Subject: btrfs: balance: fix potential bg lookup failure in chunk_usage_range_filter()
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7a308f6d29cc689ceaf313b9ebdf68099f50e452;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

btrfs: balance: fix potential bg lookup failure in chunk_usage_range_filter()

[BUG]
Running btrfs balance with a usage range filter (-dusage=min..max) can
trigger a null-ptr-deref when metadata corruption causes a chunk to have
no corresponding block group in the in-memory cache:

  KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000070-0x0000000000000077]

  Call Trace:

    btrfs_ioctl+0x25cf/0x5b90 fs/btrfs/ioctl.c:5313
    vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline]
    ...

The bug is reproducible on recent development branch.

[CAUSE]
Two separate data structures are involved:

1. The on-disk chunk tree, which records every chunk (logical address
   space region) and is iterated by __btrfs_balance().

2. The in-memory block group cache (fs_info->block_group_cache_tree),
   which is built at mount time by btrfs_read_block_groups() and holds
   a struct btrfs_block_group for each chunk. This cache is what the
   usage range filter queries.

On a well-formed filesystem, these two are kept in 1:1 correspondence.
However, btrfs_read_block_groups() builds the cache from block group
items in the extent tree, not directly from the chunk tree. A corrupted
image can therefore contain a chunk item in the chunk tree whose
corresponding block group item is absent from the extent tree; that
chunk's block group is then never inserted into the in-memory cache.

When balance iterates the chunk tree and reaches such an orphaned chunk,
should_balance_chunk() calls chunk_usage_range_filter(), which queries
the block group cache:

  cache = btrfs_lookup_block_group(fs_info, chunk_offset);
  chunk_used = cache->used;   /* cache may be NULL */

btrfs_lookup_block_group() returns NULL silently when no cached entry
covers chunk_offset. chunk_usage_range_filter() does not check the return
value, so the immediately following dereference of cache->used triggers
the crash.

[FIX]
Add a NULL check after btrfs_lookup_block_group() in
chunk_usage_range_filter(). When the lookup fails, emit a btrfs_err()
message identifying the affected bytenr and return -EUCLEAN to indicate
filesystem corruption.

Since chunk_usage_range_filter() now has an error path, change its
return type from bool to error pointer, return 0 if the chunk matches
the usage range, and 1 if it should be filtered out.
