From 67aded1da114dc44808315f249bd9e7e440f799d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hongling Zeng Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 13:58:44 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ntfs: fix race between fallocate and mmap reads The fallocate implementation only takes invalidate_lock for punch hole, collapse range, and insert range operations. For standard allocation modes (mode == 0, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE), the lock is not held. During ntfs_attr_fallocate(), new clusters are mapped to the runlist via ntfs_attr_map_cluster() before being zeroed by ntfs_dio_zero_range(). This creates a window where concurrent mmap page faults can read uninitialized disk data. Since mmap uses filemap_fault() which takes invalidate_lock in shared mode, it can fault in pages during this window and expose old disk contents to userspace. This is an information leak and data integrity issue. Fix by taking invalidate_lock for all fallocate operations, not just for punch/collapse/insert modes. This prevents concurrent page faults from accessing unzeroed clusters during the allocation window.
