Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:

 - Fix DM core retrieve_deps() UAF race due to missing locking of a DM
   table's list of devices that is managed using dm_{get,put}_device.

 - Revert DM core's half-baked RCU optimization if IO submitter has set
   REQ_NOWAIT. Can be revisited, and properly justified, after
   comprehensively auditing all of DM to also pass GFP_NOWAIT for any
   allocations if REQ_NOWAIT used.

dm looks up the table for IO based on the request type, with an
assumption that if the request is marked REQ_NOWAIT, it's fine to
attempt to submit that IO while under RCU read lock protection. This
is not OK, as REQ_NOWAIT just means that we should not be sleeping
waiting on other IO, it does not mean that we can't potentially
schedule.

A simple test case demonstrates this quite nicely:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        struct iovec iov;
        int fd;

        fd = open("/dev/dm-0", O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT);
        posix_memalign(&amp;iov.iov_base, 4096, 4096);
        iov.iov_len = 4096;
        preadv2(fd, &amp;iov, 1, 0, RWF_NOWAIT);
        return 0;
}

which will instantly spew:

where in fact it is dm itself that attempts to allocate a bio clone with
GFP_NOIO under the rcu read lock, regardless of the request type.

Fix this by getting rid of the special casing for REQ_NOWAIT, and just
use the normal SRCU protected table lookup. Get rid of the bio based
table locking helpers at the same time, as they are now unused.

<title>dm: fix a race condition in retrieve_deps</title>

<content type='text'>
There's a race condition in the multipath target when retrieve_deps
races with multipath_message calling dm_get_device and dm_put_device.
retrieve_deps walks the list of open devices without holding any lock
but multipath may add or remove devices to the list while it is
running. The end result may be memory corruption or use-after-free
memory access.

See this description of a UAF with multipath_message():
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2022-October/052373.html

Fix this bug by introducing a new rw semaphore "devices_lock". We grab
devices_lock for read in retrieve_deps and we grab it for write in
dm_get_device and dm_put_device.

That's because the new code was inserted before the struct.
The change is move the struct command above this commit.

Commit a1d767191096 ("md: use mddev-&gt;external to select holder in
export_rdev()") fix the problem that 'claim_rdev' is used for
blkdev_get_by_dev() while 'rdev' is used for blkdev_put().

However, if mddev-&gt;external is changed from 0 to 1, then 'rdev' is used
for blkdev_get_by_dev() while 'claim_rdev' is used for blkdev_put(). And
this problem can be reporduced reliably by following:

New file: mdadm/tests/23rdev-lifetime

devname=${dev0##*/}
devt=`cat /sys/block/$devname/dev`
pid=""
runtime=2

clean_up_test() {
        pill -9 $pid
        echo clear &gt; /sys/block/md0/md/array_state
}

trap 'clean_up_test' EXIT

add_by_sysfs() {
        while true; do
                echo $devt &gt; /sys/block/md0/md/new_dev
        done
}

remove_by_sysfs(){
        while true; do
                echo remove &gt; /sys/block/md0/md/dev-${devname}/state
        done
}

echo md0 &gt; /sys/module/md_mod/parameters/new_array || die "create md0 failed"

Except for initial reference, mddev-&gt;kobject is referenced by
rdev-&gt;kobject, and if the last rdev is freed, there is no guarantee that
mddev is still valid. Hence mddev should not be used anymore after
export_rdev().

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=cc22b5407e9ca76adb7efeed843146510b1b72a5'/>
<id>cc22b5407e9ca76adb7efeed843146510b1b72a5</id>
<content type='text'>
When a bio is split by md raid0, the newly created bio will not be tracked
by md for I/O accounting. Only the portion of I/O still assigned to the
original bio which was reduced by the split will be accounted for. This
results in md iostat data sometimes showing I/O values far below the actual
amount of data being sent through md.

md_account_bio() needs to be called for all bio generated by the bio split.

A simple example of the issue was generated using a raid0 device on partitions
to the same device. Since all raid0 I/O then goes to one device, it makes it
easy to see a gap between the md device and its sd storage. Reading an lvm
device on top of the md device, the iostat output (some 0 columns and extra
devices removed to make the data more compact) was:

I/O was generated doing large direct I/O reads (12M) with dd to a linear
lvm volume on top of the 4 leg raid0 device.

The md2 reads were showing as roughly 2/3 of the reads to the sde device
containing all of md2's raid partitions. The sum of reads to sde was
1826816 kB, which was the expected amount as it was the amount read by
dd. With the patch, the total reads from md will match the reads from
sde and be consistent with the amount of I/O generated.

When a bio is split by md raid0, the newly created bio will not be tracked
by md for I/O accounting. Only the portion of I/O still assigned to the
original bio which was reduced by the split will be accounted for. This
results in md iostat data sometimes showing I/O values far below the actual
amount of data being sent through md.

md_account_bio() needs to be called for all bio generated by the bio split.

A simple example of the issue was generated using a raid0 device on partitions
to the same device. Since all raid0 I/O then goes to one device, it makes it
easy to see a gap between the md device and its sd storage. Reading an lvm
device on top of the md device, the iostat output (some 0 columns and extra
devices removed to make the data more compact) was:

Commit f00d7c85be9e ("md/raid0: fix up bio splitting.") among other
things changed how bio that needs to be split is submitted. Before this
commit, we have split the bio, mapped and submitted each part. After
this commit, we map only the first part of the split bio and submit the
second part unmapped. Due to bio sorting in __submit_bio_noacct() this
results in the following request ordering:

  9,0   18     1181     0.525037895 15995  Q  WS 1479315464 + 63392

  Split off chunk-sized (1024 sectors) request:

  9,0   18     1182     0.629019647 15995  X  WS 1479315464 / 1479316488

  Request is unaligned to the chunk so it's split in
  raid0_make_request().  This is the first part mapped and punted to
  bio_list:

  8,0   18     7053     0.629020455 15995  A  WS 739921928 + 1016 &lt;- (9,0) 1479315464

  Now raid0_make_request() returns, second part is postponed on
  bio_list. __submit_bio_noacct() resorts the bio_list, mapped request
  is submitted to the underlying device:

  8,0   18     7054     0.629022782 15995  G  WS 739921928 + 1016

  Now we take another request from the bio_list which is the remainder
  of the original huge request. Split off another chunk-sized bit from
  it and the situation repeats:

  9,0   18     1183     0.629024499 15995  X  WS 1479316488 / 1479317512
  8,16  18     6998     0.629025110 15995  A  WS 739921928 + 1016 &lt;- (9,0) 1479316488
  8,16  18     6999     0.629026728 15995  G  WS 739921928 + 1016
  ...
  9,0   18     1184     0.629032940 15995  X  WS 1479317512 / 1479318536 [libnetacq-write]
  8,0   18     7059     0.629033294 15995  A  WS 739922952 + 1016 &lt;- (9,0) 1479317512
  8,0   18     7060     0.629033902 15995  G  WS 739922952 + 1016
  ...

  This repeats until we consume the whole original huge request. Now we
  finally get to processing the second parts of the split off requests
  (in reverse order):

  8,16  18     7181     0.629161384 15995  A  WS 739952640 + 8 &lt;- (9,0) 1479377920
  8,0   18     7239     0.629162140 15995  A  WS 739952640 + 8 &lt;- (9,0) 1479376896
  8,16  18     7186     0.629163881 15995  A  WS 739951616 + 8 &lt;- (9,0) 1479375872
  8,0   18     7242     0.629164421 15995  A  WS 739951616 + 8 &lt;- (9,0) 1479374848
  ...

I guess it is obvious that this IO pattern is extremely inefficient way
to perform sequential IO. It also makes bio_list to grow to rather long
lengths.

Change raid0_make_request() to map both parts of the split bio. Since we
know we are provided with at most chunk-sized bios, we will always need
to split the incoming bio at most once.
