Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 55/74] btrfs: subpage: check if there are compressed extents inside one page

From: Qu Wenruo <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 3670e6451bc9c39ab3a46f1da19360219e4319f3 ]

[BUG]
When testing experimental subpage compressed write support, it hits a
NULL pointer dereference inside read path:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000018
pc : __pi_memcmp+0x28/0x1ec

---[ end trace 9e2c59f33ea40866 ]---

[CAUSE]
When reading two compressed extents inside the same page, like the
following layout, we trigger above crash:

0 32K 64K
|-------|\\\\\\\|
| \- Compressed extent (A)
\--------- Compressed extent (B)

For compressed read, we don't need to populate its io_bio->csum, as we
rely on compressed_bio->csum to verify the compressed data, and then
copy the decompressed to inode pages.

Normally btrfs_verify_data_csum() skip such page by checking and
clearing its PageChecked flag

But since that flag is still for the full page, when endio for inode
page range [0, 32K) gets executed, it clears PageChecked flag for the
full page.

Then when endio for inode page range [32K, 64K) gets executed, since the
page no longer has PageChecked flag, it just continues checking, even
though io_bio->csum is NULL.

[FIX]
Thankfully there are only two users of PageChecked bit:

- Cow fixup
Since subpage has its own way to trace page dirty (dirty_bitmap) and
ordered bit (ordered_bitmap), it should never trigger cow fixup.

- Compressed read
We can distinguish such read by just checking io_bio->csum.

So just check io_bio->csum before doing the verification to avoid such
NULL pointer dereference.
