find_group_other() and find_group_orlov() read *_lo, *_hi with ext4_free_inodes_count without additional locking. This can cause data-race warning, but since the lock is held for most writes and free inodes value is generally not a problem even if it is incorrect, it is more appropriate to use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() than to add locking. ================================================================== BUG: KCSAN: data-race in ext4_free_inodes_count / ext4_free_inodes_set write to 0xffff88810404300e of 2 bytes by task 6254 on cpu 1: ext4_free_inodes_set+0x1f/0x80 fs/ext4/super.c:405 __ext4_new_inode+0x15ca/0x2200 fs/ext4/ialloc.c:1216 ext4_symlink+0x242/0x5a0 fs/ext4/namei.c:3391 vfs_symlink+0xca/0x1d0 fs/namei.c:4615 do_symlinkat+0xe3/0x340 fs/namei.c:4641 __do_sys_symlinkat fs/namei.c:4657 [inline] __se_sys_symlinkat fs/namei.c:4654 [inline] __x64_sys_symlinkat+0x5e/0x70 fs/namei.c:4654 x64_sys_call+0x1dda/0x2d60 arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.h:267 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:52 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x54/0x120 arch/x86/entry/common.c:83 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e read to 0xffff88810404300e of 2 bytes by task 6257 on cpu 0: ext4_free_inodes_count+0x1c/0x80 fs/ext4/super.c:349 find_group_other fs/ext4/ialloc.c:594 [inline] __ext4_new_inode+0x6ec/0x2200 fs/ext4/ialloc.c:1017 ext4_symlink+0x242/0x5a0 fs/ext4/namei.c:3391 vfs_symlink+0xca/0x1d0 fs/namei.c:4615 do_symlinkat+0xe3/0x340 fs/namei.c:4641 __do_sys_symlinkat fs/namei.c:4657 [inline] __se_sys_symlinkat fs/namei.c:4654 [inline] __x64_sys_symlinkat+0x5e/0x70 fs/namei.c:4654 x64_sys_call+0x1dda/0x2d60 arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.h:267 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:52 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x54/0x120 arch/x86/entry/common.c:83 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jeongjun Park <aha310510@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Andreas Dilger <adilger@dilger.ca> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20241003125337.47283-1-aha310510@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
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 reStructuredText 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.
