ocfs2: fix out-of-bounds write in ocfs2_remove_refcount_extent

2026-07-24T14:19:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1ec3cca2d8b6b9ff6584ca626d4c8918bbf48d44 ]

[BUG]
Unlinking a refcounted file whose refcount tree has leaf blocks
triggers a fortify panic due to an out-of-bounds write.

[CAUSE]
When the last leaf block is removed from a refcount tree,
ocfs2_remove_refcount_extent() converts the root back to leaf mode
with a bulk memset on &rb->rf_records. rf_records sits in an anonymous
union with rf_list. rf_list.l_tree_depth aliases rf_records.rl_count,
and is 0 for a single-level tree. With rl_count equal to 0, the memset
writes past the 16-byte declared size of rf_records, which the fortify
checker catches.

[FIX]
Replace the bulk memset on &rb->rf_records with a correctly-bounded
memset on rl_recs[] alone, after setting rl_count to the correct value.

fs: remove unncessary pagevec.h includes

2026-04-05T20:53:06+00:00

Remove unused pagevec.h includes from .c files. These were found with
the following command:

  grep -rl '#include.*pagevec\.h' --include='*.c' | while read f; do
  	grep -qE 'PAGEVEC_SIZE|folio_batch' "$f" || echo "$f"
  done

There are probably more removal candidates in .h files, but those are
more complex to analyze.

treewide: change inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64

2026-03-06T13:31:28+00:00

On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long is only 32 bits wide, which
causes 64-bit inode numbers to be silently truncated. Several
filesystems (NFS, XFS, BTRFS, etc.) can generate inode numbers that
exceed 32 bits, and this truncation can lead to inode number collisions
and other subtle bugs on 32-bit systems.

Change the type of inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64 to ensure that
inode numbers are always represented as 64-bit values regardless of
architecture. Update all format specifiers treewide from %lu/%lx to
%llu/%llx to match the new type, along with corresponding local variable
types.

This is the bulk treewide conversion. Earlier patches in this series
handled trace events separately to allow trace field reordering for
better struct packing on 32-bit.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

ocfs2: replace deprecated strcpy with strscpy

2025-11-20T22:03:45+00:00

strcpy() has been deprecated [1] because it performs no bounds checking on
the destination buffer, which can lead to buffer overflows.  Replace it
with the safer strscpy(), and copy directly into '->rf_signature' instead
of using the start of the struct as the destination buffer.

VFS: rename kern_path_locked() and related functions.

2025-09-23T10:37:36+00:00

kern_path_locked() is now only used to prepare for removing an object
from the filesystem (and that is the only credible reason for wanting a
positive locked dentry).  Thus it corresponds to kern_path_create() and
so should have a corresponding name.

Unfortunately the name "kern_path_create" is somewhat misleading as it
doesn't actually create anything.  The recently added
simple_start_creating() provides a better pattern I believe.  The
"start" can be matched with "end" to bracket the creating or removing.

So this patch changes names:

 kern_path_locked -> start_removing_path
 kern_path_create -> start_creating_path
 user_path_create -> start_creating_user_path
 user_path_locked_at -> start_removing_user_path_at
 done_path_create -> end_creating_path

and also introduces end_removing_path() which is identical to
end_creating_path().

__start_removing_path (which was __kern_path_locked) is enhanced to
call mnt_want_write() for consistency with the start_creating_path().
