From 16fcb1c446f17c11c104bd4e631b841946d180aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karl Mehltretter Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2026 06:51:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ntfs: fix kunmap_local() of advanced pointers in check_mft_mirror() check_mft_mirror() compares the mft records of a page with the mirror records by advancing kmft and kmirr by the record size for every record. It then passes the advanced pointers to kunmap_local(). After the last record of a page they point one page past the mapping. With HIGHMEM kunmap_local() warns that the address does not match the top of the kmap_local stack. What it does next depends on how the architecture finds the page table entry: - 32-bit ARM looks the entry up by that address. It clears the entry of the neighbouring fixmap slot and leaves the real mapping in place. The next kmap_local() on that CPU that reaches the slot hits the BUG_ON(!pte_none()) in __kmap_local_pfn_prot(). - x86-32 takes the entry from the stack index, so the wrong address does not select a wrong entry. In QEMU the mount carried on after the warning. With 4 KiB pages and 1 KiB mft records the four mirror records fill exactly one page, so every mount whose $MFT and $MFTMirr folios are in highmem hits it. A fresh mkntfs volume on 32-bit ARM (multi_v7_defconfig, 256 MiB of highmem) fails on the first mount: WARNING: mm/highmem.c:623 at kunmap_local_indexed+0x254/0x26c, CPU#1: mount/85 kunmap_local_indexed from ntfs_fill_super+0x224c/0x35a0 ntfs_fill_super from get_tree_bdev_flags+0x1d8/0x2a4 ntfs: volume version 3.1, dev loop0, cluster size 4096 kernel BUG at mm/highmem.c:565!

Kernels without HIGHMEM do not show it. kmap_local_folio() returns the direct map address there and kunmap_local() has no mapping to remove. Keep the addresses returned by kmap_local_folio() and unmap with those.
