From: Zhang Yi Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2025 08:52:53 +0000 (+0800) Subject: ext4: prevent stale extent cache entries caused by concurrent get es_cache X-Git-Tag: v6.16-rc1~139^2~37 X-Git-Url: https://git.kernel.dk/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f22a0ef2231a7d8374bb021eb86404d0e9de5a02;p=linux-block.git ext4: prevent stale extent cache entries caused by concurrent get es_cache The EXT4_IOC_GET_ES_CACHE and EXT4_IOC_PRECACHE_EXTENTS currently invokes ext4_ext_precache() to preload the extent cache without holding the inode's i_rwsem. This can result in stale extent cache entries when competing with operations such as ext4_collapse_range() which calls ext4_ext_remove_space() or ext4_ext_shift_extents(). The problem arises when ext4_ext_remove_space() temporarily releases i_data_sem due to insufficient journal credits. During this interval, a concurrent EXT4_IOC_GET_ES_CACHE or EXT4_IOC_PRECACHE_EXTENTS may cache extent entries that are about to be deleted. As a result, these cached entries become stale and inconsistent with the actual extents. Loading the extents cache without holding the inode's i_rwsem or the mapping's invalidate_lock is not permitted besides during the writeback. Fix this by holding the i_rwsem during EXT4_IOC_GET_ES_CACHE and EXT4_IOC_PRECACHE_EXTENTS.
