nilfs2: reject CLEAN_SEGMENTS ioctl with out-of-range segment numbers

Browse Source 
commit 0e7a690fe4 upstream.

Syzbot reported a hung task in nilfs_transaction_begin() where multiple
tasks performing chmod() on a nilfs2 mount blocked for over 143 seconds
waiting to acquire ns_segctor_sem for read:

  INFO: task syz.0.17:5918 blocked for more than 143 seconds.
  Call Trace:

The writer holding ns_segctor_sem was a concurrent
NILFS_IOCTL_CLEAN_SEGMENTS caller, stuck inside printk while emitting
per-element warnings from nilfs_sufile_updatev():

   __nilfs_msg+0x373/0x450 fs/nilfs2/super.c:78
   nilfs_sufile_updatev+0x21c/0x6d0 fs/nilfs2/sufile.c:186

   nilfs_ioctl_clean_segments fs/nilfs2/ioctl.c:922 [inline]
   nilfs_ioctl+0x261f/0x2780

The root cause is that user-supplied segment numbers are not validated
before nilfs_clean_segments() begins doing work; the range check on
each segnum is performed deep inside the call chain by
nilfs_sufile_updatev(), which emits a nilfs_warn() per invalid entry
while still holding the segctor lock and the sufile mi_sem.  Under load
(repeated invocations across multiple mounts saturating the global
printk path), the cumulative printk latency keeps ns_segctor_sem held
long enough to trip the hung_task watchdog, blocking concurrent
operations such as chmod() that need ns_segctor_sem for read.

Fix by validating the contents of kbufs[4] in nilfs_clean_segments()
immediately after acquiring ns_segctor_sem via nilfs_transaction_lock().
Holding ns_segctor_sem serializes the check against
nilfs_ioctl_resize(), which can modify ns_nsegments, so the validation
uses a consistent value.  Out-of-range segment numbers are rejected
with -EINVAL before any segment-cleaning work begins, so the bad
entries never reach the per-element diagnostic path inside
nilfs_sufile_updatev().
