f2fs: cache: pin cached block in f2fs_unlock_cache()
During asynchronous read readahead (e.g., in f2fs_ra_node_cache()), the
caller drops its own reference via f2fs_put_cache(entry, false) immediately
after issuing the read bio, leaving only the radix tree holding an active
reference during I/O flight.
In f2fs_unlock_cache(), clear_and_wake_up_bit() executes two steps:
1. clear_bit_unlock(F2FS_BLOCK_LOCKED, &entry->state): clears the bit.
2. wake_up_bit(&entry->state, F2FS_BLOCK_LOCKED): hashes &entry->state
to find the waitqueue and wake sleeping waiters.
Once step 1 clears the bit, a concurrent waiter in f2fs_lock_cache()
(such as in f2fs_truncate_cache() or f2fs_drop_cache()) is immediately
unblocked. The waiter can acquire the lock, delete the entry from the
radix tree, drop the remaining reference, and kfree() the entry before
step 2 completes. This causes wake_up_bit() to dereference freed memory:
CPU 0 (Read I/O completion) CPU 1 (f2fs_drop_cache / Truncation)
- f2fs_cache_read_end_io()
- f2fs_unlock_cache(entry)
- clear_and_wake_up_bit()
- clear_bit_unlock(LOCKED)
: bit is cleared!
- f2fs_lock_cache(entry)
: acquires lock!
- f2fs_truncate_locked_cache(entry)
- radix_tree_delete(&cache->root, ...)
- entry->cache = NULL;
- atomic_dec(&entry->refcount);
- f2fs_unlock_cache(entry);
- f2fs_put_cache(entry, false);
- atomic_dec_and_test(&refcount) == 0
- f2fs_do_free_cache(entry)
- kfree(entry->data);
- kfree(entry); <--- FREED!
- smp_mb__after_atomic()
- wake_up_bit(&entry->state, ...)
: Dereferences &entry->state on freed entry! (UAF)
Like commit ("f2fs: cache: pin cached block in f2fs_end_cache_writeback()"),
acquire a temporary reference via f2fs_cache_get() before clear_and_wake_up_bit()
and release it with f2fs_cache_put() once wake_up_bit() completes.
This fixes commit 399410a90ca7 ("f2fs: cache: implement metadata cache")
