Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udf: Mark LVID buffer as uptodate before marking it dirty
When an I/O error occurs while writing the Logical Volume Integrity
Descriptor (LVID) buffer to the block device, the block layer's completion
handler (`end_buffer_write_sync()`) clears the `BH_Uptodate` flag on the
buffer. However, the buffer still contains valid LVID data in memory. If
the filesystem is subsequently remounted read-write or synced,
`udf_open_lvid()` or `udf_sync_fs()` will modify the LVID buffer and call
`mark_buffer_dirty()`. This triggers a spurious
`WARN_ON_ONCE(!buffer_uptodate(bh))` warning in `mark_buffer_dirty()`
because the buffer is not marked uptodate, even though its in-memory
contents are valid and are about to be overwritten.
To prevent this spurious warning, unconditionally set the `BH_Uptodate`
flag before calling `mark_buffer_dirty()` in `udf_open_lvid()` and
`udf_sync_fs()`. This acknowledges that the in-memory buffer is valid and
matches the workaround previously applied to `udf_close_lvid()` in commit
853a0c25baf9 ("udf: Mark LVID buffer as uptodate before marking it dirty").
Extending this workaround ensures consistent behavior across all LVID
updates.
