RFC PATCH 1/1 set_blocksize() rework

Any buffer-cache based filesystem is going to be FUBAR
if somebody manages to change block size of device under it, since primitives (sb_bread(), sb_getblk(), etc.) operate in terms of block numbers. If block size suddenly doubles, so will the offsets from the beginning of device. Results are not pretty, obviously.

The thing that (mostly) prevents that kind of mess
is that most of the mechanisms that lead to block size change require the device being opened exclusive. However, there are several exceptions that allow to do that without an exclusive open. Fortunately, all of them require CAP_SYS_ADMIN, so it's not a security problem - anyone who already has that level of access can screw the system into the ground in any number of ways. However, security problems or not, that crap should be fixed.

The series below eliminates these calls of set_blocksize()
and changes calling conventsion of set_blocksize() so that it uses struct file * instead of struct block_device * to tell which device to act upon. Unlike struct block_device, struct file has enough information to tell an exclusive open from non-exclusive one, so we can reject the operation in non-exclusive case.

The branch is available at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git #work.set_blocksize Individual patches in followups.

Review (and testing, obviously) would be very welcome.

Shortlog:
Al Viro (7):
bcache_register(): don't bother with set_blocksize()
pktcdvd: sort set_blocksize() calls out
swapon(2)/swapoff(2): don't bother with block size
swapon(2): open swap with O_EXCL
swsusp: don't bother with setting block size btrfs_get_dev_args_from_path(): don't call set_blocksize() set_blocksize(): switch to passing struct file *, fail if it's not opened exclusive

PATCH 1/7 bcache_register(): don't bother with set_blocksize()

We are not using __bread() anymore and read_cache_page_gfp() doesn't care about block size. Moreover, we should *not* change block size on a device that is currently held exclusive - filesystems that use buffer cache expect the block numbers to be interpreted in units set by filesystem.

PATCH 2/7 pktcdvd: sort set_blocksize() calls out

In reply to Al Viro

1) it doesn't make any sense to have ->open() call set_blocksize() on the device being opened - the caller will override that anyway.

2) setting block size on underlying device, OTOH, ought to be done when we are opening it exclusive - i.e. as part of pkt_open_dev(). Having it done at setup time doesn't guarantee us anything about the state at the time we start talking to it. Worse, if you happen to have the underlying device containing e.g. ext2 with 4Kb blocks that is currently mounted r/o, that set_blocksize() will confuse the hell out of filesystem.

I brought some of this before and didn't dare to touch it because I have no way of testing this code. The changes looks good to me:

But I really wish we could find a dedicated tester for pktcdvd or just drop this code..

once upon a time that used to matter; these days we do swap IO for swap devices at the level that doesn't give a damn about block size, buffer_head or anything of that sort - just attach the page to bio, set the location and size (the latter to PAGE_SIZE) and feed into queue.

This looks like a good change, but it raises the question of why we did it this odd way to begin with?

Is it just because O_EXCL without O_CREAT is kind of odd, and only has meaning for block devices?

Or is it just that before we used fiel pointers for block devices, the old model made more sense?

Anyway, I like it, it just makes me go "why didn't we do it that way originally?"

at which point the "what if we'd found a page with attached buffers of the wrong size?" should've become impossible.

Re: [PATCH 4/7] swapon(2): open swap with O_EXCL

Quoted 3 lines · Al Viro

FWIW, pretty much the same can be done with zram - open with O_EXCL and to hell with reopening. Guys, are there any objections to that?

Please do. The fewer of these strange "re-open block device" things we have, the better.

I particularly dislike our "holder" logic, and this re-opening is one source of nasty confusion, and if we could replace them all with just the "O_EXCL uses the file itself as the holder", that would be absolutely _lovely_.

The tricky part is blk_holder_ops, and I'm no fonder of it than you are.

Christoph, do you have any plans along those lines for swap devices? If they are not going to grow holder_ops, I'd say we should switch to O_EXCL open and be done with that; zram is in the same situation, AFAICS.

Might be worth a topic at LSF, actually...

holder_ops right now are used for fs freezing, fs syncing and dead device notification. None of this is useful for swap, as is the resize notification I plan to add eventually.

PATCH 6/7 btrfs_get_dev_args_from_path(): don't call set_blocksize()

In reply to Al Viro

We don't have bdev opened exclusive there. And I'm rather dubious about the need to do set_blocksize() anywhere in btrfs, to be honest - there's some access to page cache of underlying block devices in there, but it's nowhere near the hot paths, AFAICT.

In any case, btrfs_get_dev_args_from_path() only needs to read the on-disk superblock and copy several fields out of it; all callers are only interested in devices that are already opened and brought into per-filesystem set, so setting the block size is redundant for those and actively harmful if we are given a pathname of unrelated device.

Long time ago we fixed a bug that involved set_blocksize(), 6f60cbd3ae44 ("btrfs: access superblock via pagecache in scan_one_device"). Concurrent access from scan, mount and mkfs could interact and some writes would be dropped, but the argument was rather not to use set_blocksize.

I do not recall all the details but I think that the problem was when it was called in the middle of the other operation in progress. The only reason it's ever called is for the super block read and to call it explicitly from our code rather than rely on some eventual call from block layer. But it's more than 10 years ago and things have changed, we don't use buffer_head for superblock anymore.

Calling set_blocksize on already opened devices will avoid the scan/mount/mkfs interactions so this seems safe.

RFC PATCH v2 1/1 set_blocksize() rework

In reply to Al Viro
Quoted 25 lines · Al Viro

Any buffer-cache based filesystem is going to be FUBAR
if somebody manages to change block size of device under it, since primitives (sb_bread(), sb_getblk(), etc.) operate in terms of block numbers. If block size suddenly doubles, so will the offsets from the beginning of device. Results are not pretty, obviously.

The thing that (mostly) prevents that kind of mess
is that most of the mechanisms that lead to block size change require the device being opened exclusive. However, there are several exceptions that allow to do that without an exclusive open. Fortunately, all of them require CAP_SYS_ADMIN, so it's not a security problem - anyone who already has that level of access can screw the system into the ground in any number of ways. However, security problems or not, that crap should be fixed.

The series below eliminates these calls of set_blocksize()
and changes calling conventsion of set_blocksize() so that it uses struct file * instead of struct block_device * to tell which device to act upon. Unlike struct block_device, struct file has enough information to tell an exclusive open from non-exclusive one, so we can reject the operation in non-exclusive case.

The branch is available at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git #work.set_blocksize Individual patches in followups.

Review (and testing, obviously) would be very welcome.

Branch updated and force-pushed (same place). Individual patches in followups.

Changes:
* zram elimination of double-open added.
* hopefully better description of btrfs side of things.
* final commit split into switch of set_blocksize() to struct file and adding a check for exclusive open.
* chunk in Documentation/filesystems/porting.rst added.

Shortlog:
Al Viro (9):
bcache_register(): don't bother with set_blocksize()
pktcdvd: sort set_blocksize() calls out swapon(2)/swapoff(2): don't bother with block size swapon(2): open swap with O_EXCL
zram: don't bother with reopening - just use O_EXCL for open
swsusp: don't bother with setting block size btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb(): call set_blocksize() only for exclusive opens set_blocksize(): switch to passing struct file *
make set_blocksize() fail unless block device is opened exclusive

PATCH v2 1/9 bcache_register(): don't bother with set_blocksize()

We are not using __bread() anymore and read_cache_page_gfp() doesn't care about block size. Moreover, we should *not* change block size on a device that is currently held exclusive - filesystems that use buffer cache expect the block numbers to be interpreted in units set by filesystem.

PATCH v2 2/9 pktcdvd: sort set_blocksize() calls out

1) it doesn't make any sense to have ->open() call set_blocksize() on the device being opened - the caller will override that anyway.

2) setting block size on underlying device, OTOH, ought to be done when we are opening it exclusive - i.e. as part of pkt_open_dev(). Having it done at setup time doesn't guarantee us anything about the state at the time we start talking to it. Worse, if you happen to have the underlying device containing e.g. ext2 with 4Kb blocks that is currently mounted r/o, that set_blocksize() will confuse the hell out of filesystem.

PATCH v2 3/9 swapon(2)/swapoff(2): don't bother with block size

In reply to Al Viro

once upon a time that used to matter; these days we do swap IO for swap devices at the level that doesn't give a damn about block size, buffer_head or anything of that sort - just attach the page to bio, set the location and size (the latter to PAGE_SIZE) and feed into queue.

PATCH v2 7/9 btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb(): call set_blocksize() only for exclusive opens

In reply to Al Viro

btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb() has two callers - btrfs_open_one_device(), which asks for open to be exclusive and btrfs_get_dev_args_from_path(), which doesn't. Currently it does set_blocksize() in all cases.

I'm rather dubious about the need to do set_blocksize() anywhere in btrfs, to be honest - there's some access to page cache of underlying block devices in there, but it's nowhere near the hot paths, AFAICT.

In any case, btrfs_get_dev_args_from_path() only needs to read the on-disk superblock and copy several fields out of it; all callers are only interested in devices that are already opened and brought into per-filesystem set, so setting the block size is redundant for those and actively harmful if we are given a pathname of unrelated device.

So we only need btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb() to call set_blocksize() when it's asked to open exclusive.

PATCH v2 1/9 bcache_register(): don't bother with set_blocksize()

In reply to Al Viro

We are not using __bread() anymore and read_cache_page_gfp() doesn't care about block size. Moreover, we should *not* change block size on a device that is currently held exclusive - filesystems that use buffer cache expect the block numbers to be interpreted in units set by filesystem.

PATCH v2 2/9 pktcdvd: sort set_blocksize() calls out

1) it doesn't make any sense to have ->open() call set_blocksize() on the device being opened - the caller will override that anyway.

2) setting block size on underlying device, OTOH, ought to be done when we are opening it exclusive - i.e. as part of pkt_open_dev(). Having it done at setup time doesn't guarantee us anything about the state at the time we start talking to it. Worse, if you happen to have the underlying device containing e.g. ext2 with 4Kb blocks that is currently mounted r/o, that set_blocksize() will confuse the hell out of filesystem.

PATCH v2 3/9 swapon(2)/swapoff(2): don't bother with block size

In reply to Al Viro

once upon a time that used to matter; these days we do swap IO for swap devices at the level that doesn't give a damn about block size, buffer_head or anything of that sort - just attach the page to bio, set the location and size (the latter to PAGE_SIZE) and feed into queue.

PATCH v2 7/9 btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb(): call set_blocksize() only for exclusive opens

In reply to Al Viro

btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb() has two callers - btrfs_open_one_device(), which asks for open to be exclusive and btrfs_get_dev_args_from_path(), which doesn't. Currently it does set_blocksize() in all cases.

I'm rather dubious about the need to do set_blocksize() anywhere in btrfs, to be honest - there's some access to page cache of underlying block devices in there, but it's nowhere near the hot paths, AFAICT.

In any case, btrfs_get_dev_args_from_path() only needs to read the on-disk superblock and copy several fields out of it; all callers are only interested in devices that are already opened and brought into per-filesystem set, so setting the block size is redundant for those and actively harmful if we are given a pathname of unrelated device.

So we only need btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb() to call set_blocksize() when it's asked to open exclusive.
