[ Upstream commit cc2b702c ] Variables start_idx and end_idx are supposed to hold a page index derived from the file offsets. The int type is not the right one though, offsets larger than 1 << 44 will get silently trimmed off the high bits. (1 << 44 is 16TiB) What can go wrong, if start is below the boundary and end gets trimmed: - if there's a page after start, we'll find it (radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot) - the final check "if (page->index <= end_idx)" will unexpectedly fail The function will return false, ie. "there's no page in the range", although there is at least one. btrfs_page_exists_in_range is used to prevent races in: * in hole punching, where we make sure there are not pages in the truncated range, otherwise we'll wait for them to finish and redo truncation, but we're going to replace the pages with holes anyway so the only problem is the intermediate state * lock_extent_direct: we want to make sure there are no pages before we lock and start DIO, to prevent stale data reads For practical occurence of the bug, there are several constaints. The file must be quite large, the affected range must cross the 16TiB boundary and the internal state of the file pages and pending operations must match. Also, we must not have started any ordered data in the range, otherwise we don't even reach the buggy function check. DIO locking tries hard in several places to avoid deadlocks with buffered IO and avoids waiting for ranges. The worst consequence seems to be stale data read.
