fs/dcache: Fix incorrect nr_dentry_unused accounting in shrink_dcache_sb()

2019-02-06T16:34:53Z

commit 1dbd449c9943e3145148cc893c2461b72ba6fef0 upstream. The nr_dentry_unused per-cpu counter tracks dentries in both the LRU lists and the shrink lists where the DCACHE_LRU_LIST bit is set. The shrink_dcache_sb() function moves dentries from the LRU list to a shrink list and subtracts the dentry count from nr_dentry_unused. This is incorrect as the nr_dentry_unused count will also be decremented in shrink_dentry_list() via d_shrink_del(). To fix this double decrement, the decrement in the shrink_dcache_sb() function is taken out. Fixes: 4e717f5c1083 ("list_lru: remove special case function list_lru_dispose_all."

root dentries need RCU-delayed freeing

2018-08-17T18:54:55Z

commit 90bad5e05bcdb0308cfa3d3a60f5c0b9c8e2efb3 upstream. Since mountpoint crossing can happen without leaving lazy mode, root dentries do need the same protection against having their memory freed without RCU delay as everything else in the tree. It's partially hidden by RCU delay between detaching from the mount tree and dropping the vfsmount reference, but the starting point of pathwalk can be on an already detached mount, in which case umount-caused RCU delay has already passed by the time the lazy pathwalk grabs rcu_read_lock(). If the starting point happens to be at the root of that vfsmount *and* that vfsmount covers the entire filesystem, we get trouble.

do d_instantiate/unlock_new_inode combinations safely

2018-05-30T05:47:29Z

commit 1e2e547a93a00ebc21582c06ca3c6cfea2a309ee upstream. For anything NFS-exported we do _not_ want to unlock new inode before it has grown an alias; original set of fixes got the ordering right, but missed the nasty complication in case of lockdep being enabled - unlock_new_inode() does lockdep_annotate_inode_mutex_key(inode) which can only be done before anyone gets a chance to touch ->i_mutex. Unfortunately, flipping the order and doing unlock_new_inode() before d_instantiate() opens a window when mkdir can race with open-by-fhandle on a guessed fhandle, leading to multiple aliases for a directory inode and all the breakage that follows from that. Correct solution: a new primitive (d_instantiate_new()) combining these two in the right order - lockdep annotate, then d_instantiate(), then the rest of unlock_new_inode(). All combinations of d_instantiate() with unlock_new_inode() should be converted to that.

lock_parent() needs to recheck if dentry got __dentry_kill'ed under it

2018-03-22T08:37:18Z

commit 3b821409632ab778d46e807516b457dfa72736ed upstream. In case when dentry passed to lock_parent() is protected from freeing only by the fact that it's on a shrink list and trylock of parent fails, we could get hit by __dentry_kill() (and subsequent dentry_kill(parent)) between unlocking dentry and locking presumed parent. We need to recheck that dentry is alive once we lock both it and parent *and* postpone rcu_read_unlock() until after that point. Otherwise we could return a pointer to struct dentry that already is rcu-scheduled for freeing, with ->d_lock held on it; caller's subsequent attempt to unlock it can end up with memory corruption.

dentry name snapshots

2017-08-11T16:30:11Z

commit 49d31c2f389acfe83417083e1208422b4091cd9e upstream. take_dentry_name_snapshot() takes a safe snapshot of dentry name; if the name is a short one, it gets copied into caller-supplied structure, otherwise an extra reference to external name is grabbed (those are never modified). In either case the pointer to stable string is stored into the same structure. dentry must be held by the caller of take_dentry_name_snapshot(), but may be freely dropped afterwards - the snapshot will stay until destroyed by release_dentry_name_snapshot(). Intended use: struct name_snapshot s; take_dentry_name_snapshot(&s, dentry); ... access s.name ... release_dentry_name_snapshot(&s); Replaces fsnotify_oldname_...(), gets used in fsnotify to obtain the name to pass down with event.

fs/dcache.c: fix spin lockup issue on nlru->lock

2017-07-21T06:12:22Z

commit b17c070fb624cf10162cf92ea5e1ec25cd8ac176 upstream. __list_lru_walk_one() acquires nlru spin lock (nlru->lock) for longer duration if there are more number of items in the lru list. As per the current code, it can hold the spin lock for upto maximum UINT_MAX entries at a time. So if there are more number of items in the lru list, then "BUG: spinlock lockup suspected" is observed in the below path: spin_bug+0x90 do_raw_spin_lock+0xfc _raw_spin_lock+0x28 list_lru_add+0x28 dput+0x1c8 path_put+0x20 terminate_walk+0x3c path_lookupat+0x100 filename_lookup+0x6c user_path_at_empty+0x54 SyS_faccessat+0xd0 el0_svc_naked+0x24 This nlru->lock is acquired by another CPU in this path - d_lru_shrink_move+0x34 dentry_lru_isolate_shrink+0x48 __list_lru_walk_one.isra.10+0x94 list_lru_walk_node+0x40 shrink_dcache_sb+0x60 do_remount_sb+0xbc do_emergency_remount+0xb0 process_one_work+0x228 worker_thread+0x2e0 kthread+0xf4 ret_from_fork+0x10 Fix this lockup by reducing the number of entries to be shrinked from the lru list to 1024 at once.

fix d_walk()/non-delayed __d_free() race

[ Upstream commit 3d56c25e3bb0726a5c5e16fc2d9e38f8ed763085 ] Ascend-to-parent logics in d_walk() depends on all encountered child dentries not getting freed without an RCU delay. Unfortunately, in quite a few cases it is not true, with hard-to-hit oopsable race as the result. Fortunately, the fix is simiple; right now the rule is "if it ever been hashed, freeing must be delayed" and changing it to "if it ever had a parent, freeing must be delayed" closes that hole and covers all cases the old rule used to cover. Moreover, pipes and sockets remain _not_ covered, so we do not introduce RCU delay in the cases which are the reason for having that delay conditional in the first place.

overlayfs: Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay

2015-10-28T02:14:24Z

[ Upstream commit 4bacc9c9234c7c8eec44f5ed4e960d9f96fa0f01 ] Make file->f_path always point to the overlay dentry so that the path in /proc/pid/fd is correct and to ensure that label-based LSMs have access to the overlay as well as the underlay (path-based LSMs probably don't need it). Using my union testsuite to set things up, before the patch I see: [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5 /a/foo107 [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107 ... Device: 23h/35d Inode: 13381 Links: 1 ... [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5 ... Device: 23h/35d Inode: 13381 Links: 1 ... After the patch: [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5 /mnt/a/foo107 [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107 ... Device: 23h/35d Inode: 40346 Links: 1 ... [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5 ... Device: 23h/35d Inode: 40346 Links: 1 ... Note the change in where /proc/$$/fd/5 points to in the ls command. It was pointing to /a/foo107 (which doesn't exist) and now points to /mnt/a/foo107 (which is correct). The inode accessed, however, is the lower layer. The union layer is on device 25h/37d and the upper layer on 24h/36d. Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin
