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.

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]\"},{\"lang\":\"es\",\"value\":\"En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta:\\n\\nnilfs2: Corrige un posible desbordamiento de bloque que causa un cuelgue del sistema\\n\\nCuando un usuario ejecuta el comando FITRIM, puede ocurrir un subdesbordamiento al calcular nblocks si end_block es demasiado peque\u00f1o.
