Ryusuke Konishi 679bd7ebdd nilfs2: fix buffer corruption due to concurrent device reads
As a result of analysis of a syzbot report, it turned out that in three
cases where nilfs2 allocates block device buffers directly via sb_getblk,
concurrent reads to the device can corrupt the allocated buffers.

Nilfs2 uses sb_getblk for segment summary blocks, that make up a log
header, and the super root block, that is the trailer, and when moving and
writing the second super block after fs resize.

In any of these, since the uptodate flag is not set when storing metadata
to be written in the allocated buffers, the stored metadata will be
overwritten if a device read of the same block occurs concurrently before
the write.  This causes metadata corruption and misbehavior in the log
write itself, causing warnings in nilfs_btree_assign() as reported.

Fix these issues by setting an uptodate flag on the buffer head on the
first or before modifying each buffer obtained with sb_getblk, and
clearing the flag on failure.

When setting the uptodate flag, the lock_buffer/unlock_buffer pair is used
to perform necessary exclusive control, and the buffer is filled to ensure
that uninitialized bytes are not mixed into the data read from others.  As
for buffers for segment summary blocks, they are filled incrementally, so
if the uptodate flag was unset on their allocation, set the flag and zero
fill the buffer once at that point.

Also, regarding the superblock move routine, the starting point of the
memset call to zerofill the block is incorrectly specified, which can
cause a buffer overflow on file systems with block sizes greater than
4KiB.  In addition, if the superblock is moved within a large block, it is
necessary to assume the possibility that the data in the superblock will
be destroyed by zero-filling before copying.  So fix these potential
issues as well.

README

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.
