This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-raspi/6.5.0-1014.17 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-mantic-linux-raspi' to 'verification-done- mantic-linux-raspi'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-mantic-linux-raspi' to 'verification-failed-mantic- linux-raspi'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

This destroys what you are copying, and the data corruption is completely silent. A workaround is to set wsize to a multiple of PAGE_SIZE. [Fix] This was fixed upstream in 6.8-rc5 by the following: commit 4860abb91f3d7fbaf8147d54782149bb1fc45892 Author: Steve French <stfre...@microsoft.com> Date: Tue Feb 6 16:34:22 2024 -0600 Subject: smb: Fix regression in writes when non-standard maximum write size negotiated Link: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=4860abb91f3d7fbaf8147d54782149bb1fc45892 This patch has been selected for upstream stable. The patch looks at wsize negotiation from the server, and also what is set on the mount command line, and if not a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, rounds it down, taking care to not be 0. The real corruption bug still exists in netfs/folios subsystems and we are looking for it still, but this solves the immediate data corruption issues on smb. [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. Client ------ $ cp testdata.txt share/ Server ------ $ sha256sum sambashare/testdata.txt 9e573a0aa795f9cd4de4ac684a1c056dbc7d2ba5494d02e71b6225ff5f0fd866 sambashare/testdata.txt The SHA256 hash is different. 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] We are changing the wsize that the SMB server negotiates or the user explicitly sets on the mount command line to a safe value, if the asked for value was not a multiple of PAGE_SIZE. It is unlikely that any users will notice any difference. If the wsize happens to be rounded down to a significantly smaller number, there may be a small performance impact, e.g. you set wsize=8094 for some reason, it would round down to wsize=4096, and lead to double the writes. At least you have data integrity though. Most users default to wsize=65535, and will have no impact at all. Only those with very old smb 1.0 servers that negotiate down to 16850 will see any difference. If a regression were to occur, it could result in user's wsize being incorrectly set, leading to the underlying netfs/folios data corruption being triggered and causing data corruption.
