writeback, cgroup: fix null-ptr-deref write in bdi_split_work_to_wbs

If the allocation of new work fails, the on-stack fallback will be used and the reference count of the current wb is increased afterwards. If cgroup writeback membership switches occur before getting the reference count and the current wb is released as old_wd, then calling wb_get() or wb_put() will trigger the null pointer dereference above. This issue was introduced in v4.3-rc7 (see fix tag1). Both sync_inodes_sb() and __writeback_inodes_sb_nr() calls to bdi_split_work_to_wbs() can trigger this issue. For scenarios called via sync_inodes_sb(), originally commit 7fc5854f8c6e ("writeback: synchronize sync(2) against cgroup writeback membership switches") reduced the possibility of the issue by adding wb_switch_rwsem, but in v5.14-rc1 (see fix tag2) removed the "inode_io_list_del_locked(inode, old_wb)" from inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() so that wb->state contains WB_has_dirty_io, thus old_wb is not skipped when traversing wbs in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(), and the issue becomes easily reproducible again. To solve this problem, percpu_ref_exit() is called under RCU protection to avoid race between cgwb_release_workfn() and bdi_split_work_to_wbs(). Moreover, replace wb_get() with wb_tryget() in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(), and skip the current wb if wb_tryget() fails because the wb has already been shutdown.

writeback: avoid use-after-free after removing device

2022-08-28T21:02:43Z

When a disk is removed, bdi_unregister gets called to stop further writeback and wait for associated delayed work to complete. However, wb_inode_writeback_end() may schedule bandwidth estimation dwork after this has completed, which can result in the timer attempting to access the just freed bdi_writeback. Fix this by checking if the bdi_writeback is alive, similar to when scheduling writeback work. Since this requires wb->work_lock, and wb_inode_writeback_end() may get called from interrupt, switch wb->work_lock to an irqsafe lock.

init: Initialize noop_backing_dev_info early

2022-06-16T08:55:57Z

noop_backing_dev_info is used by superblocks of various pseudofilesystems such as kdevtmpfs. After commit 10e14073107d ("writeback: Fix inode->i_io_list not be protected by inode->i_lock error") this broke because __mark_inode_dirty() started to access more fields from noop_backing_dev_info and this led to crashes inside locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() called from __mark_inode_dirty(). Fix the problem by initializing noop_backing_dev_info before the filesystems get mounted.

Move these two functions out of line as there is no good reason to inline them. Also switch to passing a cgroup_subsys_state instead of doing the conversion in the caller to prepare for making the blkcg structure private to blk-cgroup.

mm: bdi: initialize bdi_min_ratio when bdi is unregistered

2021-12-11T01:10:56Z

Initialize min_ratio if it is set during bdi unregistration. This can prevent problems that may occur a when bdi is removed without resetting min_ratio. For example. 1) insert external sdcard 2) set external sdcard's min_ratio 70 3) remove external sdcard without setting min_ratio 0 4) insert external sdcard 5) set external sdcard's min_ratio 70 << error occur(can't set) Because when an sdcard is removed, the present bdi_min_ratio value will remain. Currently, the only way to reset bdi_min_ratio is to reboot.
