[PATCH 5.4 132/214] btrfs: fix readahead hang and use-after-free after removing a device

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx>

commit 66d204a16c94f24ad08290a7663ab67e7fc04e82 upstream.

Very sporadically I had test case btrfs/069 from fstests hanging (for
years, it is not a recent regression), with the following traces in
dmesg/syslog:

[162301.160628] BTRFS info (device sdc): dev_replace from /dev/sdd (devid 2) to /dev/sdg started

This was weird because the stack traces show that a transaction commit,
triggered by a device replace operation, is blocking trying to pause any
running scrubs but there are no stack traces of blocked tasks doing a
scrub.

After poking around with drgn, I noticed there was a scrub task that was
constantly running and blocking for shorts periods of time:

>>> t = find_task(prog, 1356190)
>>> prog.stack_trace(t)
#0 __schedule+0x5ce/0xcfc
#1 schedule+0x46/0xe4
#2 schedule_timeout+0x1df/0x475
#3 btrfs_reada_wait+0xda/0x132
#4 scrub_stripe+0x2a8/0x112f
#5 scrub_chunk+0xcd/0x134
#6 scrub_enumerate_chunks+0x29e/0x5ee
#7 btrfs_scrub_dev+0x2d5/0x91b
#8 btrfs_ioctl+0x7f5/0x36e7
#9 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x83/0xb0
#10 do_syscall_64+0x33/0x77
#11 entry_SYSCALL_64+0x7c/0x156

Which corresponds to:

int btrfs_reada_wait(void *handle)
{
struct reada_control *rc = handle;
struct btrfs_fs_info *fs_info = rc->fs_info;

while (atomic_read(&rc->elems)) {
if (!atomic_read(&fs_info->reada_works_cnt))
reada_start_machine(fs_info);
wait_event_timeout(rc->wait, atomic_read(&rc->elems) == 0,
(HZ + 9) / 10);
}
(...)

So the counter "rc->elems" was set to 1 and never decreased to 0, causing
the scrub task to loop forever in that function. Then I used the following
script for drgn to check the readahead requests:

$ cat dump_reada.py
import sys
import drgn
from drgn import NULL, Object, cast, container_of, execscript, \
reinterpret, sizeof
from drgn.helpers.linux import *

mnt_path = b"/home/fdmanana/btrfs-tests/scratch_1"

mnt = None
for mnt in for_each_mount(prog, dst = mnt_path):
pass

if mnt is None:
sys.stderr.write(f'Error: mount point {mnt_path} not found\n')
sys.exit(1)

fs_info = cast('struct btrfs_fs_info *', mnt.mnt.mnt_sb.s_fs_info)

def dump_re(re):
nzones = re.nzones.value_()
print(f're at {hex(re.value_())}')
print(f'\t logical {re.logical.value_()}')
print(f'\t refcnt {re.refcnt.value_()}')
print(f'\t nzones {nzones}')
for i in range(nzones):
dev = re.zones[i].device
name = dev.name.str.string_()
print(f'\t\t dev id {dev.devid.value_()} name {name}')
print()

for _, e in radix_tree_for_each(fs_info.reada_tree):
re = cast('struct reada_extent *', e)
dump_re(re)

$ drgn dump_reada.py
re at 0xffff8f3da9d25ad8
logical 38928384
refcnt 1
nzones 1
dev id 0 name b'/dev/sdd'
$

So there was one readahead extent with a single zone corresponding to the
source device of that last device replace operation logged in dmesg/syslog.
Also the ID of that zone's device was 0 which is a special value set in
the source device of a device replace operation when the operation finishes
(constant BTRFS_DEV_REPLACE_DEVID set at btrfs_dev_replace_finishing()),
confirming again that device /dev/sdd was the source of a device replace
operation.

Normally there should be as many zones in the readahead extent as there are
devices, and I wasn't expecting the extent to be in a block group with a
'single' profile, so I went and confirmed with the following drgn script
that there weren't any single profile block groups:

$ cat dump_block_groups.py
import sys
import drgn
from drgn import NULL, Object, cast, container_of, execscript, \
reinterpret, sizeof
from drgn.helpers.linux import *

mnt_path = b"/home/fdmanana/btrfs-tests/scratch_1"

mnt = None
for mnt in for_each_mount(prog, dst = mnt_path):
pass

if mnt is None:
sys.stderr.write(f'Error: mount point {mnt_path} not found\n')
sys.exit(1)

fs_info = cast('struct btrfs_fs_info *', mnt.mnt.mnt_sb.s_fs_info)

return ret

def dump_bg(bg):

print(f'block group at {hex(bg.value_())}')

bg_root = fs_info.block_group_cache_tree.address_of_()
for bg in rbtree_inorder_for_each_entry('struct btrfs_block_group', bg_root, 'cache_node'):

So there were only 2 reasons left for having a readahead extent with a
single zone: reada_find_zone(), called when creating a readahead extent,
returned NULL either because we failed to find the corresponding block
group or because a memory allocation failed. With some additional and
custom tracing I figured out that on every further ocurrence of the
problem the block group had just been deleted when we were looping to
create the zones for the readahead extent (at reada_find_extent()), so we
ended up with only one zone in the readahead extent, corresponding to a
device that ends up getting replaced.

So after figuring that out it became obvious why the hang happens:

1) Task A starts a scrub on any device of the filesystem, except for
device /dev/sdd;

2) Task B starts a device replace with /dev/sdd as the source device;

3) Task A calls btrfs_reada_add() from scrub_stripe() and it is currently
starting to scrub a stripe from block group X. This call to
btrfs_reada_add() is the one for the extent tree. When btrfs_reada_add()
calls reada_add_block(), it passes the logical address of the extent
tree's root node as its 'logical' argument - a value of 38928384;

4) Task A then enters reada_find_extent(), called from reada_add_block().
It finds there isn't any existing readahead extent for the logical
address 38928384, so it proceeds to the path of creating a new one.

It calls btrfs_map_block() to find out which stripes exist for the block
group X. On the first iteration of the for loop that iterates over the
stripes, it finds the stripe for device /dev/sdd, so it creates one
zone for that device and adds it to the readahead extent. Before getting
into the second iteration of the loop, the cleanup kthread deletes block
group X because it was empty. So in the iterations for the remaining
stripes it does not add more zones to the readahead extent, because the
calls to reada_find_zone() returned NULL because they couldn't find
block group X anymore.

As a result the new readahead extent has a single zone, corresponding to
the device /dev/sdd;

4) Before task A returns to btrfs_reada_add() and queues the readahead job
for the readahead work queue, task B finishes the device replace and at
btrfs_dev_replace_finishing() swaps the device /dev/sdd with the new
device /dev/sdg;

5) Task A returns to reada_add_block(), which increments the counter
"->elems" of the reada_control structure allocated at btrfs_reada_add().

Then it returns back to btrfs_reada_add() and calls
reada_start_machine(). This queues a job in the readahead work queue to
run the function reada_start_machine_worker(), which calls
__reada_start_machine().

At __reada_start_machine() we take the device list mutex and for each
device found in the current device list, we call
reada_start_machine_dev() to start the readahead work. However at this
point the device /dev/sdd was already freed and is not in the device
list anymore.

This means the corresponding readahead for the extent at 38928384 is
never started, and therefore the "->elems" counter of the reada_control
structure allocated at btrfs_reada_add() never goes down to 0, causing
the call to btrfs_reada_wait(), done by the scrub task, to wait forever.

Note that the readahead request can be made either after the device replace
started or before it started, however in pratice it is very unlikely that a
device replace is able to start after a readahead request is made and is
able to complete before the readahead request completes - maybe only on a
very small and nearly empty filesystem.

This hang however is not the only problem we can have with readahead and
device removals. When the readahead extent has other zones other than the
one corresponding to the device that is being removed (either by a device
replace or a device remove operation), we risk having a use-after-free on
the device when dropping the last reference of the readahead extent.

For example if we create a readahead extent with two zones, one for the
device /dev/sdd and one for the device /dev/sde:

1) Before the readahead worker starts, the device /dev/sdd is removed,
and the corresponding btrfs_device structure is freed. However the
readahead extent still has the zone pointing to the device structure;

2) When the readahead worker starts, it only finds device /dev/sde in the
current device list of the filesystem;

3) It starts the readahead work, at reada_start_machine_dev(), using the
device /dev/sde;

4) Then when it finishes reading the extent from device /dev/sde, it calls
__readahead_hook() which ends up dropping the last reference on the
readahead extent through the last call to reada_extent_put();

5) At reada_extent_put() it iterates over each zone of the readahead extent
and attempts to delete an element from the device's 'reada_extents'
radix tree, resulting in a use-after-free, as the device pointer of the
zone for /dev/sdd is now stale. We can also access the device after
dropping the last reference of a zone, through reada_zone_release(),
also called by reada_extent_put().

And a device remove suffers the same problem, however since it shrinks the
device size down to zero before removing the device, it is very unlikely to
still have readahead requests not completed by the time we free the device,
the only possibility is if the device has a very little space allocated.

While the hang problem is exclusive to scrub, since it is currently the
only user of btrfs_reada_add() and btrfs_reada_wait(), the use-after-free
problem affects any path that triggers readhead, which includes
btree_readahead_hook() and __readahead_hook() (a readahead worker can
trigger readahed for the children of a node) for example - any path that
ends up calling reada_add_block() can trigger the use-after-free after a
device is removed.

So fix this by waiting for any readahead requests for a device to complete
before removing a device, ensuring that while waiting for existing ones no
new ones can be made.

This problem has been around for a very long time - the readahead code was
added in 2011, device remove exists since 2008 and device replace was
introduced in 2013, hard to pick a specific commit for a git Fixes tag.
