Title:
SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
We've had system relying on reading data from squashfs that's been
stable for a number of years. We've recently noticed that when running
on machines that include the patch set from
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2015511 that we
start to see error messages of the following shape:
SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block
Machines showing the problem are all running kernel 5.4.0-150-generic
Machines NOT having any problems with the SAME workloads are running a
mix of the following kernels:
5.15.0-52-generic
5.15.0-53-generic
5.4.0-100-generic
5.4.0-104-generic
5.4.0-105-generic
5.4.0-125-generic
5.4.0-137-generic
5.4.0-147-generic
I'm not able to reproduce the failure on demand.
What is suspicious to me from that change set is that the following 2
patches are applied:
squashfs: harden sanity check in squashfs_read_xattr_id_table
Squashfs: fix handling and sanity checking of xattr_ids count
and then only 1 of them is reverted, although the patches in question
appear to be related:
revert "squashfs: harden sanity check in squashfs_read_xattr_id_table"
In addition to 5.4.0-149.166, it appears the same surviving patch was
also pulled into the following Ubuntu kernel builds:
5.15.0-72.79
5.19.0-42.43
Additional data from one of the problem machines:
# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
Release: 20.04
# cat /proc/version_signature
Ubuntu 5.4.0-150.167-generic 5.4.233
