[PATCH 6.1] erofs: Fix the slab-out-of-bounds in drop_buffers()

From: Denis Arefev

Date: Mon Mar 23 2026 - 04:52:36 EST


No upstream commit exists for this patch.

Syzbot reported that a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds bug was discovered in
the drop_buffers() function [1].

The root cause is that erofs_raw_access_aops does not define .release_folio
and .invalidate_folio. When using iomap-based operations, folio->private
may contain iomap-specific data rather than buffer_heads. Without special
handlers, the kernel may fall back to generic functions (such as
drop_buffers), which incorrectly treat folio->private as a list of
buffer_head structures, leading to incorrect memory interpretation and
out-of-bounds access.

Fix this by explicitly setting .release_folio and .invalidate_folio to the
values of iomap_release_folio and iomap_invalidate_folio, respectively.
