configfs: Fix race between create_link and configfs_rmdir

2017-09-15T17:30:53+00:00

commit ba80aa909c99802c428682c352b0ee0baac0acd3 upstream. This patch closes a long standing race in configfs between the creation of a new symlink in create_link(), while the symlink target's config_item is being concurrently removed via configfs_rmdir(). This can happen because the symlink target's reference is obtained by config_item_get() in create_link() before the CONFIGFS_USET_DROPPING bit set by configfs_detach_prep() during configfs_rmdir() shutdown is actually checked.. This originally manifested itself on ppc64 on v4.8.y under heavy load using ibmvscsi target ports with Novalink API: [ 7877.289863] rpadlpar_io: slot U8247.22L.212A91A-V1-C8 added [ 7879.893760] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 7879.893768] WARNING: CPU: 15 PID: 17585 at ./include/linux/kref.h:46 config_item_get+0x7c/0x90 [configfs] [ 7879.893811] CPU: 15 PID: 17585 Comm: targetcli Tainted: G O 4.8.17-customv2.22 #12 [ 7879.893812] task: c00000018a0d3400 task.stack: c0000001f3b40000 [ 7879.893813] NIP: d000000002c664ec LR: d000000002c60980 CTR: c000000000b70870 [ 7879.893814] REGS: c0000001f3b43810 TRAP: 0700 Tainted: G O (4.8.17-customv2.22) [ 7879.893815] MSR: 8000000000029033 CR: 28222242 XER: 00000000 [ 7879.893820] CFAR: d000000002c664bc SOFTE: 1 GPR00: d000000002c60980 c0000001f3b43a90 d000000002c70908 c0000000fbc06820 GPR04: c0000001ef1bd900 0000000000000004 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 GPR08: 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 d000000002c69560 d000000002c66d80 GPR12: c000000000b70870 c00000000e798700 c0000001f3b43ca0 c0000001d4949d40 GPR16: c00000014637e1c0 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 c0000000f2392940 GPR20: c0000001f3b43b98 0000000000000041 0000000000600000 0000000000000000 GPR24: fffffffffffff000 0000000000000000 d000000002c60be0 c0000001f1dac490 GPR28: 0000000000000004 0000000000000000 c0000001ef1bd900 c0000000f2392940 [ 7879.893839] NIP [d000000002c664ec] config_item_get+0x7c/0x90 [configfs] [ 7879.893841] LR [d000000002c60980] check_perm+0x80/0x2e0 [configfs] [ 7879.893842] Call Trace: [ 7879.893844] [c0000001f3b43ac0] [d000000002c60980] check_perm+0x80/0x2e0 [configfs] [ 7879.893847] [c0000001f3b43b10] [c000000000329770] do_dentry_open+0x2c0/0x460 [ 7879.893849] [c0000001f3b43b70] [c000000000344480] path_openat+0x210/0x1490 [ 7879.893851] [c0000001f3b43c80] [c00000000034708c] do_filp_open+0xfc/0x170 [ 7879.893853] [c0000001f3b43db0] [c00000000032b5bc] do_sys_open+0x1cc/0x390 [ 7879.893856] [c0000001f3b43e30] [c000000000009584] system_call+0x38/0xec [ 7879.893856] Instruction dump: [ 7879.893858] 409d0014 38210030 e8010010 7c0803a6 4e800020 3d220000 e94981e0 892a0000 [ 7879.893861] 2f890000 409effe0 39200001 992a0000 <0fe00000> 4bffffd0 60000000 60000000 [ 7879.893866] ---[ end trace 14078f0b3b5ad0aa ]--- To close this race, go ahead and obtain the symlink's target config_item reference only after the existing CONFIGFS_USET_DROPPING check succeeds.

configfs: fix race between dentry put and lookup

2014-01-03T04:33:24+00:00

commit 76ae281f6307331aa063288edb6422ae99f435f0 upstream. A race window in configfs, it starts from one dentry is UNHASHED and end before configfs_d_iput is called. In this window, if a lookup happen, since the original dentry was UNHASHED, so a new dentry will be allocated, and then in configfs_attach_attr(), sd->s_dentry will be updated to the new dentry. Then in configfs_d_iput(), BUG_ON(sd->s_dentry != dentry) will be triggered and system panic. sys_open: sys_close: ... fput dput dentry_kill __d_drop <--- dentry unhashed here, but sd->dentry still point to this dentry. lookup_real configfs_lookup configfs_attach_attr---> update sd->s_dentry to new allocated dentry here. d_kill configfs_d_iput <--- BUG_ON(sd->s_dentry != dentry) triggered here. To fix it, change configfs_d_iput to not update sd->s_dentry if sd->s_count > 2, that means there are another dentry is using the sd beside the one that is going to be put. Use configfs_dirent_lock in configfs_attach_attr to sync with configfs_d_iput. With the following steps, you can reproduce the bug. 1. enable ocfs2, this will mount configfs at /sys/kernel/config and fill configure in it. 2. run the following script. while [ 1 ]; do cat /sys/kernel/config/cluster/$your_cluster_name/idle_timeout_ms > /dev/null; done & while [ 1 ]; do cat /sys/kernel/config/cluster/$your_cluster_name/idle_timeout_ms > /dev/null; done & Signed-off-by: Junxiao Bi Cc: Joel Becker Cc: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

doc: fix broken references

2011-09-27T16:08:04+00:00

There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd. Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text they were part of. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina

vfs: push dentry_unhash on rmdir into file systems

2011-05-26T11:26:47+00:00

Only a few file systems need this. Start by pushing it down into each fs rmdir method (except gfs2 and xfs) so it can be dealt with on a per-fs basis. This does not change behavior for any in-tree file systems. Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Sage Weil Signed-off-by: Al Viro

configfs: Fix race between configfs_readdir() and configfs_d_iput()

2011-05-18T11:08:16+00:00

configfs_readdir() will use the existing inode numbers of inodes in the dcache, but it makes them up for attribute files that aren't currently instantiated. There is a race where a closing attribute file can be tearing down at the same time as configfs_readdir() is trying to get its inode number. We want to get the inode number of open attribute files, because they should match while instantiated. We can't lock down the transition where dentry->d_inode is set to NULL, so we just check for NULL there. We can, however, ensure that an inode we find isn't iput() in configfs_d_iput() until after we've accessed it. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker

configfs: Don't try to d_delete() negative dentries.

2011-05-18T10:30:58+00:00

When configfs is faking mkdir() on its subsystem or default group objects, it starts by adding a negative dentry. It then tries to instantiate the group. If that should fail, it must clean up after itself. I was using d_delete() here, but configfs_attach_group() promises to return an empty dentry on error. d_delete() explodes with the entry dentry. Let's try d_drop() instead. The unhashing is what we want for our dentry. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker
