Yes, I know. That was my point. I don't think it's useful for debugging the upstream dquot_commit syzbot report (for which we don't have a reproducer yet). > > there is never any attempt to run rmdir() on the corrupted file system that > > is mounted. > > Recursive rmdir happens as part of test cleanup implicitly, you can > see rmdir call in remove_dir function in the C reproducer: > https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=ReproC&x=12caea37900000 That rmdir() removes the mountpoint, which is *not* the fuzzed file system which has the quota feature enabled. > > procid never gets incremented, so all of the threads only operate on > > /dev/loop0 > > This is intentional. procid is supposed to "isolate" parallel test > processes (if any).

Um... yes it does: int main(void) { syscall(__NR_mmap, 0x1ffff000ul, 0x1000ul, 0ul, 0x32ul, -1, 0ul); syscall(__NR_mmap, 0x20000000ul, 0x1000000ul, 7ul, 0x32ul, -1, 0ul); syscall(__NR_mmap, 0x21000000ul, 0x1000ul, 0ul, 0x32ul, -1, 0ul); use_temporary_dir(); loop(); return 0; } and what is loop? static void loop(void) { int iter = 0; for (;; iter++) { ... reset_loop(); int pid = fork(); if (pid < 0) exit(1); if (pid == 0) { if (chdir(cwdbuf)) exit(1); setup_test(); execute_one(); exit(0); } ... remove_dir(cwdbuf); } } > > Am I correct in understanding that when syzbot is running, it uses the > > syzbot repro, and not the C repro? > > It tries both.

Well, looking at the C reproducer, it doesn't reproduce on upstream, and the stack trace makes no sense to me. The rmdir() executes at the end of the test, as part of the cleanup, and looking at the syzkaller console, the stack trace involving rmdir happens *early* while test threads are still trying to mount the file system. - Ted
