I have bisected the issue, and found the commit that introduces the problem:
commit d08089f649a0cfb2099c8551ac47eef0cc23fdf2 Author: David Howells <dhowe...@redhat.com> Date: Mon Jan 24 21:13:24 2022 +0000 Subject: cifs: Change the I/O paths to use an iterator rather than a page list Link: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d08089f649a0cfb2099c8551ac47eef0cc23fdf2 $ git describe --contains d08089f649a0cfb2099c8551ac47eef0cc23fdf2 v6.3-rc1~136^2~7 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2049634 Title: smb1: wsize blocks of bytes followed with binary zeros on copy, destroying data Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Mantic: In Progress Status in linux source package in Noble: In Progress Bug description: [Impact] Upon installing the 6.5 HWE kernel on Jammy, users with a custom wsize set will see data destruction when copying files from their systems onto a cifs smb 1.0 mount. wsize defaults to 65535 bytes, but when set to smaller values, like 16850, users will see blocks of 16850 bytes copied over, followed by 3900 binary zeros, followed by the next block of data followed by more binary zeros. A workaround is to increase wsize, but this only works for small files, as any files larger than wsize will see the bug. Most users will want to use the 6.2 HWE kernel until this is fixed. [Testcase] Start two VMs, one for the server, and the other, the client. Server ------ $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt upgrade $ sudo apt install samba $ sudo vim /etc/samba/smb.conf server min protocol = NT1 [sambashare] comment = Samba on Ubuntu path = /home/ubuntu/sambashare read only = no browsable = yes $ mkdir ~/sambashare $ sudo smbpasswd -a ubuntu Client ------ $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install cifs-utils $ mkdir ~/share $ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=ubuntu,vers=1.0,wsize=16850 //192.168.122.172/sambashare ~/share $ ( set -o pipefail && head --bytes=$(( 55 * 1000 )) /dev/zero | openssl enc -aes-128-ctr -nosalt -pass "pass:my-seed" -iter 1 | hexdump --no-squeezing --format '40/1 "%02x"' --format '"\n"' >"testdata.txt" ) $ sha256sum testdata.txt 9ec09af020dce3270ea76531141940106f173c7243b7193a553480fb8500b3f2 testdata.txt Now copy the file to the share.

If you view the file with less, you will find a block of wsize=16850 bytes, then 3900 bytes of binary zeros, followed by another wsize=16850 bytes, then 3900 bytes of binary zeros, etc. An example of a broken file is: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/712573213/testdata-back-from-server.txt [Where problems could occur] [Other info] Currently bisecting.
