2026-08-18fs/ntfs3: validate ef->size covers the record's name and valueWeiming Shi
When an EA record has a non-zero ef->size, ntfs_read_ea() only checks that the record fits in the remaining buffer (ea_size > bytes), not that ef->size is large enough to hold the record's own name_len + 1 + elength. A crafted image can pass validation with, e.g., ef->size = 24 but elength = 0xffff. ntfs_get_ea() then trusts elength and copies it out of the undersized record, reading past the kmalloc(info->size) allocation and leaking heap memory to userspace via getxattr(): BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ntfs_get_ea (fs/ntfs3/xattr.c:302) Read of size 65535 at addr ffff888100794550 by task exploit __asan_memcpy (mm/kasan/shadow.c:105) ntfs_get_ea (fs/ntfs3/xattr.c:302) ntfs_getxattr (fs/ntfs3/xattr.c:848) __vfs_getxattr (fs/xattr.c:441) vfs_getxattr (fs/xattr.c:474) do_getxattr (fs/xattr.c:800) path_getxattrat (fs/xattr.c:868) do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94) The buggy address is located 80 bytes inside of allocated 84-byte region in cache kmalloc-96 Compute the size the record needs and require ef->size to cover it.

2026-08-18fs/ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read in read_log_rec_buf()Konstantin Komarov
read_log_rec_buf() copies a log record into a caller buffer starting at u32 off = lsn_to_page_off(log, lsn) + log->record_header_len; log->record_header_len (and log->data_off, used for the following pages) comes verbatim from the on-disk restart area and is only checked for 8-byte alignment in is_rst_area_valid(), so off can exceed log->page_size. "tail = log->page_size - off" then underflows and memcpy() reads past the page_size-sized buffer returned by read_log_page(), spilling adjacent slab memory into the replay buffer.

The open-coded check for a count below zero as the dead marker relies on information the caller should not have. - make put_mnt_ns() leave mounts connected. Destroying a mount namespace disconnected its mounts from their mount points. So a file descriptor still open on the parent of a mount point could be used to peek under it. Locked mounts were already kept connected to prevent exactly that. But a mount is only locked when its tree is copied across a user namespace boundary. So a mount namespace set up by a privileged component had no locked mounts and its mounts were disconnected. Passing UMOUNT_CONNECTED keeps every mount connected and prevents that bug. - vfs_prepare_mode() passes S_IFDIR for directories. I meant to fix that ago but didn't get to it. So now someone finally did it. This kills the exception where the mode could be 0 when a directory was created whereas every other creation operation passed it explicitly already. - move long delayed work for ufs, jffs2, hfsplus, hfs and affs from the per-cpu system_long_wq to the new unbound system_dfl_long_wq.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull iomap updates from Christian Brauner: "The bulk of this is the conversion of iomap to a single ->iomap_next() callback and thus finishing the move to an iterator model. Every iomap operation drove its iteration through a struct iomap_ops holding ->iomap_begin() and ->iomap_end(). iomap_iter() only ever sees those as pointers. That means every step of every iteration is an indirect call. This collapses both into one ->iomap_next() callback that finishes the previous mapping and produces the next one. This lets callers inline the iteration loop and pass its ->iomap_next() as a compile time constant. That means the compiler can turn it into a direct and hence inlineable call. This also allows future callers to express custom logic to drive the iteration forward better. xfs, btrfs, ext4, ext2, erofs, f2fs, gfs2, hpfs, fuse, exfat, zonefs, ntfs, ntfs3 and the block device mapping are all converted. No functional changes are intended. This also adds a simple direct I/O path for small reads. On Gen5 NVMe the __iomap_dio_rw() dominates 4K random reads. The same single-core io_uring poll mode workload reaches ~3.2M IOPS against the raw block device but only ~1.92M through ext4 or XFS. __iomap_dio_rw(), iomap_iter(), iomap_dio_bio_iter() and kfree() were at the top of the profile. The new path is very lightweight if no special behavior is requested. The bio comes from a dedicated bioset and laid out so the whole request is a single cacheline aligned allocation. Completion runs inline. That takes ext4 from 1.92M to 2.19M IOPS in the original workload. fio shows around: - 4% at libaio queue depths of 64 and up - around 5% for io_uring - up to 10% for io_uring poll mode at depth 256 on both ext4 and xfs.

2026-08-14fs/ntfs3: reject out-of-range evcn in mi_enum_attr()Zhan Xusheng
In mi_enum_attr(), the start/end VCN validation for non-resident attributes is: if (svcn > evcn + 1) goto out; When evcn is U64_MAX the "evcn + 1" expression wraps to 0 and any svcn passes the check. For evcn values close to U64_MAX (but not equal to it) the right-hand side is still a meaningless near-wrap upper bound, so a malformed on-disk attribute with svcn == 0 and evcn near U64_MAX can pass mi_enum_attr() unrejected. VCN (virtual cluster number) is a cluster index, so any valid evcn is bounded by the volume's total cluster count, which ntfs3 holds in sbi->used.bitmap.nbits (set up in ntfs_init_from_boot() before any caller of mi_enum_attr() runs). Reject evcn values that fall outside this range. However, an empty non-resident attribute (no allocated clusters) is legitimately encoded with svcn == 0 and evcn == -1 (U64_MAX), e.g. via attr->nres.evcn = cpu_to_le64((u64)vcn - 1) with vcn == 0. That sentinel must keep passing, so exclude evcn == U64_MAX from the range check. The existing "svcn > evcn + 1" test still tolerates the sentinel ("0 > 0" is false) and continues to require svcn == 0 for it, while the range check rejects every other out-of-range evcn and thereby also defuses the "evcn + 1" wraparound. svcn does not need its own bound: once evcn < nbits, "svcn > evcn + 1" implies svcn <= nbits.

2026-08-14fs/ntfs3: fix integer overflow in MFT cluster validationZhan Xusheng
In ntfs_init_from_boot(), the boot sector's MFT cluster numbers are validated against the volume size with: if (mlcn * sct_per_clst >= sectors || mlcn2 * sct_per_clst >= sectors) goto out; mlcn and mlcn2 are u64 fields read directly from the boot sector. sct_per_clst is bounded above by 4096 (true_sectors_per_clst() plus the is_power_of_2() check below it), but the multiplication is done in u64 and wraps when mlcn (or mlcn2) is large enough -- e.g. mlcn near 2^62 with sct_per_clst == 4 wraps to 0, which compares below any non-zero 'sectors', so the check is bypassed and the malformed record is accepted. The accepted mlcn is then used unchanged in sbi->mft.lbo = mlcn << cluster_bits; In practice the resulting reads fail at the block layer (sb_bread() returns NULL via grow_buffers()'s check_mul_overflow() guard), so today this manifests as mount failing in odd places rather than as something more dangerous, but the validation step is still wrong and there is no reason for callers to rely on the block layer to catch a value that should never have been accepted in the first place. Use check_mul_overflow() to compute the two sector positions and fail the mount if either multiplication wraps; this preserves the existing semantics (mlcn * sct_per_clst >= sectors) instead of switching to division (mlcn >= sectors / sct_per_clst), which would tighten the check at edge cases where 'sectors' is not a multiple of sct_per_clst. The check_*_overflow() style is the one ntfs3 already uses for similar on-disk arithmetic in fs/ntfs3/run.c.

2026-07-30fs/ntfs3: Add basic support for alternative data streamsKonstantin Komarov
An ADS (alternative data stream) is a named $DATA (0x80) attribute. Until now ntfs3 ignored named data attributes entirely, so the only stream reachable from userspace was the unnamed one. Introduce a colon-delimited name syntax so streams can be reached through the regular VFS interfaces. ntfs_nls_to_utf16() now splits a lookup name at ':' and stores the stream part in cpu_str::ads_len (the previously unused padding byte). ntfs_iget5_flags() first instantiates the base inode, then allocates a second inode whose ->base points at it and whose ->file.ads holds the stream name. ntfs_test_inode() compares the stream name as well as the MFT reference, so base and streams get distinct inodes for the same record. Because the MFT record belongs to the base inode, the many helpers in frecord.c and attrlist.c that operate on the record redirect to ni->base, and ni_lock() and friends take the base inode's mutex. The attrib.c paths that used to hardcode an unnamed $DATA lookup now pass ni->file.ads.{name,len}. ni_write_inode() and ni_write_parents() are no-ops for stream inodes, and ntfs_setattr() drops ATTR_SIZE for them. Usage, for a file with streams 'ads1' and 'ads2': cat file:query_streams - list stream names, one per line cat file:ads1 - read a stream touch file:ads3 - create a stream on an existing file rm file:ads1 - remove a stream The pseudo-stream 'query_streams' is handled in ntfs_file_read_iter() via ni_query_ads(), which enumerates named $DATA attributes and returns their names separated by '\n'. The feature is controlled by the new 'ads' mount option, enabled by default; mount with 'ads=0' to restore the previous behaviour.

2026-07-29fs/ntfs3: bound page_lcns[] index by the log recordKonstantin Komarov
The copy_lcns loop and the redo shorten loop index page_lcns[] at j + i, where i runs up to the log record's lcns_follow. That count is checked only against the record's own length, not the target entry, so check_dp_table() (which validates the entry's lcns_follow) does not cover it: the copy_lcns entry may even be freshly allocated after that check, and find_dp() bounds j but not i. A crafted record thus overflows page_lcns[] of an otherwise valid entry. Add dp_range_ok() and reject, before each loop, any record whose run does not fit the entry. These are the only two page_lcns[] accesses indexed by the record rather than the entry, so together with the entry validation every access is now bounded.

2026-07-29fs/ntfs3: validate dirty page table on log replayXiang Mei
Each DIR_PAGE_ENTRY ends in a page_lcns[] array whose length is the on-disk lcns_follow field. check_rstbl() validates the table bookkeeping but never checks that this array fits in the entry, so a crafted lcns_follow lets the v0->v1 conversion memmove and later replay passes run off the entry. Add check_dp_table() to reject, right after check_rstbl(), any entry larger than its size claims via struct_size() (the same expression used to allocate these entries, so the check is overflow-safe by construction). All consumers can then trust lcns_follow as the real capacity. This covers every page_lcns[] access whose index is bounded by the entry itself (the conversion memmove, the HotFix store via find_dp(), and the self-bounded scan loops). Accesses whose index comes from the log record need a separate bound and are handled in a follow-up patch.

2026-07-28fs/ntfs3: reject restart table growth beyond U16_MAX entriesWeiming Shi
During $LogFile replay, log_replay() indexes the transaction table by the transact_id taken from the log record header. check_log_rec() only verifies that transact_id is non-zero and properly aligned, not its magnitude, so a crafted image can request an arbitrarily large index. alloc_rsttbl_from_idx() grows the table to cover that index via extend_rsttbl(), which passes the new entry count to init_rsttbl(): rt = init_rsttbl(esize, used + add); used + add is computed as u32 but init_rsttbl() takes a u16, and the count is stored in struct RESTART_TABLE as a __le16. When used + add exceeds U16_MAX it is truncated, init_rsttbl() allocates a table far smaller than the index requires, and alloc_rsttbl_from_idx() then dereferences and writes at the original, untruncated offset -- an out-of-bounds access past the allocation, reachable by mounting a crafted NTFS image.

2026-07-28fs/ntfs3: fix info-leak on partial LZNT decompress in ni_read_frame()Samuel Page
ni_read_frame() decompresses an LZNT $DATA frame into the vmapped target pages and then trusts decompress_lznt()'s return value: unc_size = decompress_lznt(frame_ondisk, ondisk_size, frame_mem, frame_size); if ((ssize_t)unc_size < 0) err = unc_size; else if (!unc_size || unc_size > frame_size) err = -EINVAL; decompress_lznt() stops as soon as the compressed stream is exhausted (e.g. a zero chunk header) and returns the number of bytes it actually wrote, which may be far less than frame_size. The bytes between unc_size and frame_size are never written. The only memset() that follows zeroes the region beyond i_valid; when the frame lies entirely within the file's valid size that memset() does not run, so the gap retains whatever was in the just-vmapped pages. All pages are then marked uptodate and returned to userspace, disclosing uninitialized (recently-freed) kernel page memory.

2026-07-24fs/ntfs3: reserve NUL byte when converting UTF-16 namesKyle Zeng
ntfs_utf16_to_nls() appends a trailing NUL to the converted output, but it passes the caller-supplied size directly to the conversion loop. For the UTF-8 path, utf16s_to_utf8s() can legitimately fill all buf_len bytes and return buf_len, after which ntfs_utf16_to_nls() writes the terminator one byte past the end of the destination buffer. The same contract problem exists for the NLS path when a converted character consumes the last available byte. Reserve one byte for the terminator before doing either conversion. The function continues to return the number of converted bytes, excluding the NUL terminator.

2026-07-24fs/ntfs3: fix lseek EINVAL on sparse/compressed files with 64-bit clustersSenjin
When CONFIG_NTFS3_64BIT_CLUSTER is enabled, sbi->maxbytes_sparse is set to -1. As a signed loff_t this is -1LL, the most negative value. Any lseek on a sparse or compressed file passes this as maxsize to vfs_setpos(), which returns -EINVAL whenever offset > maxsize, and since -1LL is less than any non-negative offset, every seek fails, including lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET). The intent of -1 here appears to be "no limit" (matching the spirit of MAX_LFS_FILESIZE assigned to sbi->maxbytes and sb->s_maxbytes in the same block), but the signed type makes it the minimum instead of the maximum. Fix by assigning MAX_LFS_FILESIZE to sbi->maxbytes_sparse in the 64-bit cluster path, consistent with the other two limits set there. Observed on a 16 TB NTFS volume with 0xFFFFFEFF total clusters compiled with CONFIG_NTFS3_64BIT_CLUSTER=y. Sequential reads via dd/cp worked correctly; any lseek call on sparse files returned EINVAL, preventing archive managers and other tools from random-accessing files on the volume. The non-64-bit-cluster path correctly sets maxbytes_sparse to (1ull << (cluster_bits + 32)) - 1, a large positive value.

2026-07-24fs/ntfs3: load ATTR_BITMAP run extents from $MFT extension recordsKonstantin Komarov
When $MFT's ATTR_BITMAP attribute is heavily fragmented, its run list can span multiple MFT extension records (attribute list entries with vcn > 0). The non-primary segment handler in ntfs_read_mft() only processed ATTR_DATA extension segments for MFT_REC_MFT, silently skipping any ATTR_BITMAP segments. This left sbi->mft.bitmap.run incomplete, causing wnd_init() to fail with -ENOENT when wnd_rescan() tried to look up a VCN not covered by the truncated run list. Observed on a 16 TB NTFS volume (0xFFFFFEFF total clusters) whose MFT bitmap run list was split across 97 extents in extension records. wnd_rescan() successfully looked up VCNs 0-122 from the runs loaded from the base record, then failed at VCN 123 (the last cluster of the bitmap) whose run was only present in an extension record. Fix by extending the MFT_REC_MFT special case to also handle ATTR_BITMAP extension segments, storing their runs into sbi->mft.bitmap.run the same way the primary segment does.

2026-07-24ntfs3: fix info-leak in ntfs_rename()Konstantin Komarov
Hard to say about copy_to_user_iter(), but at least the first splat looks correct. At the end of fill_name_de(), data layout is: struct NTFS_DE *e = buf; ... |<- data_size + sizeof(struct NTFS_DE) ->|<- XXX ->| buf |----------------------------------------------------------- |<- ALIGN(data_size, 8) + sizeof(struct NTFS_DE) ->| ;; e->size If 'buf' was allocated with kmalloc(), XXX remains uninitialized and passed as such to memcpy() called from hdr_insert_de(). So using kzalloc() for all buffers passed to fill_name_de() looks the simplest and most safe solution. OTOH if someone would have said that an overhead of PAGE_SIZE'd memset() is too large, more fine-granted solution is to memset() XXX only.

2026-07-24fs/ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read of INDEX_ROOT in reparse/objid initWeiming Wu
ntfs_reparse_init() and ntfs_objid_init() parse the index root of the $Extend/$Reparse and $Extend/$ObjId metafiles (the INDEX_ROOT attributes named $R and $O). They read its type and rule fields through resident_data(), which does not check that the resident attribute is large enough to hold them. mi_enum_attr() accepts a resident attribute with data_off == asize and data_size == 0. For such an attribute placed last in its MFT record, resident_data() returns a pointer to the end of the record_size buffer, so reading root->type / root->rule reads past the allocation. Use resident_data_ex(attr, sizeof(struct INDEX_ROOT)) and bail out when it returns NULL, as ntfs_security_init() already does for $SDH / $SII. The attribute is only parsed while mounting a crafted image, so this needs CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

2026-07-14fs/ntfs3: fix slab-out-of-bounds write in ni_create_attr_list()HE WEI(ギカク)
ni_create_attr_list() allocates a fixed buffer of al_aligned(record_size) (== record_size) bytes and then walks every attribute of the primary MFT record, writing one ATTR_LIST_ENTRY per attribute and advancing the cursor by le_size(name_len), with no check against the end of the buffer; the total size is only computed after the loop. A minimum-size resident attribute occupies SIZEOF_RESIDENT (0x18 = 24) bytes on disk, but an unnamed attribute expands to le_size(0) (0x20 = 32) bytes in the list. Because the number of attributes in a record is not bounded (mi_enum_attr() accepts arbitrarily many equal-type, nameless minimum-size attributes), a crafted record packed with such attributes produces a list larger than record_size and overflows the heap buffer. This is reachable from a crafted, loop-mounted NTFS image: opening the file and adding an attribute (e.g. via setxattr) drives ntfs_set_ea() -> ni_insert_resident() -> ni_insert_attr() -> ni_ins_attr_ext() -> ni_create_attr_list().

Right now that logic is mostly trivial, but already has a bug for XFS because the XFS version is too trivial: file system integrity validation needs a workqueue context and thus can't happen from the default iomap bi_end_io I/O handler. Unfortunately the iomap refactoring just before fs integrity landed moved code around here and the call go misplaced, meaning it never got called.

The allocation can sleep doing direct reclaim and runs memcg charging, which extends the critical section and stalls any concurrent reader on the same mutex. Now up to 8 pages are pre-allocated before the mutex is taken, leftovers are recycled into the per-pipe tmp_page[] cache before unlock, and any remainder is released after unlock, keeping the allocator out of the critical section on both sides. On a writers x readers sweep with 64KB writes against a 1 MB pipe throughput improves 6-28% and average write latency drops 5-22%; under memory pressure - when the cost of holding the mutex across reclaim is highest - throughput improves 21-48% and latency drops 17-33%. The microbenchmark is added to selftests. - uaccess/sockptr: fix the ignored_trailing logic in copy_struct_to_user() to behave as documented and the usize check in copy_struct_from_sockptr() for user pointers, and add copy_struct_{from,to}_bounce_buffer() and copy_struct_to_sockptr() helpers for upcoming users (IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT, IPPROTO_QUIC). - bpf: add a sleepable bpf_real_inode() kfunc that resolves the real inode backing a dentry via d_real_inode(). On overlayfs the inode attached to the dentry doesn't carry the underlying device information; this is used by the filesystem restriction BPF program that was merged into systemd. - docs: add guidelines for submitting new filesystems, motivated by the maintenance burden abandoned and untestable filesystems impose on VFS developers, blocking infrastructure work like folio conversions and iomap migration. Fixes: - libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo() and drop the now-redundant assignments in callers. This began as a one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning; a pseudo filesystem has no reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC. All init_pseudo() callers were audited: the only visible effect is on dma-buf where SB_I_NOEXEC silences the warning. - Handle set_blocksize() failures in legacy filesystems (bfs, hpfs, qnx4, jfs, befs, affs, isofs, minix, ntfs3, omfs).

2026-06-10fs/ntfs3: resize log->one_page_buf when adopting on-disk page sizeJamie Nguyen
log_replay() allocates log->one_page_buf using the page size that was chosen from the host PAGE_SIZE: log->one_page_buf = kmalloc(log->page_size, GFP_NOFS); Later, when a restart area is found, the log page size recorded on disk is adopted: t32 = le32_to_cpu(log->rst_info.r_page->sys_page_size); if (log->page_size != t32) { log->l_size = log->orig_file_size; log->page_size = norm_file_page(t32, &log->l_size, t32 == DefaultLogPageSize); } If the on-disk page size is larger than the size used for the initial allocation, log->page_size grows but one_page_buf is left at its original, smaller size. A subsequent unaligned read_log_page() then reads log->page_size bytes into the undersized scratch buffer: page_buf = page_off ? log->one_page_buf : *buffer; err = ntfs_read_run_nb_ra(ni->mi.sbi, &ni->file.run, page_vbo, page_buf, log->page_size, NULL, &log->read_ahead); overflowing the allocation. This is reachable when mounting a dirty NTFS volume whose log was formatted with a page size larger than the buffer initially allocated on the mounting host (for example a 64K-log volume mounted on a host that allocated a 4K scratch buffer). Grow one_page_buf when the adopted on-disk page size exceeds the size used for the initial allocation. On krealloc() failure the original buffer is left intact and freed by the existing error path.

2026-06-09ntfs3: cap RESTART_TABLE free-chain walker at rt->usedMichael Bommarito
A crafted NTFS3 disk image triggers an in-kernel infinite loop at mount time, hanging the mounting thread and firing the soft-lockup watchdog within ~22s on multi-CPU hosts (panic with kernel.softlockup_panic=1). The bug is reachable from desktop USB auto-mount on distributions where udisks2 routes the NTFS signature to the in-tree ntfs3 driver (Arch family and an increasing fraction of Fedora / openSUSE / RHEL deployments); CAP_SYS_ADMIN-class manual mount elsewhere. check_rstbl()'s second walker iterates the free-entry singly-linked list headed by rt->first_free with no upper bound on iteration count: for (off = ff; off;) { if (off == RESTART_ENTRY_ALLOCATED) return false; off = le32_to_cpu(*(__le32 *)Add2Ptr(rt, off)); if (off > ts - sizeof(__le32)) return false; } The existing guards cover three exits: end-of-list (off == 0), the in-use marker (off == RESTART_ENTRY_ALLOCATED), and out-of-bounds (off > ts - sizeof(__le32)). None of the three prevents an in-bounds cycle. A crafted on-disk RESTART_TABLE whose free chain contains a self-loop or A->B->A cycle whose offsets satisfy: - in range [sizeof(struct RESTART_TABLE), ts - sizeof(__le32)] - (off - sizeof(struct RESTART_TABLE)) % rsize == 0 passes all existing guards and spins the mount-time thread forever. Reproduced in UML by hand-forging a 2 MB NTFS3 image whose journal RESTART_TABLE first_free = 0x18 and whose entry at offset 0x18 stores 0x18 as its next pointer; mount of the forged image with the in-tree ntfs3 driver never returns. Bound the walker by rt->used. Each entry on a legitimate free chain is unique, and the total slot count is ne = le16_to_cpu (rt->used). A traversal that visits more than ne slots is by construction malformed; reject it as a corrupt RESTART_TABLE. After this patch, mount of the forged image returns with -EINVAL and a log_replay failure message, and mkntfs-produced legitimate images mount cleanly (verified in the same UML harness).

2026-06-09fs/ntfs3: bound NTFS_DE view.data_off in UpdateRecordData{Root,Allocation}Michael Bommarito
In do_action()'s UpdateRecordDataRoot (fslog.c:3489) and UpdateRecordDataAllocation (fslog.c:3697) cases, the memmove destination is `Add2Ptr(e, le16_to_cpu(e->view.data_off))`, where e->view.data_off comes from an on-disk NTFS_DE inside an INDEX_ROOT or INDEX_BUFFER. Neither case validates view.data_off + dlen against e->size; the existing check_if_index_root / check_if_alloc_index helpers walk the entry chain and validate the entry's offset, but not its internal view fields. The neighbouring read sites (e.g., fs/ntfs3/index.c when iterating view entries) check view.data_off + view.data_size <= e->size. Apply the same bound at the two memmove sites. Reproduced under UML+KASAN on mainline 8d90b09e6741 via pr_warn-only probe instrumentation: with view.data_off forced to 0xFFFC, the memmove writes 32 bytes past the end of the NTFS_DE. This is similar in shape to Pavitra Jha's 2026-05-02 patch "fs/ntfs3: prevent oob in case UpdateRecordDataRoot" (<20260502105008.21827-1-jhapavitra98@gmail.com>) which proposes calling ntfs3_bad_de_range(); that helper does not exist in mainline.

2026-06-03fs/ntfs3: validate lcns_follow in log_replay conversionKonstantin Komarov
log_replay() converts DIR_PAGE_ENTRY_32 records into DIR_PAGE_ENTRY records when replaying version 0 restart tables. During this conversion, the memmove() length is derived directly from the on-disk lcns_follow field: memmove(&dp->vcn, &dp0->vcn_low, 2 * sizeof(u64) + le32_to_cpu(dp->lcns_follow) * sizeof(u64)); check_rstbl() validates restart table structure, but does not constrain per-entry lcns_follow values relative to the entry size. A malformed filesystem image can provide an oversized lcns_follow value, causing the conversion memmove() to access memory beyond the bounds of the allocated restart table buffer. The same field is later used to bound iteration over page_lcns[], so validating lcns_follow during conversion also prevents downstream out-of-bounds access from the same malformed metadata. Compute the maximum valid lcns_follow from the already-validated restart table entry size and reject entries that exceed this bound. Reuse the existing t16/t32 scratch variables already declared in log_replay() to avoid introducing new declarations.

2026-06-03fs/ntfs3: bound copy_lcns dp->page_lcns[] index in analysis passMichael Bommarito
In log_replay()'s analysis pass, after find_dp() returns a valid DIR_PAGE_ENTRY for the (target_attr, target_vcn) tuple, the copy_lcns block walks lrh->lcns_follow further entries: t16 = le16_to_cpu(lrh->lcns_follow); for (i = 0; i < t16; i++) { size_t j = (size_t)(le64_to_cpu(lrh->target_vcn) - le64_to_cpu(dp->vcn)); dp->page_lcns[j + i] = lrh->page_lcns[i]; } find_dp() only validates that target_vcn falls within [dp->vcn, dp->vcn + dp->lcns_follow), i.e., that the FIRST cluster is covered. The walk through the further entries is not bounded against dp->lcns_follow. For a malformed LRH where target_vcn = dp->vcn + dp->lcns_follow - 1 and lrh->lcns_follow > 1, the i > 0 writes overflow the dp's allocated page_lcns[] array. Add the missing j + lrh->lcns_follow <= dp->lcns_follow guard. Reproduced under UML+KASAN on mainline 8d90b09e6741 as a slab-out-of-bounds write of size 8 from log_replay+0x68d4 on the mount path. This is distinct from Pavitra Jha's 2026-05-02 patch ("fs/ntfs3: validate lcns_follow in log_replay conversion", <20260502154252.164586-1-jhapavitra98@gmail.com>) which addresses the separate version-0 dirty-page-table conversion path's memmove(&dp->vcn, ...) call.

2026-06-03fs/ntfs3: bound DeleteIndexEntryAllocation memmove lengthKonstantin Komarov
In do_action()'s DeleteIndexEntryAllocation case, e->size comes from an on-disk INDEX_BUFFER entry. When e->size makes e + e->size point past hdr + hdr->used, PtrOffset(e1, Add2Ptr(hdr, used)) returns a negative ptrdiff_t that is silently cast to a quasi-infinite size_t when passed to memmove(). The memmove then walks past the destination buffer. The sibling DeleteIndexEntryRoot case at fslog.c:3540-3543 already carries the corresponding guard: if (PtrOffset(e1, Add2Ptr(hdr, used)) < esize || Add2Ptr(e, esize) > Add2Ptr(lrh, rec_len) || used + esize > le32_to_cpu(hdr->total)) { goto dirty_vol; } Apply the same shape to the allocation-path case. Also reject esize == 0: memmove(e, e, ...) is a no-op and leaves hdr->used unchanged, hiding a malformed entry from the existing check_index_header() walk. Reproduced under UML+KASAN on mainline 8d90b09e6741 by mounting a crafted NTFS image: the unguarded memmove takes a length of 0xffffffffffffff00 and the kernel oopses in memmove+0x81/0x1a0 on the do_action+0x36a2 frame.

2026-06-03fs/ntfs3: bound attr_off in UpdateResidentValue against data_offKonstantin Komarov
In do_action()'s UpdateResidentValue case (fslog.c:3307), lrh->attr_off and lrh->redo_len come from the on-disk LRH. When they satisfy aoff + dlen < attr->res.data_off, the assignment attr->res.data_size = cpu_to_le32(aoff + dlen - data_off); underflows to ~4 GiB (e.g. 0xFFFFFFF9 when aoff=0x10, dlen=1, data_off=0x18). Subsequent code that reads attr->res.data_size to walk the resident attribute payload would then read up to 4 GiB past the 1024-byte MFT record allocation. The existing mi_enum_attr() defense in fs/ntfs3/record.c:287 catches the corrupted data_size on the next attribute walk and fails the mount, but only on the path that walks all attributes. A read site that picks an attribute by name and reads its data_size without re-validating is not covered. Validate aoff against data_off and asize at the source. Reproduced under UML+KASAN on mainline 8d90b09e6741 via pr_warn-only probe: with aoff=0x10 and data_off=0x18, the post-assignment data_size is 0xfffffff9 (mount then fails at -22 from mi_enum_attr).

2026-06-02ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read in ntfs_dir_emit() and hdr_find_e()Alessandro Schino
The bounds check in ntfs_dir_emit() compares fname->name_len (a character count) against e->size (a byte count) without accounting for the 2-byte-per-character UTF-16LE encoding or the ATTR_FILE_NAME header size: if (fname->name_len + sizeof(struct NTFS_DE) > le16_to_cpu(e->size)) This computes: name_len + 16 > e_size The correct check must account for the ATTR_FILE_NAME header (66 bytes before the name) and the UTF-16LE character size (2 bytes each): sizeof(NTFS_DE) + offsetof(ATTR_FILE_NAME, name) + name_len * sizeof(short) > e_size Which computes: 16 + 66 + name_len * 2 > e_size The correct calculation already exists as fname_full_size() in ntfs.h and is used in cmp_fnames(), namei.c, and fslog.c, but was not used in the readdir path. A crafted NTFS image with an index entry containing a small e->size but large fname->name_len bypasses the current check, causing ntfs_utf16_to_nls() to read past the entry boundary. Additionally, add a key_size validation in hdr_find_e() to ensure the declared key_size does not exceed the available entry data, preventing comparison functions from reading past entry boundaries on the lookup path.

2026-06-02fs/ntfs3: fix mount failure on 64K page-size kernelsJamie Nguyen
On 64K page-size kernels, mounting NTFS volumes smaller than ~650 MB fails with EINVAL. The issue is in log_replay(): the initial log page size probe uses PAGE_SIZE (65536) instead of DefaultLogPageSize (4096) when PAGE_SIZE exceeds DefaultLogPageSize * 2. This makes norm_file_page() require the $LogFile to be at least 50 * 65536 = 3.2 MB, but mkfs.ntfs creates a $LogFile of only ~1.5 MB for a typical 300 MB volume. norm_file_page() returns 0 and the mount is rejected with EINVAL. On 4K kernels the #if guard evaluates to true, so use_default=true is passed and DefaultLogPageSize (4096) is used, requiring only ~200 KB. This path works fine. Fix this by always passing use_default=true, which forces the initial probe to use DefaultLogPageSize regardless of the kernel's PAGE_SIZE. This is safe because, after reading the on-disk restart area, log_replay() already re-adjusts log->page_size to match the volume's actual sys_page_size. Also fix read_log_page() to pass log->page_size instead of PAGE_SIZE to ntfs_fix_post_read(), matching the actual buffer size. Fixes: b46acd6a6a62 ("fs/ntfs3: Add NTFS journal") Tested-by: Matthew R.
