[PATCH] ocfs2: validate chunk and block counts of the local quota file

From: Nguyen Ngoc Thang

Date: Sun Sep 20 2026 - 10:07:24 EST


ocfs2_local_read_info() trusts dqi_chunks and dqi_blocks from the local
quota file header. If dqi_blocks is too small,
ocfs2_extend_local_quota_file() computes a bogus chunk length, extends the
file, and maps logical block dqi_blocks, which is already in the inode's
metadata cache (the header or a chunk header read at mount). sb_getblk()
returns that cached buffer and ocfs2_set_new_buffer_uptodate() hits
BUG_ON(ocfs2_buffer_cached()):

kernel BUG at fs/ocfs2/uptodate.c:509!
ocfs2_extend_local_quota_file+0x45c/0x1100
ocfs2_create_local_dquot+0x8ac/0xb50
ocfs2_acquire_dquot+0x614/0xae0
ocfs2_get_init_inode+0xe9/0x1b0
ocfs2_mkdir+0x174/0x430

ocfs2_local_quota_add_chunk() has the same exposure.

Reject a header whose counts don't fit the chunk layout or exceed i_size.

Reproduced with a crafted image (dqi_blocks = 1, chunk 0 dqc_free = 0);
syzbot has no reproducer for this report.
