ceph: only d_add() negative dentries when they are unhashed

2026-06-19T11:21:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit 803447f93d75ab6e40c85e6d12b5630d281d70d6 ] Ceph can call d_add(dentry, NULL) on a negative dentry that is already present in the primary dcache hash. In the current VFS that is not safe. d_add() goes through __d_add() to __d_rehash(), which unconditionally reinserts dentry->d_hash into the hlist_bl bucket. If the dentry is already hashed, reinserting the same node can corrupt the bucket, including creating a self-loop. Once that happens, __d_lookup() can spin forever in the hlist_bl walk, typically looping only on the d_name.hash mismatch check and eventually triggering RCU stall reports like this one: rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU rcu: 87-....: (2100 ticks this GP) idle=3a4c/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=25003319/25003319 fqs=829 rcu: (t=2101 jiffies g=79058445 q=698988 ncpus=192) CPU: 87 UID: 2952868916 PID: 3933303 Comm: php-cgi8.3 Not tainted 6.18.17-i1-amd #950 NONE Hardware name: Dell Inc.

A Ceph lookup or atomic_open can be handed a negative dentry that is already hashed, and fs/ceph/dir.c then hits one of two paths that incorrectly assume "negative" also means "unhashed": - ceph_finish_lookup(): MDS reply is -ENOENT with no trace -> d_add(dentry, NULL) - ceph_lookup(): local ENOENT fast path for a complete directory with shared caps -> d_add(dentry, NULL) Both paths can therefore re-add an already-hashed negative dentry. Ceph already uses the correct pattern elsewhere: ceph_fill_trace() only calls d_add(dn, NULL) for a negative null-dentry reply when d_unhashed(dn) is true. Fix both fs/ceph/dir.c sites the same way: only call d_add() for a negative dentry when it is actually unhashed. If the negative dentry is already hashed, leave it in place and reuse it as-is. This preserves the existing behavior for unhashed dentries while avoiding d_hash list corruption for reused hashed negatives.

ceph: fix i_nlink underrun during async unlink

2026-04-18T08:30:56+00:00

commit ce0123cbb4a40a2f1bbb815f292b26e96088639f upstream. During async unlink, we drop the `i_nlink` counter before we receive the completion (that will eventually update the `i_nlink`) because "we assume that the unlink will succeed". That is not a bad idea, but it races against deletions by other clients (or against the completion of our own unlink) and can lead to an underrun which emits a WARNING like this one: WARNING: CPU: 85 PID: 25093 at fs/inode.c:407 drop_nlink+0x50/0x68 Modules linked in: CPU: 85 UID: 3221252029 PID: 25093 Comm: php-cgi8.1 Not tainted 6.14.11-cm4all1-ampere #655 Hardware name: Supermicro ARS-110M-NR/R12SPD-A, BIOS 1.1b 10/17/2023 pstate: 60400009 (nZCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : drop_nlink+0x50/0x68 lr : ceph_unlink+0x6c4/0x720 sp : ffff80012173bc90 x29: ffff80012173bc90 x28: ffff086d0a45aaf8 x27: ffff0871d0eb5680 x26: ffff087f2a64a718 x25: 0000020000000180 x24: 0000000061c88647 x23: 0000000000000002 x22: ffff07ff9236d800 x21: 0000000000001203 x20: ffff07ff9237b000 x19: ffff088b8296afc0 x18: 00000000f3c93365 x17: 0000000000070000 x16: ffff08faffcbdfe8 x15: ffff08faffcbdfec x14: 0000000000000000 x13: 45445f65645f3037 x12: 34385f6369706f74 x11: 0000a2653104bb20 x10: ffffd85f26d73290 x9 : ffffd85f25664f94 x8 : 00000000000000c0 x7 : 0000000000000000 x6 : 0000000000000002 x5 : 0000000000000081 x4 : 0000000000000481 x3 : 0000000000000000 x2 : 0000000000000000 x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : ffff08727d3f91e8 Call trace: drop_nlink+0x50/0x68 (P) vfs_unlink+0xb0/0x2e8 do_unlinkat+0x204/0x288 __arm64_sys_unlinkat+0x3c/0x80 invoke_syscall.constprop.0+0x54/0xe8 do_el0_svc+0xa4/0xc8 el0_svc+0x18/0x58 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x104/0x130 el0t_64_sync+0x154/0x158 In ceph_unlink(), a call to ceph_mdsc_submit_request() submits the CEPH_MDS_OP_UNLINK to the MDS, but does not wait for completion. Meanwhile, between this call and the following drop_nlink() call, a worker thread may process a CEPH_CAP_OP_IMPORT, CEPH_CAP_OP_GRANT or just a CEPH_MSG_CLIENT_REPLY (the latter of which could be our own completion). These will lead to a set_nlink() call, updating the `i_nlink` counter to the value received from the MDS. If that new `i_nlink` value happens to be zero, it is illegal to decrement it further. But that is exactly what ceph_unlink() will do then. The WARNING can be reproduced this way: 1. Force async unlink; only the async code path is affected. Having no real clue about Ceph internals, I was unable to find out why the MDS wouldn't give me the "Fxr" capabilities, so I patched get_caps_for_async_unlink() to always succeed. (Note that the WARNING dump above was found on an unpatched kernel, without this kludge - this is not a theoretical bug.) 2. Add a sleep call after ceph_mdsc_submit_request() so the unlink completion gets handled by a worker thread before drop_nlink() is called. This guarantees that the `i_nlink` is already zero before drop_nlink() runs. The solution is to skip the counter decrement when it is already zero, but doing so without a lock is still racy (TOCTOU). Since ceph_fill_inode() and handle_cap_grant() both hold the `ceph_inode_info.i_ceph_lock` spinlock while set_nlink() runs, this seems like the proper lock to protect the `i_nlink` updates. I found prior art in NFS and SMB (using `inode.i_lock`) and AFS (using `afs_vnode.cb_lock`). All three have the zero check as well.

ceph: fix inode number handling on arches with 32-bit ino_t

2020-08-24T15:25:26+00:00

Tuan and Ulrich mentioned that they were hitting a problem on s390x, which has a 32-bit ino_t value, even though it's a 64-bit arch (for historical reasons). I think the current handling of inode numbers in the ceph driver is wrong. It tries to use 32-bit inode numbers on 32-bit arches, but that's actually not a problem. 32-bit arches can deal with 64-bit inode numbers just fine when userland code is compiled with LFS support (the common case these days). What we really want to do is just use 64-bit numbers everywhere, unless someone has mounted with the ino32 mount option. In that case, we want to ensure that we hash the inode number down to something that will fit in 32 bits before presenting the value to userland. Add new helper functions that do this, and only do the conversion before presenting these values to userland in getattr and readdir. The inode table hashvalue is changed to just cast the inode number to unsigned long, as low-order bits are the most likely to vary anyway. While it's not strictly required, we do want to put something in inode->i_ino. Instead of basing it on BITS_PER_LONG, however, base it on the size of the ino_t type. NOTE: This is a user-visible change on 32-bit arches: 1/ inode numbers will be seen to have changed between kernel versions. 32-bit arches will see large inode numbers now instead of the hashed ones they saw before. 2/ any really old software not built with LFS support may start failing stat() calls with -EOVERFLOW on inode numbers >2^32. Nothing much we can do about these, but hopefully the intersection of people running such code on ceph will be very small. The workaround for both problems is to mount with "-o ino32".

ceph: set sec_context xattr on symlink creation

Symlink inodes should have the security context set in their xattrs on creation. We already set the context on creation, but we don't attach the pagelist. The effect is that symlink inodes don't get an SELinux context set on them at creation, so they end up unlabeled instead of inheriting the proper context. Make it do so.

ceph: allow rename operation under different quota realms

2020-06-01T11:22:53+00:00

Returning -EXDEV when trying to 'mv' files/directories from different quota realms results in copy+unlink operations instead of the faster CEPH_MDS_OP_RENAME. This will occur even when there aren't any quotas set in the destination directory, or if there's enough space left for the new file(s). This patch adds a new helper function to be called on rename operations which will allow these operations if they can be executed. This patch mimics userland fuse client commit b8954e5734b3 ("client: optimize rename operation under different quota root"). Since ceph_quota_is_same_realm() is now called only from this new helper, make it static.
