md/raid1: fix NULL pointer dereference

2018-05-30T05:47:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3de59bb9d551428cbdc76a9ea57883f82e350b4d ]

In handle_write_finished(), if r1_bio->bios[m] != NULL, it thinks
the corresponding conf->mirrors[m].rdev is also not NULL. But, it
is not always true.

Even if some io hold replacement rdev(i.e. rdev->nr_pending.count > 0),
raid1_remove_disk() can also set the rdev as NULL. That means,
bios[m] != NULL, but mirrors[m].rdev is NULL, resulting in NULL
pointer dereference in handle_write_finished and sync_request_write.

This patch can fix BUGs as follows:

md: don't use flush_signals in userspace processes

2017-07-27T22:03:26+00:00

commit f9c79bc05a2a91f4fba8bfd653579e066714b1ec upstream.

The function flush_signals clears all pending signals for the process. It
may be used by kernel threads when we need to prepare a kernel thread for
responding to signals. However using this function for an userspaces
processes is incorrect - clearing signals without the program expecting it
can cause misbehavior.

The raid1 and raid5 code uses flush_signals in its request routine because
it wants to prepare for an interruptible wait. This patch drops
flush_signals and uses sigprocmask instead to block all signals (including
SIGKILL) around the schedule() call. The signals are not lost, but the
schedule() call won't respond to them.

md/raid1: avoid reusing a resync bio after error handling.

2017-05-20T12:18:42+00:00

commit 0c9d5b127f695818c2c5a3868c1f28ca2969e905 upstream.

fix_sync_read_error() modifies a bio on a newly faulty
device by setting bi_end_io to end_sync_write.
This ensure that put_buf() will still call rdev_dec_pending()
as required, but makes sure that subsequent code in
fix_sync_read_error() doesn't try to read from the device.

Unfortunately this interacts badly with sync_request_write()
which assumes that any bio with bi_end_io set to non-NULL
other than end_sync_read is safe to write to.

As the device is now faulty it doesn't make sense to write.
As the bio was recently used for a read, it is "dirty"
and not suitable for immediate submission.
In particular, ->bi_next might be non-NULL, which will cause
generic_make_request() to complain.

Break this interaction by refusing to write to devices
which are marked as Faulty.

md:raid1: fix a dead loop when read from a WriteMostly disk

2017-05-08T05:44:07+00:00

commit 816b0acf3deb6d6be5d0519b286fdd4bafade905 upstream.

If first_bad == this_sector when we get the WriteMostly disk
in read_balance(), valid disk will be returned with zero
max_sectors. It'll lead to a dead loop in make_request(), and
OOM will happen because of endless allocation of struct bio.

Since we can't get data from this disk in this case, so
continue for another disk.

md/raid1: fix test for 'was read error from last working device'.

2015-08-27T17:25:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit 34cab6f42003cb06f48f86a86652984dec338ae9 ]

When we get a read error from the last working device, we don't
try to repair it, and don't fail the device.  We simple report a
read error to the caller.

However the current test for 'is this the last working device' is
wrong.
When there is only one fully working device, it assumes that a
non-faulty device is that device.  However a spare which is rebuilding
would be non-faulty but so not the only working device.

So change the test from "!Faulty" to "In_sync".  If ->degraded says
there is only one fully working device and this device is in_sync,
this must be the one.

This bug has existed since we allowed read_balance to read from
a recovering spare in v3.0

md/raid1: extend spinlock to protect raid1_end_read_request against inconsistencies

2015-08-27T17:25:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 423f04d63cf421ea436bcc5be02543d549ce4b28 ]

raid1_end_read_request() assumes that the In_sync bits are consistent
with the ->degaded count.
raid1_spare_active updates the In_sync bit before the ->degraded count
and so exposes an inconsistency, as does error()
So extend the spinlock in raid1_spare_active() and error() to hide those
inconsistencies.

This should probably be part of
  Commit: 34cab6f42003 ("md/raid1: fix test for 'was read error from
  last working device'.")
as it addresses the same issue.  It fixes the same bug and should go
to -stable for same reasons.

md/raid1: fix read balance when a drive is write-mostly.

2015-03-06T22:53:05+00:00

commit d1901ef099c38afd11add4cfb3312c02ef21ec4a upstream.

When a drive is marked write-mostly it should only be the
target of reads if there is no other option.

This behaviour was broken by

commit 9dedf60313fa4dddfd5b9b226a0ef12a512bf9dc
    md/raid1: read balance chooses idlest disk for SSD

which causes a write-mostly device to be *preferred* is some cases.

Restore correct behaviour by checking and setting
best_dist_disk and best_pending_disk rather than best_disk.

We only need to test one of these as they are both changed
from -1 or >=0 at the same time.

As we leave min_pending and best_dist unchanged, any non-write-mostly
device will appear better than the write-mostly device.
