dm cache: prevent BUG_ON by blocking retries on failed device resumes

2025-06-04T12:40:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5da692e2262b8f81993baa9592f57d12c2703dea ] A cache device failing to resume due to mapping errors should not be retried, as the failure leaves a partially initialized policy object. Repeating the resume operation risks triggering BUG_ON when reloading cache mappings into the incomplete policy object. Reproduce steps: 1. create a cache metadata consisting of 512 or more cache blocks, with some mappings stored in the first array block of the mapping array. Here we use cache_restore v1.0 to build the metadata. cat <> cmeta.xml EOF dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0" cache_restore -i cmeta.xml -o /dev/mapper/cmeta --metadata-version=2 dmsetup remove cmeta 2. wipe the second array block of the mapping array to simulate data degradations. mapping_root=$(dd if=/dev/sdc bs=1c count=8 skip=192 \ 2>/dev/null | hexdump -e '1/8 "%u\n"') ablock=$(dd if=/dev/sdc bs=1c count=8 skip=$((4096*mapping_root+2056)) \ 2>/dev/null | hexdump -e '1/8 "%u\n"') dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=4k count=1 seek=$ablock 3. try bringing up the cache device. The resume is expected to fail due to the broken array block. dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0" dmsetup create cdata --table "0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 8192" dmsetup create corig --table "0 524288 linear /dev/sdc 262144" dmsetup create cache --notable dmsetup load cache --table "0 524288 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \ /dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0" dmsetup resume cache 4. try resuming the cache again. An unexpected BUG_ON is triggered while loading cache mappings. dmsetup resume cache Kernel logs: (snip) ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at drivers/md/dm-cache-policy-smq.c:752!

dm cache: fix potential out-of-bounds access on the first resume

2024-11-14T12:15:15+00:00

commit c0ade5d98979585d4f5a93e4514c2e9a65afa08d upstream. Out-of-bounds access occurs if the fast device is expanded unexpectedly before the first-time resume of the cache table. This happens because expanding the fast device requires reloading the cache table for cache_create to allocate new in-core data structures that fit the new size, and the check in cache_preresume is not performed during the first resume, leading to the issue. Reproduce steps: 1. prepare component devices: dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0" dmsetup create cdata --table "0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 8192" dmsetup create corig --table "0 524288 linear /dev/sdc 262144" dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/cmeta bs=4k count=1 oflag=direct 2. load a cache table of 512 cache blocks, and deliberately expand the fast device before resuming the cache, making the in-core data structures inadequate. dmsetup create cache --notable dmsetup reload cache --table "0 524288 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \ /dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0" dmsetup reload cdata --table "0 131072 linear /dev/sdc 8192" dmsetup resume cdata dmsetup resume cache 3. suspend the cache to write out the in-core dirty bitset and hint array, leading to out-of-bounds access to the dirty bitset at offset 0x40: dmsetup suspend cache KASAN reports: BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in is_dirty_callback+0x2b/0x80 Read of size 8 at addr ffffc90000085040 by task dmsetup/90 (...snip...)

dm cache: optimize dirty bit checking with find_next_bit when resizing

2024-11-14T12:15:15+00:00

commit f484697e619a83ecc370443a34746379ad99d204 upstream. When shrinking the fast device, dm-cache iteratively searches for a dirty bit among the cache blocks to be dropped, which is less efficient. Use find_next_bit instead, as it is twice as fast as the iterative approach with test_bit.

commit 792227719725497ce10a8039803bec13f89f8910 upstream. dm-cache checks the dirty bits of the cache blocks to be dropped when shrinking the fast device, but an index bug in bitset iteration causes out-of-bounds access.

dm cache: fix flushing uninitialized delayed_work on cache_ctr error

2024-11-14T12:15:15+00:00

commit 135496c208ba26fd68cdef10b64ed7a91ac9a7ff upstream. An unexpected WARN_ON from flush_work() may occur when cache creation fails, caused by destroying the uninitialized delayed_work waker in the error path of cache_create(). For example, the warning appears on the superblock checksum error.

dm cache: correct the number of origin blocks to match the target length

2024-11-14T12:15:15+00:00

commit 235d2e739fcbe964c9ce179b4c991025662dcdb6 upstream. When creating a cache device, the actual size of the cache origin might be greater than the specified cache target length. In such case, the number of origin blocks should match the cache target length, not the full size of the origin device, since access beyond the cache target is not possible. This issue occurs when reducing the origin device size using lvm, as lvreduce preloads the new cache table before resuming the cache origin, which can result in incorrect sizes for the discard bitset and smq hotspot blocks. Reproduce steps: 1. create a cache device consists of 4096 origin blocks dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0" dmsetup create cdata --table "0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 8192" dmsetup create corig --table "0 524288 linear /dev/sdc 262144" dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/cmeta bs=4k count=1 oflag=direct dmsetup create cache --table "0 524288 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \ /dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0" 2. reduce the cache origin to 2048 oblocks, in lvreduce's approach dmsetup reload corig --table "0 262144 linear /dev/sdc 262144" dmsetup reload cache --table "0 262144 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \ /dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0" dmsetup suspend cache dmsetup suspend corig dmsetup suspend cdata dmsetup suspend cmeta dmsetup resume corig dmsetup resume cdata dmsetup resume cmeta dmsetup resume cache 3. shutdown the cache, and check the number of discard blocks in superblock. The value is expected to be 2048, but actually is 4096. dmsetup remove cache corig cdata cmeta dd if=/dev/sdc bs=1c count=8 skip=224 2>/dev/null | hexdump -e '1/8 "%u\n"' Fix by correcting the origin_blocks initialization in cache_create and removing the unused origin_sectors from struct cache_args accordingly.
