loop: prevent bdev freeing while device in use

2013-04-10T02:20:09+00:00

commit c1681bf8a7b1b98edee8b862a42c19c4e53205fd upstream.

struct block_device lifecycle is defined by its inode (see fs/block_dev.c) -
block_device allocated first time we access /dev/loopXX and deallocated on
bdev_destroy_inode. When we create the device "losetup /dev/loopXX afile"
we want that block_device stay alive until we destroy the loop device
with "losetup -d".

But because we do not hold /dev/loopXX inode its counter goes 0, and
inode/bdev can be destroyed at any moment. Usually it happens at memory
pressure or when user drops inode cache (like in the test below). When later in
loop_clr_fd() we want to use bdev we have use-after-free error with following
stack:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000280
  bd_set_size+0x10/0xa0
  loop_clr_fd+0x1f8/0x420 [loop]
  lo_ioctl+0x200/0x7e0 [loop]
  lo_compat_ioctl+0x47/0xe0 [loop]
  compat_blkdev_ioctl+0x341/0x1290
  do_filp_open+0x42/0xa0
  compat_sys_ioctl+0xc1/0xf20
  do_sys_open+0x16e/0x1d0
  sysenter_dispatch+0x7/0x1a

To prevent use-after-free we need to grab the device in loop_set_fd()
and put it later in loop_clr_fd().

The issue is reprodusible on current Linus head and v3.3. Here is the test:

  dd if=/dev/zero of=loop.file bs=1M count=1
  while [ true ]; do
    losetup /dev/loop0 loop.file
    echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
    losetup -d /dev/loop0
  done

[ Doing bdgrab/bput in loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd is safe, because every
  time we call loop_set_fd() we check that loop_device->lo_state is
  Lo_unbound and set it to Lo_bound If somebody will try to set_fd again
  it will get EBUSY.  And if we try to loop_clr_fd() on unbound loop
  device we'll get ENXIO.

  loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd (and any other loop ioctl) is called under
  loop_device->lo_ctl_mutex. ]

loopdev: remove an user triggerable oops

2013-03-20T15:03:40+00:00

commit b1a6650406875b9097a032eed89af50682fe1160 upstream.

When loopdev is built as module and we pass an invalid parameter,
loop_init() will return directly without deregister misc device, which
will cause an oops when insert loop module next time because we left some
garbage in the misc device list.

Test case:
sudo modprobe loop max_part=1024
(failed due to invalid parameter)
sudo modprobe loop
(oops)

Clean up nicely to avoid such oops.

loopdev: fix a deadlock

2013-03-20T15:03:40+00:00

commit 5370019dc2d2c2ff90e95d181468071362934f3a upstream.

bd_mutex and lo_ctl_mutex can be held in different order.

Path #1:

blkdev_open
 blkdev_get
  __blkdev_get (hold bd_mutex)
   lo_open (hold lo_ctl_mutex)

Path #2:

blkdev_ioctl
 lo_ioctl (hold lo_ctl_mutex)
  lo_set_capacity (hold bd_mutex)

Lockdep does not report it, because path #2 actually holds a subclass of
lo_ctl_mutex.  This subclass seems creep into the code by mistake.  The
patch author actually just mentioned it in the changelog, see commit
f028f3b2 ("loop: fix circular locking in loop_clr_fd()"), also see:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123806169129727&w=2

Path #2 hold bd_mutex to call bd_set_size(), I've protected it
with i_mutex in a previous patch, so drop bd_mutex at this site.

loop: Fix discard_alignment default setting

2011-12-02T13:47:03+00:00

discard_alignment is not relevant to the loop driver since it is
supposed to be set as a workaround for the old sector 63 alignments.
So set it to zero rather than block size.

loop: cleanup set_status interface

2011-11-16T08:21:49+00:00

1) Anyone who has read access to loopdev has permission to call set_status
   and may change important parameters such as lo_offset, lo_sizelimit and
   so on, which contradicts to read access pattern and definitely equals
   to write access pattern.
2) Add lo_offset over i_size check to prevent blkdev_size overflow.
   ##Testcase_bagin
   #dd if=/dev/zero of=./file bs=1k count=1
   #losetup /dev/loop0 ./file
   /* userspace_application */
   struct loop_info64 loinf;
   fd = open("/dev/loop0", O_RDONLY);
   ioctl(fd, LOOP_GET_STATUS64, &loinf);
   /* Set offset to any value which is bigger than i_size, and sizelimit
    * to nonzero value*/
   loinf.lo_offset = 4096*1024;
   loinf.lo_sizelimit = 1024;
   ioctl(fd, LOOP_SET_STATUS64, &loinf);
   /* After this loop device will have size similar to 0x7fffffffffxxxx */
   #blockdev --getsz /dev/loop0

loop: prevent information leak after failed read

2011-11-16T08:21:48+00:00

If read was not fully successful we have to fail whole bio to prevent
information leak of old pages

##Testcase_begin
dd if=/dev/zero of=./file bs=1M count=1
losetup /dev/loop0 ./file -o 4096
truncate -s 0 ./file
# OOps loop offset is now beyond i_size, so read will silently fail.
# So bio's pages would not be cleared, may which result in information leak.
hexdump -C /dev/loop0
