From 23892d383bee15b64f5463bd7195615734bb2415 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yifei Liu Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2022 15:53:12 +0000 Subject: jffs2: correct logic when creating a hole in jffs2_write_begin Bug description and fix: 1. Write data to a file, say all 1s from offset 0 to 16. 2. Truncate the file to a smaller size, say 8 bytes. 3. Write new bytes (say 2s) from an offset past the original size of the file, say at offset 20, for 4 bytes. This is supposed to create a "hole" in the file, meaning that the bytes from offset 8 (where it was truncated above) up to the new write at offset 20, should all be 0s (zeros). 4. Flush all caches using "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" (or unmount and remount) the f/s. 5. Check the content of the file. It is wrong. The 1s that used to be between bytes 9 and 16, before the truncation, have REAPPEARED (they should be 0s). We wrote a script and helper C program to reproduce the bug (reproduce_jffs2_write_begin_issue.sh, write_file.c, and Makefile). We can make them available to anyone. The above example is shown when writing a small file within the same first page. But the bug happens for larger files, as long as steps 1, 2, and 3 above all happen within the same page. The problem was traced to the jffs2_write_begin code, where it goes into an 'if' statement intended to handle writes past the current EOF (i.e., writes that may create a hole). The code computes a 'pageofs' that is the floor of the write position (pos), aligned to the page size boundary. In other words, 'pageofs' will never be larger than 'pos'. The code then sets the internal jffs2_raw_inode->isize to the size of max(current inode size, pageofs) but that is wrong: the new file size should be the 'pos', which is larger than both the current inode size and pageofs. Similarly, the code incorrectly sets the internal jffs2_raw_inode->dsize to the difference between the pageofs minus current inode size; instead it should be the current pos minus the current inode size. Finally, inode->i_size was also set incorrectly. The patch below fixes this bug. The bug was discovered using a new tool for finding f/s bugs using model checking, called MCFS (Model Checking File Systems).
