commit 9480b4e75b7108ee68ecf5bc6b4bd68e8031c521 upstream.

If -&gt;readpage returns an error, it has already unlocked the page.

<title>cachefiles: Fix race between read_waiter and read_copier involving op-&gt;to_do</title>

[ Upstream commit 7bb0c5338436dae953622470d52689265867f032 ]

There is a potential race in fscache operation enqueuing for reading and
copying multiple pages from cachefiles to netfs.  The problem can be seen
easily on a heavy loaded system (for example many processes reading files
continually on an NFS share covered by fscache triggered this problem within
a few minutes).

The race is due to cachefiles_read_waiter() adding the op to the monitor
to_do list and then then drop the object-&gt;work_lock spinlock before
completing fscache_enqueue_operation().  Once the lock is dropped,
cachefiles_read_copier() grabs the op, completes processing it, and
makes it through fscache_retrieval_complete() which sets the op-&gt;state to
the final state of FSCACHE_OP_ST_COMPLETE(4).  When cachefiles_read_waiter()
finally gets through the remainder of fscache_enqueue_operation()
it sees the invalid state, and hits the ASSERTCMP and the following
oops is seen:

[ Upstream commit 9a24ce5b66f9c8190d63b15f4473600db4935f1f ]

[Description]

In a heavily loaded system where the system pagecache is nearing memory
limits and fscache is enabled, pages can be leaked by fscache while trying
read pages from cachefiles backend.  This can happen because two
applications can be reading same page from a single mount, two threads can
be trying to read the backing page at same time.  This results in one of
the threads finding that a page for the backing file or netfs file is
already in the radix tree.  During the error handling cachefiles does not
clean up the reference on backing page, leading to page leak.

[Fix]
The fix is straightforward, to decrement the reference when error is
encountered.

  [dhowells: Note that I've removed the clearance and put of newpage as
   they aren't attested in the commit message and don't appear to actually
   achieve anything since a new page is only allocated is newpage!=NULL and
   any residual new page is cleared before returning.]

[Testing]
I have tested the fix using following method for 12+ hrs.

1) mkdir -p /mnt/nfs ; mount -o vers=3,fsc &lt;server_ip&gt;:/export /mnt/nfs
2) create 10000 files of 2.8MB in a NFS mount.
3) start a thread to simulate heavy VM presssure
   (while true ; do echo 3 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches ; sleep 1 ; done)&amp;
4) start multiple parallel reader for data set at same time
   find /mnt/nfs -type f | xargs -P 80 cat &gt; /dev/null &amp;
   find /mnt/nfs -type f | xargs -P 80 cat &gt; /dev/null &amp;
   find /mnt/nfs -type f | xargs -P 80 cat &gt; /dev/null &amp;
   ..
   ..
   find /mnt/nfs -type f | xargs -P 80 cat &gt; /dev/null &amp;
   find /mnt/nfs -type f | xargs -P 80 cat &gt; /dev/null &amp;
5) finally check using cat /proc/fs/fscache/stats | grep -i pages ;
   free -h , cat /proc/meminfo and page-types -r -b lru
   to ensure all pages are freed.

<title>cachefiles: Fix an assertion failure when trying to update a failed object</title>

[ Upstream commit e6bc06faf64a83384cc0abc537df954c9d3ff942 ]

If cachefiles gets an error other then ENOENT when trying to look up an
object in the cache (in this case, EACCES), the object state machine will
eventually transition to the DROP_OBJECT state.

This state invokes fscache_drop_object() which tries to sync the auxiliary
data with the cache (this is done lazily since commit 402cb8dda949d) on an
incomplete cache object struct.

The problem comes when cachefiles_update_object_xattr() is called to
rewrite the xattr holding the data.  There's an assertion there that the
cache object points to a dentry as we're going to update its xattr.  The
assertion trips, however, as dentry didn't get set.

Fix the problem by skipping the update in cachefiles if the object doesn't
refer to a dentry.  A better way to do it could be to skip the update from
the DROP_OBJECT state handler in fscache, but that might deny the cache the
opportunity to update intermediate state.

If this error occurs, the kernel log includes lines that look like the
following:

 CacheFiles: Lookup failed error -13
 CacheFiles:
 CacheFiles: Assertion failed
 ------------[ cut here ]------------

Note that there are actually two issues here: (1) EACCES happened on a
cache object and (2) an oops occurred.  I think that the second is a
consequence of the first (it certainly looks like it ought to be).  This
patch only deals with the second.

the victim might've been rmdir'ed just before the lock_rename();
unlike the normal callers, we do not look the source up after the
parents are locked - we know it beforehand and just recheck that it's
still the child of what used to be its parent.  Unfortunately,
the check is too weak - we don't spot a dead directory since its
-&gt;d_parent is unchanged, dentry is positive, etc.  So we sail all
the way to -&gt;rename(), with hosting filesystems _not_ expecting
to be asked renaming an rmdir'ed subdirectory.

The fix is easy, fortunately - the lock on parent is sufficient for
making IS_DEADDIR() on child safe.

<title>cachefiles: Wait rather than BUG'ing on "Unexpected object collision"</title>

If we meet a conflicting object that is marked FSCACHE_OBJECT_IS_LIVE in
the active object tree, we have been emitting a BUG after logging
information about it and the new object.

Instead, we should wait for the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag to be cleared
on the old object (or return an error).  The ACTIVE flag should be cleared
after it has been removed from the active object tree.  A timeout of 60s is
used in the wait, so we shouldn't be able to get stuck there.

In cachefiles_mark_object_active(), the new object is marked active and
then we try to add it to the active object tree.  If a conflicting object
is already present, we want to wait for that to go away.  After the wait,
we go round again and try to re-mark the object as being active - but it's
already marked active from the first time we went through and a BUG is
issued.

Fix this by clearing the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag before we try again.

Analysis from Kiran Kumar Modukuri:

[Impact]
Oops during heavy NFS + FSCache + Cachefiles

CacheFiles: Error: Overlong wait for old active object to go away.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000002

CacheFiles: Error: Object already active kernel BUG at
fs/cachefiles/namei.c:163!

[Cause]
In a heavily loaded system with big files being read and truncated, an
fscache object for a cookie is being dropped and a new object being
looked. The new object being looked for has to wait for the old object
to go away before the new object is moved to active state.

[Fix]
Clear the flag 'CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE' for the new object when
retrying the object lookup.

[Testcase]
Have run ~100 hours of NFS stress tests and have not seen this bug recur.

[Regression Potential]
 - Limited to fscache/cachefiles.

<id>f29507ce66701084c39aeb1b0ae71690cbff3554</id>
<content type='text'>
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-&gt;usage is also decremented in following path:

      nfs_fscache_release_super_cookie
       -&gt; __fscache_relinquish_cookie
        -&gt;__fscache_cookie_put
        -&gt;BUG_ON(atomic_read(&amp;cookie-&gt;usage) &lt;= 0);

(2) A second thread tries to lookup an object for reading data in following
    path:

    fscache_alloc_object
    1) cachefiles_alloc_object
        -&gt; fscache_object_init
           -&gt; assign cookie, but usage not bumped.
    2) fscache_attach_object -&gt; fails in cant_attach_object because the
         cookie's backing object or cookie's-&gt;parent object are going away
    3) fscache_put_object
        -&gt; cachefiles_put_object
          -&gt;fscache_object_destroy
            -&gt;fscache_cookie_put
               -&gt;BUG_ON(atomic_read(&amp;cookie-&gt;usage) &lt;= 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!
    ...
    RIP: __fscache_cookie_put+0x3a/0x40 [fscache]

[Fix] Bump up the cookie usage in fscache_object_init, when it is first
being assigned a cookie atomically such that the cookie is added and bumped
up if its refcount is not zero.  Remove the assignment in

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-&gt;usage is also decremented in following path:

      nfs_fscache_release_super_cookie
       -&gt; __fscache_relinquish_cookie
        -&gt;__fscache_cookie_put
        -&gt;BUG_ON(atomic_read(&amp;cookie-&gt;usage) &lt;= 0);

(2) A second thread tries to lookup an object for reading data in following
    path:

    fscache_alloc_object
    1) cachefiles_alloc_object
        -&gt; fscache_object_init
           -&gt; assign cookie, but usage not bumped.
    2) fscache_attach_object -&gt; fails in cant_attach_object because the
         cookie's backing object or cookie's-&gt;parent object are going away
    3) fscache_put_object
        -&gt; cachefiles_put_object
          -&gt;fscache_object_destroy
            -&gt;fscache_cookie_put
               -&gt;BUG_ON(atomic_read(&amp;cookie-&gt;usage) &lt;= 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!

[Fix] Bump up the cookie usage in fscache_object_init, when it is first
being assigned a cookie atomically such that the cookie is added and bumped
up if its refcount is not zero.  Remove the assignment in
fscache_attach_object().
