nthrow an error.\n\n[1]\ntask:segctord state:D stack:28968 pid:6093 tgid:6093  ppid:2 task_flags:0x200040 flags:0x00080000\nCall Trace:\n rwbase_write_lock+0x3dd/0x750 kernel/locking/rwbase_rt.c:272\n nilfs_transaction_lock+0x253/0x4c0 fs/nilfs2/segment.c:357\n nilfs_segctor_thread_construct fs/nilfs2/segment.c:2569 [inline]\n nilfs_segctor_thread+0x6ec/0xe00 fs/nilfs2/segment.c:2684\n\n[ryusuke: corrected part of the commit message about the consequences]"
