blk_trace_synthesize_old_trace() emits a classic blk_io_trace for the binary trace_pipe output by copying 32 bytes from the ring buffer entry's sector onward into a struct blk_io_trace. The entry is a blk_io_trace2, and the two layouts diverge after bytes: v2 has a 32-bit pid at 28 and a 64-bit action at 32, where v1 has a 32-bit action at 28 and pid at 32. Every field from action on lands one slot off, so a consumer reads the pid as the action, the device as the cpu, and the cpu as error and pdu_len. The PDU comes from the wrong offset as well. The copy ends at v2 offset 48 + pdu_len while the PDU starts at 64, so for any event carrying one -- BLK_TA_REMAP, SPLIT, UNPLUG_*, DRV_DATA, BLK_TN_MESSAGE -- the bytes appended are the error, pdu_len and pad trailer rather than the PDU. Assign each v1 field from its v2 counterpart and append the PDU from the end of the v2 record, bounded by the entry size. This applies on top of Adriano Cordova's "blktrace: always record ftrace events as blk_io_trace2", <20260903202932.156278-1-adrianox@gmail.com>, and needs it. Without that patch __blk_add_trace() still reserves a 48-byte v1 entry when the trace was set up by BLKTRACESETUP, and nothing in the entry says which layout it has: magic and sequence are the ftrace trace_entry header and neither writer fills them, and the two sizes overlap, because a v1 record carrying a 16-byte BLK_TA_REMAP PDU is also 64 bytes. Removing the short entry is what makes reading the v2 layout unconditionally correct.

It cannot: a 48-byte v1 record carrying a 16-byte BLK_TA_REMAP PDU is also 64 bytes, so a v1 entry took the v2 arm and came out with every field from action on shifted and the PDU dropped. Caught by sashiko-bot, <20260913031030.E85191F000FF@smtp.kernel.org>. - Depend on the patch above instead, so no v1 entry reaches this function. - Drop the syzbot Reported-by/Closes. That report is the unbounded copy driven by pdu_len read past the end of a 48-byte entry, and his patch is what closes it; this one fixes the field offsets, a separate defect on the same line. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260913025827.457116-1-donggeunyoo.kernel@gmail.com/ QEMU x86_64, origin/master 2f0c1cf72f46 plus his patch, one config and one initramfs across all three arms. BLKTRACESETUP on a partitioned virtio disk, blk tracer with options/bin, and a partition read for a BLK_TA_REMAP with a 16-byte PDU. Binary stream decoded at v1 offsets: mainline action 0x0811000f, pid 0x75, device 0x0fe00010, pdu_len 16 and the correct PDU, then 8 bytes too many, so the next record's magic no longer lands on a boundary. v1 of this action 0x75 -- the pid -- pid 0x0811000f, device 0, cpu 0x00100000, error 0xd00f, pdu_len 0, PDU dropped. In sync, wrong. this patch action 0x0811000f, pid 0x75, device 0x0fe00010, pdu_len 16, the correct PDU, next record on the boundary. Not exercised: the syzbot splat. iter->ent points into a ring buffer sub-buffer page, so KASAN sees an over-read only when it crosses the page end; 120 rounds over varying buffer sizes did not land it. kernel/trace/blktrace.c | 17 ++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/trace/blktrace.c b/kernel/trace/blktrace.c index ae010969c144..875c04d86c93 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/blktrace.c +++ b/kernel/trace/blktrace.c @@ -1728,17 +1728,24 @@ static enum print_line_t blk_trace_event_print(struct trace_iterator *iter, static void blk_trace_synthesize_old_trace(struct trace_iterator *iter) { + const struct blk_io_trace2 *t = te_blk_io_trace(iter->ent); struct trace_seq *s = &iter->seq; - struct blk_io_trace2 *t = (struct blk_io_trace2 *)iter->ent; - const int offset = offsetof(struct blk_io_trace2, sector); struct blk_io_trace old = { .magic = BLK_IO_TRACE_MAGIC | BLK_IO_TRACE_VERSION, .time = iter->ts, + .sector = t->sector, + .bytes = t->bytes, + .action = lower_32_bits(t->action), + .pid = t->pid, + .device = t->device, + .cpu = t->cpu, + .error = t->error, + .pdu_len = min_t(size_t, t->pdu_len, + iter->ent_size - sizeof(*t)), }; - trace_seq_putmem(s, &old, offset); - trace_seq_putmem(s, &t->sector, - sizeof(old) - offset + t->pdu_len); + trace_seq_putmem(s, &old, sizeof(old)); + trace_seq_putmem(s, t + 1, old.pdu_len); } static enum print_line_t -- 2.53.0
