has the following data chunk layout:\n\n item 2 key (FIRST_CHUNK_TREE CHUNK_ITEM 2214658048) itemoff 16025 itemsize 80\n length 86016 owner 2 stripe_len 65536 type DATA|single\n\nFor above logical bytenr 2214744064, it's at the chunk end\n(2214658048 + 86016 = 2214744064).\n\nThis means btrfs_submit_bio() would split the bio, and trigger endio\nfunction for both of the two halves.\n\nHowever scrub_submit_initial_read() would only expect the endio function\nto be called once, not any more.\nThis means the first endio function would already free the bbio::bio,\nleaving the bvec freed, thus the 2nd endio call would lead to\nuse-after-free.\n\n[FIX]\n- Make sure scrub_read_endio() only updates bits in its range\n Since we may read less than 64K at the end of the chunk, we should not\n touch the bits beyond chunk boundary.\n\n- Make sure scrub_submit_initial_read() only to read the chunk range\n This is done by calculating the real number of sectors we need to\n read, and add sector-by-sector to the bio.\n\nThankfully the scrub read repair path won't need extra fixes:\n\n- scrub_stripe_submit_repair_read()\n With above fixes, we won't update error bit for range beyond chunk,\n thus scrub_stripe_submit_repair_read() should never submit any read\n beyond the chunk." affected:
