2008-05-01Fix dnotify/close race (CVE-2008-1375)Al Viro
commit 214b7049a7929f03bbd2786aaef04b8b79db34e2 upstream. We have a race between fcntl() and close() that can lead to dnotify_struct inserted into inode's list *after* the last descriptor had been gone from current->files. Since that's the only point where dnotify_struct gets evicted, we are screwed - it will stick around indefinitely. Even after struct file in question is gone and freed. Worse, we can trigger send_sigio() on it at any later point, which allows to send an arbitrary signal to arbitrary process if we manage to apply enough memory pressure to get the page that used to host that struct file and fill it with the right pattern...

2008-05-01JFFS2: Fix free space leak with in-band cleanmarkersDavid Woodhouse
We were accounting for the cleanmarker by calling jffs2_link_node_ref() (without locking!), which adjusted both superblock and per-eraseblock accounting, subtracting the size of the cleanmarker from {jeb,c}->free_size and adding it to {jeb,c}->used_size. But only _then_ were we adding the size of the newly-erased block back to the superblock counts, and we were adding each of jeb->{free,used}_size to the corresponding superblock counts. Thus, the size of the cleanmarker was effectively subtracted from the superblock's free_size _twice_. Fix this, by always adding a full eraseblock size to c->free_size when we've erased a block. And call jffs2_link_node_ref() under the proper lock, while we're at it. Thanks to Alexander Yurchenko and/or Damir Shayhutdinov for (almost) pinpointing the problem.

2008-05-01splice: use mapping_gfp_maskHugh Dickins
upstream commit: 4cd13504652d28e16bf186c6bb2bbb3725369383 The loop block driver is careful to mask __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS out of its mapping_gfp_mask, to avoid hangs under memory pressure. But nowadays it uses splice, usually going through __generic_file_splice_read. That must use mapping_gfp_mask instead of GFP_KERNEL to avoid those hangs.

2008-04-18locks: fix possible infinite loop in fcntl(F_SETLKW) over nfsJ. Bruce Fields
upstream commit: 19e729a928172103e101ffd0829fd13e68c13f78 Miklos Szeredi found the bug: "Basically what happens is that on the server nlm_fopen() calls nfsd_open() which returns -EACCES, to which nlm_fopen() returns NLM_LCK_DENIED. "On the client this will turn into a -EAGAIN (nlm_stat_to_errno()), which in will cause fcntl_setlk() to retry forever." So, for example, opening a file on an nfs filesystem, changing permissions to forbid further access, then trying to lock the file, could result in an infinite loop. And Trond Myklebust identified the culprit, from Marc Eshel and I: 7723ec9777d9832849b76475b1a21a2872a40d20 "locks: factor out generic/filesystem switch from setlock code" That commit claimed to just be reshuffling code, but actually introduced a behavioral change by calling the lock method repeatedly as long as it returned -EAGAIN. We assumed this would be safe, since we assumed a lock of type SETLKW would only return with either success or an error other than -EAGAIN. However, nfs does can in fact return -EAGAIN in this situation, and independently of whether that behavior is correct or not, we don't actually need this change, and it seems far safer not to depend on such assumptions about the filesystem's ->lock method. Therefore, revert the problematic part of the original commit. This leaves vfs_lock_file() and its other callers unchanged, while returning fcntl_setlk and fcntl_setlk64 to their former behavior.

2008-04-18inotify: fix raceNick Piggin
upstream commit: d599e36a9ea85432587f4550acc113cd7549d12a There is a race between setting an inode's children's "parent watched" flag when placing the first watch on a parent, and instantiating new children of that parent: a child could miss having its flags set by set_dentry_child_flags, but then inotify_d_instantiate might still see !inotify_inode_watched. The solution is to set_dentry_child_flags after adding the watch. Locking is taken care of, because both set_dentry_child_flags and inotify_d_instantiate hold dcache_lock and child->d_locks.

2008-03-24aio: bad AIO race in aio_complete() leads to process hangQuentin Barnes
commit: 6cb2a21049b8990df4576c5fce4d48d0206c22d5 My group ran into a AIO process hang on a 2.6.24 kernel with the process sleeping indefinitely in io_getevents(2) waiting for the last wakeup to come and it never would. We ran the tests on x86_64 SMP. The hang only occurred on a Xeon box ("Clovertown") but not a Core2Duo ("Conroe"). On the Xeon, the L2 cache isn't shared between all eight processors, but is L2 is shared between between all two processors on the Core2Duo we use. My analysis of the hang is if you go down to the second while-loop in read_events(), what happens on processor #1: 1) add_wait_queue_exclusive() adds thread to ctx->wait 2) aio_read_evt() to check tail 3) if aio_read_evt() returned 0, call [io_]schedule() and sleep In aio_complete() with processor #2: A) info->tail = tail; B) waitqueue_active(&ctx->wait) C) if waitqueue_active() returned non-0, call wake_up() The way the code is written, step 1 must be seen by all other processors before processor 1 checks for pending events in step 2 (that were recorded by step A) and step A by processor 2 must be seen by all other processors (checked in step 2) before step B is done. The race I believed I was seeing is that steps 1 and 2 were effectively swapped due to the __list_add() being delayed by the L2 cache not shared by some of the other processors. Imagine: proc 2: just before step A proc 1, step 1: adds to ctx->wait, but is not visible by other processors yet proc 1, step 2: checks tail and sees no pending events proc 2, step A: updates tail proc 1, step 3: calls [io_]schedule() and sleeps proc 2, step B: checks ctx->wait, but sees no one waiting, skips wakeup so proc 1 sleeps indefinitely My patch adds a memory barrier between steps A and B. It ensures that the update in step 1 gets seen on processor 2 before continuing. If processor 1 was just before step 1, the memory barrier makes sure that step A (update tail) gets seen by the time processor 1 makes it to step 2 (check tail). Before the patch our AIO process would hang virtually 100% of the time. After the patch, we have yet to see the process ever hang.

This bug was always here, but before my commit 6fa02839bf9412e18e77 ("recheck for secure ports in fh_verify"), it could only be triggered by failure of a kmalloc(). After that commit it could be triggered by a client making a request from a non-reserved port for access to an export marked "secure". (Exports are "secure" by default.) The result is a struct svc_export with a reference count one too low, resulting in likely oopses next time the export is accessed. The reference counting here is not straightforward; a later patch will clean up fh_verify(). Thanks to Lukas Hejtmanek for the bug report and followup. Signed-off-by: J.

patch 5d47a35600270e7115061cb1320ee60ae9bcb6b8 in mainline. If the inode is flagged as having an invalid mapping, then we can't rely on the PageUptodate() flag. Ensure that we don't use the "anti-fragmentation" write optimisation in nfs_updatepage(), since that will cause NFS to write out areas of the page that are no longer guaranteed to be up to date. A potential corruption could occur in the following scenario: client 1 client 2 =============== =============== fd=open("f",O_CREAT|O_WRONLY,0644); write(fd,"fubar\n",6); // cache last page close(fd); fd=open("f",O_WRONLY|O_APPEND); write(fd,"foo\n",4); close(fd); fd=open("f",O_WRONLY|O_APPEND); write(fd,"bar\n",4); close(fd); ----- The bug may lead to the file "f" reading 'fubar\n\0\0\0\nbar\n' because client 2 does not update the cached page after re-opening the file for write. Instead it keeps it marked as PageUptodate() until someone calls invalidate_inode_pages2() (typically by calling read()).

patch 712a30e63c8066ed84385b12edbfb804f49cbc44 in mainline. Commit 8811930dc74a503415b35c4a79d14fb0b408a361 ("splice: missing user pointer access verification") added the proper access_ok() calls to copy_from_user_mmap_sem() which ensures we can copy the struct iovecs from userspace to the kernel. But we also must check whether we can access the actual memory region pointed to by the struct iovec to fix the access checks properly.

This is wrong, ->real_parent could be freed/reused. Both ->parent/real_parent point to nothing after __exit_signal() because we remove the child from ->children list, and thus the child can't be reparented when its parent exits. rcu_read_lock() protects ->parent/real_parent, but _only_ if we know it was valid before we take rcu lock.

When RPCSEC/GSS and krb5i is used, requests are padded, typically to a multiple of 8 bytes. This can make the request look slightly longer than it really is. As of f34b95689d2ce001c "The NFSv2/NFSv3 server does not handle zero length WRITE request correctly", the xdr decode routines for NFSv2 and NFSv3 reject requests that aren't the right length, so krb5i (for example) WRITE requests can get lost.

task_ppid_nr_ns is called in three places. One of these should never have called it. In the other two, using it broke the existing semantics. This was presumably accidental. If the function had not been there, it would have been much more obvious to the eye that those patches were changing the behavior. We don't need this function. In task_state, the pid of the ptracer is not the ppid of the ptracer. In do_task_stat, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid. I also moved the call outside of lock_task_sighand, since it doesn't need it. In sys_getppid, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid.

2008-01-12Use access mode instead of open flags to determine needed permissionsLinus Torvalds
Way back when (in commit 834f2a4a1554dc5b2598038b3fe8703defcbe467, aka "VFS: Allow the filesystem to return a full file pointer on open intent" to be exact), Trond changed the open logic to keep track of the original flags to a file open, in order to pass down the the intent of a dentry lookup to the low-level filesystem. However, when doing that reorganization, it changed the meaning of namei_flags, and thus inadvertently changed the test of access mode for directories (and RO filesystem) to use the wrong flag. So fix those test back to use access mode ("acc_mode") rather than the open flag ("flag"). Issue noticed by Bill Roman at Datalight.

2008-01-08hfs: handle more on-disk corruptions without oopsingEric Sandeen
hfs seems prone to bad things when it encounters on disk corruption. Many values are read from disk, and used as lengths to memcpy, as an example. This patch fixes up several of these problematic cases. o sanity check the on-disk maximum key lengths on mount (these are set to a defined value at mkfs time and shouldn't differ) o check on-disk node keylens against the maximum key length for each tree o fix hfs_btree_open so that going out via free_tree: doesn't wind up in hfs_releasepage, which wants to follow the very pointer we were trying to set up: HFS_SB(sb)->cat_tree = hfs_btree_open() ... failure gets to hfs_releasepage and tries to follow HFS_SB(sb)->cat_tree Tested with the fsfuzzer; it survives more than it used to.

2008-01-08eCryptfs: fix dentry handling on create error, unlink, and inode destroyMichael Halcrow
This patch corrects some erroneous dentry handling in eCryptfs. If there is a problem creating the lower file, then there is nothing that the persistent lower file can do to really help us. This patch makes a vfs_create() failure in the lower filesystem always lead to an unconditional do_create failure in eCryptfs. Under certain sequences of operations, the eCryptfs dentry can remain in the dcache after an unlink. This patch calls d_drop() on the eCryptfs dentry to correct this. eCryptfs has no business calling d_delete() directly on a lower filesystem's dentry. This patch removes the call to d_delete() on the lower persistent file's dentry in ecryptfs_destroy_inode().

2008-01-03NFSv4: Fix open_to_lock_owner sequenceid allocation...Trond Myklebust
NFSv4 file locking is currently completely broken since it doesn't respect the OPEN sequencing when it is given an unconfirmed lock_owner and needs to do an open_to_lock_owner. Worse: it breaks the sunrpc rules by doing a GFP_KERNEL allocation inside an rpciod callback. Fix is to preallocate the open seqid structure in nfs4_alloc_lockdata if we see that the lock_owner is unconfirmed. Then, in nfs4_lock_prepare() we wait for either the open_seqid, if the lock_owner is still unconfirmed, or else fall back to waiting on the standard lock_seqid.
