CVE-2024-35844

/// Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: compress: fix reserve_cblocks counting error when out of space

When a file only needs one direct_node, performing the following

operations will cause the file to be unrepairable:

unisoc # ./f2fs_io compress test.apk

unisoc #df -h | grep dm-48

/dev/block/dm-48 112G 112G 1.2M 100% /data

unisoc # ./f2fs_io release_cblocks test.apk

924

unisoc # df -h | grep dm-48

/dev/block/dm-48 112G 112G 4.8M 100% /data

unisoc # dd if=/dev/random of=file4 bs=1M count=3

3145728 bytes (3.0 M) copied, 0.025 s, 120 M/s

unisoc # df -h | grep dm-48

/dev/block/dm-48 112G 112G 1.8M 100% /data

unisoc # ./f2fs_io reserve_cblocks test.apk

F2FS_IOC_RESERVE_COMPRESS_BLOCKS failed: No space left on device

adb reboot

unisoc # df -h | grep dm-48

/dev/block/dm-48 112G 112G 11M 100% /data

unisoc # ./f2fs_io reserve_cblocks test.apk

0

This is because the file has only one direct_node. After returning

to -ENOSPC, reserved_blocks
