zram: refuse to use zero sized block device as backing device

2025-01-09T12:28:34+00:00

commit be48c412f6ebf38849213c19547bc6d5b692b5e5 upstream.

Patch series "zram: fix backing device setup issue", v2.

This series fixes two bugs of backing device setting:

- ZRAM should reject using a zero sized (or the uninitialized ZRAM
  device itself) as the backing device.
- Fix backing device leaking when removing a uninitialized ZRAM
  device.


This patch (of 2):

Setting a zero sized block device as backing device is pointless, and one
can easily create a recursive loop by setting the uninitialized ZRAM
device itself as its own backing device by (zram0 is uninitialized):

    echo /dev/zram0 > /sys/block/zram0/backing_dev

It's definitely a wrong config, and the module will pin itself, kernel
should refuse doing so in the first place.

By refusing to use zero sized device we avoided misuse cases including
this one above.

zram: do not lookup algorithm in backends table

2022-08-25T09:40:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit dc89997264de565999a1cb55db3f295d3a8e457b ]

Always use crypto_has_comp() so that crypto can lookup module, call
usermodhelper to load the modules, wait for usermodhelper to finish and so
on.  Otherwise crypto will do all of these steps under CPU hot-plug lock
and this looks like too much stuff to handle under the CPU hot-plug lock.
Besides this can end up in a deadlock when usermodhelper triggers a code
path that attempts to lock the CPU hot-plug lock, that zram already holds.

An example of such deadlock:

- path A. zram grabs CPU hot-plug lock, execs /sbin/modprobe from crypto
  and waits for modprobe to finish

disksize_store
 zcomp_create
  __cpuhp_state_add_instance
   __cpuhp_state_add_instance_cpuslocked
    zcomp_cpu_up_prepare
     crypto_alloc_base
      crypto_alg_mod_lookup
       call_usermodehelper_exec
        wait_for_completion_killable
         do_wait_for_common
          schedule

- path B. async work kthread that brings in scsi device. It wants to
  register CPUHP states at some point, and it needs the CPU hot-plug
  lock for that, which is owned by zram.

async_run_entry_fn
 scsi_probe_and_add_lun
  scsi_mq_alloc_queue
   blk_mq_init_queue
    blk_mq_init_allocated_queue
     blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs
      __cpuhp_state_add_instance
       __cpuhp_state_add_instance_cpuslocked
        mutex_lock
         schedule

- path C. modprobe sleeps, waiting for all aync works to finish.

load_module
 do_init_module
  async_synchronize_full
   async_synchronize_cookie_domain
    schedule

zram: off by one in read_block_state()

2021-11-18T18:17:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit a88e03cf3d190cf46bc4063a9b7efe87590de5f4 ]

snprintf() returns the number of bytes it would have printed if there
were space.  But it does not count the NUL terminator.  So that means
that if "count == copied" then this has already overflowed by one
character.

This bug likely isn't super harmful in real life.

zram: move backing_dev under macro CONFIG_ZRAM_WRITEBACK

2021-07-01T18:06:02+00:00

backing_dev is never used when not enable CONFIG_ZRAM_WRITEBACK and it's
introduced from writeback feature.  So it's needless also affect
readability in that case.

block: move bd_mutex to struct gendisk

Replace the per-block device bd_mutex with a per-gendisk open_mutex,
thus simplifying locking wherever we deal with partitions.

zram: fix broken page writeback

2021-03-13T19:27:31+00:00

commit 0d8359620d9b ("zram: support page writeback") introduced two
problems.  It overwrites writeback_store's return value as kstrtol's
return value, which makes return value zero so user could see zero as
return value of write syscall even though it wrote data successfully.

It also breaks index value in the loop in that it doesn't increase the
index any longer.  It means it can write only first starting block index
so user couldn't write all idle pages in the zram so lose memory saving
chance.

This patch fixes those issues.

zram: fix return value on writeback_store

2021-03-13T19:27:31+00:00

writeback_store's return value is overwritten by submit_bio_wait's return
value.  Thus, writeback_store will return zero since there was no IO
error.  In the end, write syscall from userspace will see the zero as
return value, which could make the process stall to keep trying the write
until it will succeed.

zsmalloc: account the number of compacted pages correctly

2021-02-26T17:41:01+00:00

There exists multiple path may do zram compaction concurrently.
1. auto-compaction triggered during memory reclaim
2. userspace utils write zram/compaction node

So, multiple threads may call zs_shrinker_scan/zs_compact concurrently.
But pages_compacted is a per zsmalloc pool variable and modification
of the variable is not serialized(through under class->lock).
There are two issues here:
1. the pages_compacted may not equal to total number of pages
freed(due to concurrently add).
2. zs_shrinker_scan may not return the correct number of pages
freed(issued by current shrinker).

The fix is simple:
1. account the number of pages freed in zs_compact locally.
2. use actomic variable pages_compacted to accumulate total number.
