[PATCH 3/3] NFS: Use i_writecount to control whether to get anfscache cookie in nfs_open()
From: David Howells
Date: Fri Sep 20 2013 - 11:09:39 EST
Use i_writecount to control whether to get an fscache cookie in nfs_open() as
NFS does not do write caching yet. I *think* this is the cause of a problem
encountered by Mark Moseley whereby __fscache_uncache_page() gets a NULL
pointer dereference because cookie->def is NULL:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010

The code at the instruction pointer was disassembled:
> (gdb) disas __fscache_uncache_page
> Dump of assembler code for function __fscache_uncache_page:
> ...
> 0xffffffff812a18ff <+31>: mov 0x48(%rbx),%rax
> 0xffffffff812a1903 <+35>: cmpb $0x0,0x10(%rax)
> 0xffffffff812a1907 <+39>: je 0xffffffff812a19cd <__fscache_uncache_page+237>
These instructions make up:
ASSERTCMP(cookie->def->type, !=, FSCACHE_COOKIE_TYPE_INDEX);
That cmpb is the faulting instruction (%rax is 0). So cookie->def is NULL -
which presumably means that the cookie has already been at least partway
through __fscache_relinquish_cookie().
What I think may be happening is something like a three-way race on the same
file:
PROCESS 1 PROCESS 2 PROCESS 3
=============== =============== ===============
open(O_TRUNC|O_WRONLY)
open(O_RDONLY)
open(O_WRONLY)
-->nfs_open()
-->nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
nfs_fscache_inode_lock()
nfs_fscache_disable_inode_cookie()
__fscache_relinquish_cookie()
nfs_inode->fscache = NULL
<--nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
-->nfs_open()
-->nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
nfs_fscache_inode_lock()
nfs_fscache_enable_inode_cookie()
__fscache_acquire_cookie()
nfs_inode->fscache = cookie
<--nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
<--nfs_open()
-->nfs_setattr()
...
...
-->nfs_invalidate_page()
-->__nfs_fscache_invalidate_page()
cookie = nfsi->fscache
-->nfs_open()
-->nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
nfs_fscache_inode_lock()
nfs_fscache_disable_inode_cookie()
-->__fscache_relinquish_cookie()
-->__fscache_uncache_page(cookie)
<crash>
<--__fscache_relinquish_cookie()
nfs_inode->fscache = NULL
<--nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
What is needed is something to prevent process #2 from reacquiring the cookie
- and I think checking i_writecount should do the trick.
It's also possible to have a two-way race on this if the file is opened
O_TRUNC|O_RDONLY instead.
