nilfs2: fix sanity check of btree level in nilfs_btree_root_broken()

2015-05-17T16:55:06+00:00

commit d8fd150fe3935e1692bf57c66691e17409ebb9c1 upstream.

The range check for b-tree level parameter in nilfs_btree_root_broken()
is wrong; it accepts the case of "level == NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX" even
though the level is limited to values in the range of 0 to
(NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX - 1).

Since the level parameter is read from storage device and used to index
nilfs_btree_path array whose element count is NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX, it
can cause memory overrun during btree operations if the boundary value
is set to the level parameter on device.

This fixes the broken sanity check and adds a comment to clarify that
the upper bound NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX is exclusive.

nilfs2: fix deadlock of segment constructor during recovery

2015-03-13T01:46:08+00:00

According to a report from Yuxuan Shui, nilfs2 in kernel 3.19 got stuck
during recovery at mount time.  The code path that caused the deadlock was
as follows:

  nilfs_fill_super()
    load_nilfs()
      nilfs_salvage_orphan_logs()
        * Do roll-forwarding, attach segment constructor for recovery,
          and kick it.

        nilfs_segctor_thread()
          nilfs_segctor_thread_construct()
           * A lock is held with nilfs_transaction_lock()
             nilfs_segctor_do_construct()
               nilfs_segctor_drop_written_files()
                 iput()
                   iput_final()
                     write_inode_now()
                       writeback_single_inode()
                         __writeback_single_inode()
                           do_writepages()
                             nilfs_writepage()
                               nilfs_construct_dsync_segment()
                                 nilfs_transaction_lock() --> deadlock

This can happen if commit 7ef3ff2fea8b ("nilfs2: fix deadlock of segment
constructor over I_SYNC flag") is applied and roll-forward recovery was
performed at mount time.  The roll-forward recovery can happen if datasync
write is done and the file system crashes immediately after that.  For
instance, we can reproduce the issue with the following steps:

 < nilfs2 is mounted on /nilfs (device: /dev/sdb1) >
 # dd if=/dev/zero of=/nilfs/test bs=4k count=1 && sync
 # dd if=/dev/zero of=/nilfs/test conv=notrunc oflag=dsync bs=4k
 count=1 && reboot -nfh
 < the system will immediately reboot >
 # mount -t nilfs2 /dev/sdb1 /nilfs

The deadlock occurs because iput() can run segment constructor through
writeback_single_inode() if MS_ACTIVE flag is not set on sb->s_flags.  The
above commit changed segment constructor so that it calls iput()
asynchronously for inodes with i_nlink == 0, but that change was
imperfect.

This fixes the another deadlock by deferring iput() in segment constructor
even for the case that mount is not finished, that is, for the case that
MS_ACTIVE flag is not set.

nilfs2: fix potential memory overrun on inode

2015-02-28T17:57:51+00:00

Each inode of nilfs2 stores a root node of a b-tree, and it turned out to
have a memory overrun issue:

Each b-tree node of nilfs2 stores a set of key-value pairs and the number
of them (in "bn_nchildren" member of nilfs_btree_node struct), as well as
a few other "bn_*" members.

Since the value of "bn_nchildren" is used for operations on the key-values
within the b-tree node, it can cause memory access overrun if a large
number is incorrectly set to "bn_nchildren".

For instance, nilfs_btree_node_lookup() function determines the range of
binary search with it, and too large "bn_nchildren" leads
nilfs_btree_node_get_key() in that function to overrun.

As for intermediate b-tree nodes, this is prevented by a sanity check
performed when each node is read from a drive, however, no sanity check
has been done for root nodes stored in inodes.

This patch fixes the issue by adding missing sanity check against b-tree
root nodes so that it's called when on-memory inodes are read from ifile,
inode metadata file.

Merge branch 'for-3.20/bdi' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2015-02-12T21:50:21+00:00

Pull backing device changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This contains a cleanup of how the backing device is handled, in
  preparation for a rework of the life time rules.  In this part, the
  most important change is to split the unrelated nommu mmap flags from
  it, but also removing a backing_dev_info pointer from the
  address_space (and inode), and a cleanup of other various minor bits.

  Christoph did all the work here, I just fixed an oops with pages that
  have a swap backing.  Arnd fixed a missing export, and Oleg killed the
  lustre backing_dev_info from staging.  Last patch was from Al,
  unexporting parts that are now no longer needed outside"

nilfs2: fix deadlock of segment constructor over I_SYNC flag

2015-02-05T21:35:29+00:00

Nilfs2 eventually hangs in a stress test with fsstress program.  This
issue was caused by the following deadlock over I_SYNC flag between
nilfs_segctor_thread() and writeback_sb_inodes():

  nilfs_segctor_thread()
    nilfs_segctor_thread_construct()
      nilfs_segctor_unlock()
        nilfs_dispose_list()
          iput()
            iput_final()
              evict()
                inode_wait_for_writeback()  * wait for I_SYNC flag

  writeback_sb_inodes()
     * set I_SYNC flag on inode->i_state
    __writeback_single_inode()
      do_writepages()
        nilfs_writepages()
          nilfs_construct_dsync_segment()
            nilfs_segctor_sync()
               * wait for completion of segment constructor
    inode_sync_complete()
       * clear I_SYNC flag after __writeback_single_inode() completed

writeback_sb_inodes() calls do_writepages() for dirty inodes after
setting I_SYNC flag on inode->i_state.  do_writepages() in turn calls
nilfs_writepages(), which can run segment constructor and wait for its
completion.  On the other hand, segment constructor calls iput(), which
can call evict() and wait for the I_SYNC flag on
inode_wait_for_writeback().

Since segment constructor doesn't know when I_SYNC will be set, it
cannot know whether iput() will block or not unless inode->i_nlink has a
non-zero count.  We can prevent evict() from being called in iput() by
implementing sop->drop_inode(), but it's not preferable to leave inodes
with i_nlink == 0 for long periods because it even defers file
truncation and inode deallocation.  So, this instead resolves the
deadlock by calling iput() asynchronously with a workqueue for inodes
with i_nlink == 0.

Now that we never use the backing_dev_info pointer in struct address_space
we can simply remove it and save 4 to 8 bytes in every inode.

nilfs2: fix the nilfs_iget() vs. nilfs_new_inode() races

2014-12-11T01:41:16+00:00

Same story as in commit 41080b5a2401 ("nfsd race fixes: ext2") (similar
ext2 fix) except that nilfs2 needs to use insert_inode_locked4() instead
of insert_inode_locked() and a bug of a check for dead inodes needs to
be fixed.

If nilfs_iget() is called from nfsd after nilfs_new_inode() calls
insert_inode_locked4(), nilfs_iget() will wait for unlock_new_inode() at
the end of nilfs_mkdir()/nilfs_create()/etc to unlock the inode.

If nilfs_iget() is called before nilfs_new_inode() calls
insert_inode_locked4(), it will create an in-core inode and read its
data from the on-disk inode.  But, nilfs_iget() will find i_nlink equals
zero and fail at nilfs_read_inode_common(), which will lead it to call
iget_failed() and cleanly fail.

However, this sanity check doesn't work as expected for reused on-disk
inodes because they leave a non-zero value in i_mode field and it
hinders the test of i_nlink.  This patch also fixes the issue by
removing the test on i_mode that nilfs2 doesn't need.

nilfs2: deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "iput"

2014-12-11T01:41:16+00:00

The iput() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns
immediately.  Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
