From c0337e331b065074ce20e4258a578e07dd7e4083 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chao Yu Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 22:11:26 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: compress: fix to handle race between truncate and writeback fsstress reports a kernel BUG in f2fs_truncate_partial_cluster(): kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/compress.c:1238! RIP: 0010:f2fs_truncate_partial_cluster+0x292/0x2a0 Call Trace: f2fs_truncate+0xf6/0x210 f2fs_setattr+0x6b7/0x770 notify_change+0x33b/0x520 do_truncate+0xc2/0xf0 vfs_truncate+0x153/0x1d0 ksys_truncate+0x78/0xd0 __x64_sys_truncate+0x16/0x20 do_syscall_64+0xbe/0x540 The root cause is that Thread A (truncate) and Thread B (background writeback or fsync) can race as follows: Thread A Thread B - f2fs_setattr - f2fs_truncate - f2fs_truncate_blocks - f2fs_truncate_partial_cluster - f2fs_is_compressed_cluster return 1 - f2fs_write_cache_pages - f2fs_write_multi_pages - f2fs_write_raw_pages - f2fs_write_single_data_page dn.data_blkaddr != COMPRESS_ADDR (cluster converted to normal) - f2fs_prepare_compress_overwrite - f2fs_is_compressed_cluster return 0 - return 0 - f2fs_bug_on(sbi, err == 0): BUG! Writeback path does not acquire i_gc_rwsem or filemap_invalidate_lock. When a compressed cluster fails compression during writeback, it is overwritten with raw data blocks. If Thread A checked f2fs_is_compressed_cluster() before the conversion, but calls f2fs_prepare_compress_overwrite() after the conversion, f2fs_prepare_compress_overwrite() returns 0 because the cluster is no longer a compressed cluster. To fix this, remove the f2fs_bug_on() and retry checking the cluster status when f2fs_prepare_compress_overwrite() returns 0, so that it can fall back to f2fs_do_truncate_blocks() to handle it as a normal cluster.
