fscache: Fix reference overput in fscache_attach_object() error handling

2018-11-20T18:05:49Z

commit f29507ce66701084c39aeb1b0ae71690cbff3554 upstream. When a cookie is allocated that causes fscache_object structs to be allocated, those objects are initialised with the cookie pointer, but aren't blessed with a ref on that cookie unless the attachment is successfully completed in fscache_attach_object(). If attachment fails because the parent object was dying or there was a collision, fscache_attach_object() returns without incrementing the cookie counter - but upon failure of this function, the object is released which then puts the cookie, whether or not a ref was taken on the cookie. Fix this by taking a ref on the cookie when it is assigned in fscache_object_init(), even when we're creating a root object. Analysis from Kiran Kumar: This bug has been seen in 4.4.0-124-generic #148-Ubuntu kernel BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1776277 fscache cookie ref count updated incorrectly during fscache object allocation resulting in following Oops. kernel BUG at /build/linux-Y09MKI/linux-4.4.0/fs/fscache/internal.h:321! kernel BUG at /build/linux-Y09MKI/linux-4.4.0/fs/fscache/cookie.c:639! [Cause] Two threads are trying to do operate on a cookie and two objects. (1) One thread tries to unmount the filesystem and in process goes over a huge list of objects marking them dead and deleting the objects. cookie->usage is also decremented in following path: nfs_fscache_release_super_cookie -> __fscache_relinquish_cookie ->__fscache_cookie_put ->BUG_ON(atomic_read(&cookie->usage) <= 0); (2) A second thread tries to lookup an object for reading data in following path: fscache_alloc_object 1) cachefiles_alloc_object -> fscache_object_init -> assign cookie, but usage not bumped. 2) fscache_attach_object -> fails in cant_attach_object because the cookie's backing object or cookie's->parent object are going away 3) fscache_put_object -> cachefiles_put_object ->fscache_object_destroy ->fscache_cookie_put ->BUG_ON(atomic_read(&cookie->usage) <= 0); [NOTE from dhowells] It's unclear as to the circumstances in which (2) can take place, given that thread (1) is in nfs_kill_super(), however a conflicting NFS mount with slightly different parameters that creates a different superblock would do it. A backtrace from Kiran seems to show that this is a possibility: kernel BUG at/build/linux-Y09MKI/linux-4.4.0/fs/fscache/cookie.c:639! ...

FS-Cache: Provide the ability to enable/disable cookies

2013-09-27T17:40:25Z

Provide the ability to enable and disable fscache cookies. A disabled cookie will reject or ignore further requests to: Acquire a child cookie Invalidate and update backing objects Check the consistency of a backing object Allocate storage for backing page Read backing pages Write to backing pages but still allows: Checks/waits on the completion of already in-progress objects Uncaching of pages Relinquishment of cookies Two new operations are provided: (1) Disable a cookie: void fscache_disable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, bool invalidate); If the cookie is not already disabled, this locks the cookie against other dis/enablement ops, marks the cookie as being disabled, discards or invalidates any backing objects and waits for cessation of activity on any associated object. This is a wrapper around a chunk split out of fscache_relinquish_cookie(), but it reinitialises the cookie such that it can be reenabled. All possible failures are handled internally. The caller should consider calling fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages() afterwards to make sure all page markings are cleared up. (2) Enable a cookie: void fscache_enable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, bool (*can_enable)(void *data), void *data) If the cookie is not already enabled, this locks the cookie against other dis/enablement ops, invokes can_enable() and, if the cookie is not an index cookie, will begin the procedure of acquiring backing objects. The optional can_enable() function is passed the data argument and returns a ruling as to whether or not enablement should actually be permitted to begin. All possible failures are handled internally. The cookie will only be marked as enabled if provisional backing objects are allocated. A later patch will introduce these to NFS. Cookie enablement during nfs_open() is then contingent on i_writecount <= 0. can_enable() checks for a race between open(O_RDONLY) and open(O_WRONLY/O_RDWR). This simplifies NFS's cookie handling and allows us to get rid of open(O_RDONLY) accidentally introducing caching to an inode that's open for writing already. One operation has its API modified: (3) Acquire a cookie. struct fscache_cookie *fscache_acquire_cookie( struct fscache_cookie *parent, const struct fscache_cookie_def *def, void *netfs_data, bool enable); This now has an additional argument that indicates whether the requested cookie should be enabled by default. It doesn't need the can_enable() function because the caller must prevent multiple calls for the same netfs object and it doesn't need to take the enablement lock because no one else can get at the cookie before this returns.

FS-Cache: Add use/unuse/wake cookie wrappers

2013-09-27T17:40:25Z

Add wrapper functions for dealing with cookie->n_active: (*) __fscache_use_cookie() to increment it. (*) __fscache_unuse_cookie() to decrement and test against zero. (*) __fscache_wake_unused_cookie() to wake up anyone waiting for it to reach zero. The second and third are split so that the third can be done after cookie->lock has been released in case the waiter wakes up whilst we're still holding it and tries to get it. We will need to wake-on-zero once the cookie disablement patch is applied because it will then be possible to see n_active become zero without the cookie being relinquished. Also move the cookie usement out of fscache_attr_changed_op() and into fscache_attr_changed() and the operation struct so that cookie disablement will be able to track it. Whilst we're at it, only increment n_active if we're about to do fscache_submit_op() so that we don't have to deal with undoing it if anything earlier fails. Possibly this should be moved into fscache_submit_op() which could look at FSCACHE_OP_UNUSE_COOKIE. Signed-off-by: David Howells

FS-Cache: Add interface to check consistency of a cached object

2013-09-06T08:17:30Z

Extend the fscache netfs API so that the netfs can ask as to whether a cache object is up to date with respect to its corresponding netfs object: int fscache_check_consistency(struct fscache_cookie *cookie) This will call back to the netfs to check whether the auxiliary data associated with a cookie is correct. It returns 0 if it is and -ESTALE if it isn't; it may also return -ENOMEM and -ERESTARTSYS. The backends now have to implement a mandatory operation pointer: int (*check_consistency)(struct fscache_object *object) that corresponds to the above API call. FS-Cache takes care of pinning the object and the cookie in memory and managing this call with respect to the object state.

FS-Cache: Simplify cookie retention for fscache_objects, fixing oops

2013-06-19T13:16:47Z

Simplify the way fscache cache objects retain their cookie. The way I implemented the cookie storage handling made synchronisation a pain (ie. the object state machine can't rely on the cookie actually still being there). Instead of the the object being detached from the cookie and the cookie being freed in __fscache_relinquish_cookie(), we defer both operations: (*) The detachment of the object from the list in the cookie now takes place in fscache_drop_object() and is thus governed by the object state machine (fscache_detach_from_cookie() has been removed). (*) The release of the cookie is now in fscache_object_destroy() - which is called by the cache backend just before it frees the object. This means that the fscache_cookie struct is now available to the cache all the way through from ->alloc_object() to ->drop_object() and ->put_object() - meaning that it's no longer necessary to take object->lock to guarantee access. However, __fscache_relinquish_cookie() doesn't wait for the object to go all the way through to destruction before letting the netfs proceed. That would massively slow down the netfs. Since __fscache_relinquish_cookie() leaves the cookie around, in must therefore break all attachments to the netfs - which includes ->def, ->netfs_data and any outstanding page read/writes. To handle this, struct fscache_cookie now has an n_active counter: (1) This starts off initialised to 1. (2) Any time the cache needs to get at the netfs data, it calls fscache_use_cookie() to increment it - if it is not zero. If it was zero, then access is not permitted. (3) When the cache has finished with the data, it calls fscache_unuse_cookie() to decrement it. This does a wake-up on it if it reaches 0. (4) __fscache_relinquish_cookie() decrements n_active and then waits for it to reach 0. The initialisation to 1 in step (1) ensures that we only get wake ups when we're trying to get rid of the cookie. This leaves __fscache_relinquish_cookie() a lot simpler. *** This fixes a problem in the current code whereby if fscache_invalidate() is followed sufficiently quickly by fscache_relinquish_cookie() then it is possible for __fscache_relinquish_cookie() to have detached the cookie from the object and cleared the pointer before a thread is dispatched to process the invalidation state in the object state machine. Since the pending write clearance was deferred to the invalidation state to make it asynchronous, we need to either wait in relinquishment for the stores tree to be cleared in the invalidation state or we need to handle the clearance in relinquishment. Further, if the relinquishment code does clear the tree, then the invalidation state need to make the clearance contingent on still having the cookie to hand (since that's where the tree is rooted) and we have to prevent the cookie from disappearing for the duration. This can lead to an oops like the following: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000000c ... RIP: 0010:[] _spin_lock+0xe/0x30 ... CR2: 000000000000000c ... ...

FS-Cache: Fix object state machine to have separate work and wait states

2013-06-19T13:16:47Z

Fix object state machine to have separate work and wait states as that makes it easier to envision. There are now three kinds of state: (1) Work state. This is an execution state. No event processing is performed by a work state. The function attached to a work state returns a pointer indicating the next state to which the OSM should transition. Returning NO_TRANSIT repeats the current state, but goes back to the scheduler first. (2) Wait state. This is an event processing state. No execution is performed by a wait state. Wait states are just tables of "if event X occurs, clear it and transition to state Y". The dispatcher returns to the scheduler if none of the events in which the wait state has an interest are currently pending. (3) Out-of-band state. This is a special work state. Transitions to normal states can be overridden when an unexpected event occurs (eg. I/O error). Instead the dispatcher disables and clears the OOB event and transits to the specified work state. This then acts as an ordinary work state, though object->state points to the overridden destination. Returning NO_TRANSIT resumes the overridden transition. In addition, the states have names in their definitions, so there's no need for tables of state names. Further, the EV_REQUEUE event is no longer necessary as that is automatic for work states. Since the states are now separate structs rather than values in an enum, it's not possible to use comparisons other than (non-)equality between them, so use some object->flags to indicate what phase an object is in. The EV_RELEASE, EV_RETIRE and EV_WITHDRAW events have been squished into one (EV_KILL). An object flag now carries the information about retirement. Similarly, the RELEASING, RECYCLING and WITHDRAWING states have been merged into an KILL_OBJECT state and additional states have been added for handling waiting dependent objects (JUMPSTART_DEPS and KILL_DEPENDENTS). A state has also been added for synchronising with parent object initialisation (WAIT_FOR_PARENT) and another for initiating look up (PARENT_READY).

hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators

2013-02-28T03:10:24Z

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.
