For large_nat_bitmap feature, there is a design flaw: Previous: struct f2fs_checkpoint layout: +--------------------------+ 0x0000 | checkpoint_ver | | ...... | | checksum_offset |------+ | ...... | | | sit_nat_version_bitmap[] |<-----|-------+ | ...... | | | | checksum_value |<-----+ | +--------------------------+ 0x1000 | | | nat_bitmap + sit_bitmap | payload blocks | | | | | +--------------------------|<-------------+ Obviously, if nat_bitmap size + sit_bitmap size is larger than MAX_BITMAP_SIZE_IN_CKPT, nat_bitmap or sit_bitmap may overlap checkpoint checksum's position, once checkpoint() is triggered from kernel, nat or sit bitmap will be damaged by checksum field. In order to fix this, let's relocate checksum_value's position to the head of sit_nat_version_bitmap as below, then nat/sit bitmap and chksum value update will become safe. After: struct f2fs_checkpoint layout: +--------------------------+ 0x0000 | checkpoint_ver | | ...... | | checksum_offset |------+ | ...... | | | sit_nat_version_bitmap[] |<-----+ | ...... |<-------------+ | | | +--------------------------+ 0x1000 | | | nat_bitmap + sit_bitmap | payload blocks | | | | | +--------------------------|<-------------+ Related report and discussion: https://sourceforge.net/p/linux-f2fs/mailman/message/36642346/ Reported-by: Park Ju Hyung <qkrwngud825@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Chao Yu <yuchao0@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
