commit a927f1867e61b78f39f9da0bbba3c98c2ca151fe upstream.

fuse_open() takes filemap_invalidate_lock() for a DAX truncate
(dax_truncate = true) and releases it before the out_inode_unlock
label.  But when fuse_dax_break_layouts() fails, the goto
out_inode_unlock skips the unlock and leaks the rwsem, so any later
fault or truncate on the file stalls on the stale lock.

fuse_dax_break_layouts() can fail with -ERESTARTSYS when a signal
interrupts the wait for busy DAX pages to drain:

  open("file", O_RDWR | O_TRUNC)
  └─ fuse_open()
     ├─ filemap_invalidate_lock()        # dax_truncate
     └─ fuse_dax_break_layouts()
        └─ dax_break_layout()
           └─ wait_page_idle()           # TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
              └─ fuse_wait_dax_page()    # unlock, schedule, re-lock
                 └─ signal → -ERESTARTSYS
     goto out_inode_unlock               # <- lock leaked

Fix this by moving filemap_invalidate_unlock() below the label so
that all error paths release the lock, and rename the label to
out_unlock as it now covers more than just the inode lock.

commit 9afeca0d569c9fc89d758fe7a9339d1e8afb1546 upstream.

fuse_do_setattr() takes filemap_invalidate_lock() for a DAX truncate
(fault_blocked = true) and releases it at the out:/error: labels.  But
when a writeback flush is also needed, a write_inode_now() failure
returns directly and leaks the lock, so any later fault or truncate on
the file stalls on the stale rwsem.

For example, truncate(2) on a setuid file reaches fuse_do_setattr()
with both ATTR_SIZE and ATTR_MODE set:

  truncate(2)
  └─ do_truncate()
     ├─ dentry_needs_remove_privs()         # S_ISUID
     └─ notify_change()                     # KILL_SUID -> ATTR_MODE
        └─ fuse_setattr()                   # no killpriv:
           │                                #   ia_valid |= ATTR_MODE
           └─ fuse_do_setattr()
              ├─ filemap_invalidate_lock()  # IS_DAX && is_truncate
              └─ write_inode_now()          # is_wb && ATTR_MODE
                 └─ if (err)                # e.g. daemon -> -EIO
                    return err              # <- lock leaked

Fix this by adding an unlock label that releases the lock before
returning the error, and use it for the fuse_dax_break_layouts()

fuse: wait for FR_FINISHED on abort_on_kill to prevent use-after-free 2026-09-02T12:33:18+00:00 Rochan Avlur rochan.avlur@gmail.com 2026-08-13T03:58:36+00:00 715cb86e33cda43f5224cdc3fd5610c0b6a46f7a commit 64b0b5cacbd2fea88001464cb712c9dfc795b26e upstream. The abort_on_kill path in request_wait_answer() calls fuse_abort_conn() and returns without waiting for FR_FINISHED. If fuse_dev_do_write() is concurrently processing the same request (FR_LOCKED set), the caller frees req->args while it is still being accessed, causing a use-after-free. Fix this by jumping to the existing wait_event(FR_FINISHED) instead of returning early. The wait will not hang because fuse_abort_conn() ensures all requests are ended.

ext4: don't enable DAX on new encrypted files 2026-08-27T12:35:23+00:00 Eric Biggers ebiggers@kernel.org 2026-07-30T17:52:12+00:00 e27bae352158c007143d5bb50f3af33a177c0a37 commit da32af420d6d466e247c43ac0b829edeac7ae0ad upstream. Currently, when a new encrypted regular file is created, the call to ext4_set_inode_flags(inode, init=true) in __ext4_new_inode() is made before EXT4_INODE_ENCRYPT is set. As a result, it can set S_DAX if the filesystem is mounted with "-o dax=always". EXT4_INODE_ENCRYPT then actually gets set a bit later in __ext4_new_inode(), when it calls fscrypt_set_context() which calls ext4_set_context(). ext4_set_context() sets EXT4_INODE_ENCRYPT and calls ext4_set_inode_flags(inode, init=false) to set S_ENCRYPTED too. This was intended to clear S_DAX as well. However, this was broken by commit 043546e46dc7 ("fs/ext4: Only change S_DAX on inode load"). This causes data written to the file to bypass encryption, also causing xfstests failures such as generic/548 (when "-o dax=always" is used).

commit da32af420d6d466e247c43ac0b829edeac7ae0ad upstream.

Currently, when a new encrypted regular file is created, the call to
ext4_set_inode_flags(inode, init=true) in __ext4_new_inode() is made
before EXT4_INODE_ENCRYPT is set.  As a result, it can set S_DAX if the
filesystem is mounted with "-o dax=always".

EXT4_INODE_ENCRYPT then actually gets set a bit later in
__ext4_new_inode(), when it calls fscrypt_set_context() which calls
ext4_set_context().  ext4_set_context() sets EXT4_INODE_ENCRYPT and
calls ext4_set_inode_flags(inode, init=false) to set S_ENCRYPTED too.

This was intended to clear S_DAX as well.  However, this was broken by
commit 043546e46dc7 ("fs/ext4: Only change S_DAX on inode load").  This
causes data written to the file to bypass encryption, also causing
xfstests failures such as generic/548 (when "-o dax=always" is used).

Fix this by simplifying the flow by making __ext4_new_inode() set
EXT4_INODE_ENCRYPT earlier.  This makes it take effect in
ext4_set_inode_flags(inode, init=true), making S_DAX never be set.

Similarly, make EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA never be set in the first
place on new encrypted inodes.  Then it doesn't need to be cleared.

As a result of these simplifications, ext4_set_context() no longer needs
to change inode flags or state when 'handle != NULL'.  Remove that too.
