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

xfs: fix under-reservation of blocks when repairing sf directories

Whilst running QA on XFS for-next as of 7.3-rc2 with MKFS_OPTIONS="-n size=8192", I observed the following (trimmed) dmesg splat:

This is a consequence of commit 0fe77e57588b98, which added the following assertion to xfs_da_grow_inode_int:

ASSERT(args->total >= dp->i_nblocks - nblks);

Tracing this back to xrep_dir_swap_prep, I noticed that the xfs_da_args object that's passed to xfs_dir2_sf_to_block sets args->total to 1. This is incorrect because mkfs set the directory block size to 8k and the filesystem block size to 4k. In other words, args->total should be 2 here, not 1.

Dave Chinner tripped over the same problem with the same branch through a different channel -- his test setup set the fs block size to 1k, in which case the directory block size is still set to 4k. Here, args->total should be 4.

Changing the assignment of args->total to sc->mp->m_dir_geo->fsbcount makes the assertion go away, but that isn't a complete fix. In xrep_tempexch_estimate, we also incorrectly assume that a shortform conversion requires 1 fsblock when it should be m_dir_geo->fsbcount. Without that, we can under-reserve space in the transaction and cause a filesystem shutdown.

Note that the xfs_dabuf_nfsb helper will compute the correct value for directories and xattr, so we use that instead of open-coding the logic. Also fix xrep_xattr_swap_prep to assign args->total via xfs_dabuf_nfsb to avoid one logic bomb if we ever support multi-fsblock attrs.

In other words, args-\u003etotal should be\n2 here, not 1.\n\nDave Chinner tripped over the same problem with the same branch through\na different channel -- his test setup set the fs block size to 1k, in\nwhich case the directory block size is still set to 4k.  Here,\nargs-\u003etotal should be 4.\n\nChanging the assignment of args-\u003etotal to sc-\u003emp-\u003em_dir_geo-\u003efsbcount\nmakes the assertion go away, but that isn\u0027t a complete fix.  In\nxrep_tempexch_estimate, we also incorrectly assume that a shortform\nconversion requires 1 fsblock when it should be m_dir_geo-\u003efsbcount.\nWithout that, we can under-reserve space in the transaction and cause a\nfilesystem shutdown.\n\nNote that the xfs_dabuf_nfsb helper will compute the correct value for\ndirectories and xattr, so we use that instead of open-coding the logic.\nAlso fix xrep_xattr_swap_prep to assign args-\u003etotal via xfs_dabuf_nfsb\nto avoid one logic bomb if we ever support multi-fsblock attrs.\n\nTripped-by: 0fe77e57588b98 (\"xfs: assert the reservation covers each da fork growth\")"
