16 years agomd: Protect access to mddev->disks list using RCU
NeilBrown [Mon, 21 Jul 2008 07:05:25 +0000 (17:05 +1000)]
md: Protect access to mddev->disks list using RCU

All modifications and most access to the mddev->disks list are made
under the reconfig_mutex lock.  However there are three places where
the list is walked without any locking.  If a reconfig happens at this
time, havoc (and oops) can ensue.

So use RCU to protect these accesses:
  - wrap them in rcu_read_{,un}lock()
  - use list_for_each_entry_rcu
  - add to the list with list_add_rcu
  - delete from the list with list_del_rcu
  - delay the 'free' with call_rcu rather than schedule_work

Note that export_rdev did a list_del_init on this list.  In almost all
cases the entry was not in the list anymore so it was a no-op and so
safe.  It is no longer safe as after list_del_rcu we may not touch
the list_head.
An audit shows that export_rdev is called:
  - after unbind_rdev_from_array, in which case the delete has
     already been done,
  - after bind_rdev_to_array fails, in which case the delete isn't needed.
  - before the device has been put on a list at all (e.g. in
      add_new_disk where reading the superblock fails).
  - and in autorun devices after a failure when the device is on a
      different list.

So remove the list_del_init call from export_rdev, and add it back
immediately before the called to export_rdev for that last case.

Note also that ->same_set is sometimes used for lists other than
mddev->list (e.g. candidates).  In these cases rcu is not needed.

tun: Persistent devices can get stuck in xoff state

The scenario goes like this. App stops reading from tun/tap.
TX queue gets full and driver does netif_stop_queue().
App closes fd and TX queue gets flushed as part of the cleanup.
Next time the app opens tun/tap and starts reading from it but
the xoff state is not cleared. We're stuck.
Normally xoff state is cleared when netdev is brought up. But
in the case of persistent devices this happens only during
initial setup.

The fix is trivial. If device is already up when an app opens

       rep stos %eax,%es:(%edi) <-- the fault

   So %ecx has been loaded from %edx... which is 0x6b6b6b6b/POISON_FREE.
   (0x6b6b6b6b >> 2 == 0x1adadada.)

   %ecx is the counter for the memset, from here:

       memset(object, 0, c->objsize);

  i.e. %ecx was loaded from c->objsize, so "c" must have been freed.
  Where did "c" come from? Uh-oh...

       c = get_cpu_slab(s, smp_processor_id());

  This looks like it has very much to do with CPU hotplug/unplug. Is
  there a race between SLUB/hotplug since the CPU slab is used after it
  has been freed?"

Good analysis.

Yeah, it's possible that a caller of kmem_cache_alloc() -> slab_alloc()
can be migrated on another CPU right after local_irq_restore() and
before memset().  The inital cpu can become offline in the mean time (or
a migration is a consequence of the CPU going offline) so its
'kmem_cache_cpu' structure gets freed ( slab_cpuup_callback).

At some point of time the caller continues on another CPU having an
obsolete pointer...

exec: fix stack excutability without PT_GNU_STACK

Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32)
exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an
executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because
stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established:
so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines.

Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack
vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup.  Checking through
our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct:
so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

16 years agoCorrect hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()
David Gibson [Tue, 8 Jul 2008 05:58:16 +0000 (15:58 +1000)]
Correct hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()

As Andy Whitcroft recently pointed out, the current powerpc version of
huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() has a bug.  It just calls ptep_set_wrprotect()
which in turn calls pte_update() then hpte_need_flush() with the 'huge'
argument set to 0.  This will cause hpte_need_flush() to flush the wrong
hash entries (of any).  Andy's fix for this is already in the powerpc
tree as commit 016b33c4958681c24056abed8ec95844a0da80a3.

I have confirmed this is a real bug, not masked by some other
synchronization, with a new testcase for libhugetlbfs.  A process write
a (MAP_PRIVATE) hugepage mapping, fork(), then alter the mapping and
have the child incorrectly see the second write.

Therefore, this should be fixed for 2.6.26, and for the stable tree.
Here is a suitable patch for 2.6.26, which I think will also be suitable
for the stable tree (neither of the headers in question has been changed
much recently).

It is cut down slighlty from Andy's original version, in that it does
not include a 32-bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect().  Currently,
hugepages are not supported on any 32-bit powerpc platform.  When they
are, a suitable 32-bit version can be added - the only 32-bit hardware
which supports hugepages does not use the conventional hashtable MMU and
so will have different needs anyway.
