ceph: add a bunch of missing ceph_path_info initializers

2026-03-19T15:15:10+00:00

commit 43323a5934b660afae687e8e4e95ac328615a5c4 upstream. ceph_mdsc_build_path() must be called with a zero-initialized ceph_path_info parameter, or else the following ceph_mdsc_free_path_info() may crash. Example crash (on Linux 6.18.12): virt_to_cache: Object is not a Slab page! WARNING: CPU: 184 PID: 2871736 at mm/slub.c:6732 kmem_cache_free+0x316/0x400 [...] Call Trace: [...] ceph_open+0x13d/0x3e0 do_dentry_open+0x134/0x480 vfs_open+0x2a/0xe0 path_openat+0x9a3/0x1160 [...] cache_from_obj: Wrong slab cache. names_cache but object is from ceph_inode_info WARNING: CPU: 184 PID: 2871736 at mm/slub.c:6746 kmem_cache_free+0x2dd/0x400 [...] kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:634! Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI RIP: 0010:__slab_free+0x1a4/0x350 Some of the ceph_mdsc_build_path() callers had initializers, but others had not, even though they were all added by commit 15f519e9f883 ("ceph: fix race condition validating r_parent before applying state"). The ones without initializer are suspectible to random crashes. (I can imagine it could even be possible to exploit this bug to elevate privileges.) Unfortunately, these Ceph functions are undocumented and its semantics can only be derived from the code. I see that ceph_mdsc_build_path() initializes the structure only on success, but not on error. Calling ceph_mdsc_free_path_info() after a failed ceph_mdsc_build_path() call does not even make sense, but that's what all callers do, and for it to be safe, the structure must be zero-initialized. The least intrusive approach to fix this is therefore to add initializers everywhere.

Quoting the cover letter: This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition. As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in RAM across the kexec reboot.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Allow creaing nbcon console drivers with an unsafe write_atomic() callback that can only be called by the final nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe(). Otherwise, the driver would rely on the kthread. It is going to be used as the-best-effort approach for an experimental nbcon netconsole driver, see https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251121-nbcon-v1-2-503d17b2b4af@debian.org Note that a safe .write_atomic() callback is supposed to work in NMI context. But some networking drivers are not safe even in IRQ context: https://lore.kernel.org/r/oc46gdpmmlly5o44obvmoatfqo5bhpgv7pabpvb6sjuqioymcg@gjsma3ghoz35 In an ideal world, all networking drivers would be fixed first and the atomic flush would be blocked only in NMI context. But it brings the question how reliable networking drivers are when the system is in a bad state. They might block flushing more reliable serial consoles which are more suitable for serious debugging anyway. - Allow to use the last 4 bytes of the printk ring buffer. - Prevent queuing IRQ work and block printk kthreads when consoles are suspended. Otherwise, they create non-necessary churn or even block the suspend. - Release console_lock() between each record in the kthread used for legacy consoles on RT. It might significantly speed up the boot. - Release nbcon context between each record in the atomic flush. It prevents stalls of the related printk kthread after it has lost the ownership in the middle of a record - Add support for NBCON consoles into KDB - Add %ptsP modifier for printing struct timespec64 and use it where possible - Misc code clean up * tag 'printk-for-6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux: (48 commits) printk: Use console_is_usable on console_unblank arch: um: kmsg_dump: Use console_is_usable drivers: serial: kgdboc: Drop checks for CON_ENABLED and CON_BOOT lib/vsprintf: Unify FORMAT_STATE_NUM handlers printk: Avoid irq_work for printk_deferred() on suspend printk: Avoid scheduling irq_work on suspend printk: Allow printk_trigger_flush() to flush all types tracing: Switch to use %ptSp scsi: snic: Switch to use %ptSp scsi: fnic: Switch to use %ptSp s390/dasd: Switch to use %ptSp ptp: ocp: Switch to use %ptSp pps: Switch to use %ptSp PCI: epf-test: Switch to use %ptSp net: dsa: sja1105: Switch to use %ptSp mmc: mmc_test: Switch to use %ptSp media: av7110: Switch to use %ptSp ipmi: Switch to use %ptSp igb: Switch to use %ptSp e1000e: Switch to use %ptSp ...

ceph: replace local base64 helpers with lib/base64

2025-11-20T22:03:44+00:00

Remove the ceph_base64_encode() and ceph_base64_decode() functions and replace their usage with the generic base64_encode() and base64_decode() helpers from lib/base64. This eliminates the custom implementation in Ceph, reduces code duplication, and relies on the shared Base64 code in lib. The helpers preserve RFC 3501-compliant Base64 encoding without padding, so there are no functional changes. This change also improves performance: encoding is about 2.7x faster and decoding achieves 43-52x speedups compared to the previous local implementation.

ceph: fix potential NULL dereference issue in ceph_fill_trace()

2025-10-08T21:30:47+00:00

The Coverity Scan service has detected a potential dereference of an explicit NULL value in ceph_fill_trace() [1]. The variable in is declared in the beggining of ceph_fill_trace() [2]: struct inode *in = NULL; However, the initialization of the variable is happening under condition [3]: if (rinfo->head->is_target) { in = req->r_target_inode; } Potentially, if rinfo->head->is_target == FALSE, then in variable continues to be NULL and later the dereference of NULL value could happen in ceph_fill_trace() logic [4,5]: else if ((req->r_op == CEPH_MDS_OP_LOOKUPSNAP || req->r_op == CEPH_MDS_OP_MKSNAP) && test_bit(CEPH_MDS_R_PARENT_LOCKED, &req->r_req_flags) && !test_bit(CEPH_MDS_R_ABORTED, &req->r_req_flags)) { ihold(in); err = splice_dentry(&req->r_dentry, in); if (err < 0) goto done; } This patch adds the checking of in variable for NULL value and it returns -EINVAL error code if it has NULL value. v2 Alex Markuze suggested to add unlikely macro in the checking condition.

Pull vfs inode updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains a series I originally wrote and that Eric brought over the finish line. It moves out the i_crypt_info and i_verity_info pointers out of 'struct inode' and into the fs-specific part of the inode. So now the few filesytems that actually make use of this pay the price in their own private inode storage instead of forcing it upon every user of struct inode. The pointer for the crypt and verity info is simply found by storing an offset to its address in struct fsverity_operations and struct fscrypt_operations. This shrinks struct inode by 16 bytes. I hope to move a lot more out of it in the future so that struct inode becomes really just about very core stuff that we need, much like struct dentry and struct file, instead of the dumping ground it has become over the years. On top of this are a various changes associated with the ongoing inode lifetime handling rework that multiple people are pushing forward: - Stop accessing inode->i_count directly in f2fs and gfs2. They simply should use the __iget() and iput() helpers - Make the i_state flags an enum - Rework the iput() logic Currently, if we are the last iput, and we have the I_DIRTY_TIME bit set, we will grab a reference on the inode again and then mark it dirty and then redo the put. This is to make sure we delay the time update for as long as possible We can rework this logic to simply dec i_count if it is not 1, and if it is do the time update while still holding the i_count reference Then we can replace the atomic_dec_and_lock with locking the ->i_lock and doing atomic_dec_and_test, since we did the atomic_add_unless above - Add an icount_read() helper and convert everyone that accesses inode->i_count directly for this purpose to use the helper - Expand dump_inode() to dump more information about an inode helping in debugging - Add some might_sleep() annotations to iput() and associated helpers" * tag 'vfs-6.18-rc1.inode' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: add might_sleep() annotation to iput() and more fs: expand dump_inode() inode: fix whitespace issues fs: add an icount_read helper fs: rework iput logic fs: make the i_state flags an enum fs: stop accessing ->i_count directly in f2fs and gfs2 fsverity: check IS_VERITY() in fsverity_cleanup_inode() fs: remove inode::i_verity_info btrfs: move verity info pointer to fs-specific part of inode f2fs: move verity info pointer to fs-specific part of inode ext4: move verity info pointer to fs-specific part of inode fsverity: add support for info in fs-specific part of inode fs: remove inode::i_crypt_info ceph: move crypt info pointer to fs-specific part of inode ubifs: move crypt info pointer to fs-specific part of inode f2fs: move crypt info pointer to fs-specific part of inode ext4: move crypt info pointer to fs-specific part of inode fscrypt: add support for info in fs-specific part of inode fscrypt: replace raw loads of info pointer with helper function

ceph: fix race condition where r_parent becomes stale before sending message

2025-09-09T10:57:02+00:00

When the parent directory's i_rwsem is not locked, req->r_parent may become stale due to concurrent operations (e.g. rename) between dentry lookup and message creation. Validate that r_parent matches the encoded parent inode and update to the correct inode if a mismatch is detected. [ idryomov: folded a follow-up fix from Alex to drop extra reference from ceph_get_reply_dir() in ceph_fill_trace(): ceph_get_reply_dir() may return a different, referenced inode when r_parent is stale and the parent directory lock is not held. ceph_fill_trace() used that inode but failed to drop the reference when it differed from req->r_parent, leaking an inode reference. Keep the directory inode in a local variable and iput() it at function end if it does not match req->r_parent. ] Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alex Markuze Reviewed-by: Viacheslav Dubeyko Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov
