[PATCH] nilfs2: fix general protection fault in nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers()
Posted by Ryusuke Konishi 2 years, 1 month ago
A syzbot stress test reported that create_empty_buffers() called from
nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() can cause a general protection fault.

Analysis using its reproducer revealed that the back reference "mapping"
from a page/folio has been changed to NULL after dirty page/folio gang
lookup in nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers().

Fix this issue by excluding pages/folios from being collected if, after
acquiring a lock on each page/folio, its back reference "mapping"
differs from the pointer to the address space struct that held the
page/folio.
