PATCH 4/15 ocfs2: avoid access invalid address when read o2dlm debug messages

From: jiangyiwen <[email protected]>
Subject: ocfs2: avoid access invalid address when read o2dlm debug messages

The following case will lead to a lockres is freed but is still in use.

cat /sys/kernel/debug/o2dlm/locking_state dlm_thread
lockres_seq_start

    -> lock dlm->track_lock
    -> get resA
                                                resA->refs decrease to 0,
                                                call dlm_lockres_release,
                                                and wait for "cat" unlock.
Although resA->refs is already set to 0,
increase resA->refs, and then unlock
                                                lock dlm->track_lock
                                                    -> list_del_init()
                                                    -> unlock
                                                    -> free resA

In such a race case, invalid address access may occurs. So we should delete list res->tracking before resA->refs decrease to 0.

dlm_purge_lockres is not necessarily the last caller of dlm_lockres_put(), but it means lockres will be purged if dlm_purge_lockres is called. Besides, lockres is also unhashed in dlm_purge_lockres, so lockres can be removed from tracking list. contents of dlm->tracking_list will be consistent with dlm->lockres_hash.

Besides, lockres is also unhashed in dlm_purge_lockres, so lockres can be removed from tracking list. contents of dlm->tracking_list will be consistent with dlm->lockres_hash.

I'm still confused. This is what I'm worried about:

1) a procss calls dlm_lockres_put(), NOT from dlm_purge_lockres().

2) if the count goes to zero, then that process will call dlm_lockres_release()

3) dlm_lockres_release() will free the lockres without removing it from the tracking list. Thus we will have a corrupted list.

Does that make sense? Am I wrong here?

Without this scene. dlm_purge_lockres() is called before dlm_lockres_release().

Once lock resource is inserted into hash list, it should call dlm_purge_lockres()->__dlm_unhash_lockres() to put the last ref. However, if lock resource is initialized and inserted into tracking list but not inserted into hash list, it can happen that dlm_lockres_release() will free the lockres without removing it from the tracking list.
So we should remove lockres from tracking list if we call dlm_lockres_put() after lockres is created but not inserted into hash list yet.

How do we know that dlm_purge_lockres() is the last caller of dlm_lockres_put()? Don't we now have a problem where if the last ref is dropped by any other function than dlm_purge_lockres() the lockres is freed while on the tracking list?

dlm_purge_lockres is not necessarily the last caller of dlm_lockres_put(), but it means lockres will be purged if dlm_purge_lockres is called. Besides, lockres is also unhashed in dlm_purge_lockres, so lockres can be removed from tracking list. contents of dlm->tracking_list will be consistent with dlm->lockres_hash.

I'm still confused. This is what I'm worried about:

1) a procss calls dlm_lockres_put(), NOT from dlm_purge_lockres().

2) if the count goes to zero, then that process will call dlm_lockres_release()

But at this time, it has already called dlm_purge_lockres(). The reasons are as follows:
1) lockres is created in dlm_init_lockres(), it call kref_init(), count is 1;
2) Only when lockres is unused, it will call dlm_lockres_put() twice by dlm_run_purge_list(). So dlm_purge_lockres() has been called if the count goes to zero.

3) dlm_lockres_release() will free the lockres without removing it from the tracking list. Thus we will have a corrupted list.

Without this scene. dlm_purge_lockres() is called before dlm_lockres_release().

Once lock resource is inserted into hash list, it should call dlm_purge_lockres()->__dlm_unhash_lockres() to put the last ref. However, if lock resource is initialized and inserted into tracking list but not inserted into hash list, it can happen that dlm_lockres_release() will free the lockres without removing it from the tracking list.
So we should remove lockres from tracking list if we call dlm_lockres_put() after lockres is created but not inserted into hash list yet.

Thanks,

Thanks, you are right! I will send new version later.

Does that make sense? Am I wrong here?
