fscache: Fix reference overput in fscache_attach_object() error handling

2018-07-25T13:49:00Z

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! ...

VFS: Convert sb->s_flags & MS_RDONLY to sb_rdonly(sb)

2017-07-17T07:45:34Z

Firstly by applying the following with coccinelle's spatch: @@ expression SB; @@ -SB->s_flags & MS_RDONLY +sb_rdonly(SB) to effect the conversion to sb_rdonly(sb), then by applying: @@ expression A, SB; @@ ( -(!sb_rdonly(SB)) && A +!sb_rdonly(SB) && A | -A != (sb_rdonly(SB)) +A != sb_rdonly(SB) | -A == (sb_rdonly(SB)) +A == sb_rdonly(SB) | -!(sb_rdonly(SB)) +!sb_rdonly(SB) | -A && (sb_rdonly(SB)) +A && sb_rdonly(SB) | -A || (sb_rdonly(SB)) +A || sb_rdonly(SB) | -(sb_rdonly(SB)) != A +sb_rdonly(SB) != A | -(sb_rdonly(SB)) == A +sb_rdonly(SB) == A | -(sb_rdonly(SB)) && A +sb_rdonly(SB) && A | -(sb_rdonly(SB)) || A +sb_rdonly(SB) || A ) @@ expression A, B, SB; @@ ( -(sb_rdonly(SB)) ? 1 : 0 +sb_rdonly(SB) | -(sb_rdonly(SB)) ?

xattr: Add __vfs_{get,set,remove}xattr helpers

2016-10-08T00:10:44Z

Right now, various places in the kernel check for the existence of getxattr, setxattr, and removexattr inode operations and directly call those operations. Switch to helper functions and test for the IOP_XATTR flag instead. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher Acked-by: James Morris Signed-off-by: Al Viro
