fuse: fix livelock in synchronous file put from fuseblk workers

2025-10-29T13:01:24+00:00

[ Upstream commit 26e5c67deb2e1f42a951f022fdf5b9f7eb747b01 ] I observed a hang when running generic/323 against a fuseblk server. This test opens a file, initiates a lot of AIO writes to that file descriptor, and closes the file descriptor before the writes complete. Unsurprisingly, the AIO exerciser threads are mostly stuck waiting for responses from the fuseblk server: [<0>] request_wait_answer+0x1fe/0x2a0 [fuse] [<0>] __fuse_simple_request+0xd3/0x2b0 [fuse] [<0>] fuse_do_getattr+0xfc/0x1f0 [fuse] [<0>] fuse_file_read_iter+0xbe/0x1c0 [fuse] [<0>] aio_read+0x130/0x1e0 [<0>] io_submit_one+0x542/0x860 [<0>] __x64_sys_io_submit+0x98/0x1a0 [<0>] do_syscall_64+0x37/0xf0 [<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53 But the /weird/ part is that the fuseblk server threads are waiting for responses from itself: [<0>] request_wait_answer+0x1fe/0x2a0 [fuse] [<0>] __fuse_simple_request+0xd3/0x2b0 [fuse] [<0>] fuse_file_put+0x9a/0xd0 [fuse] [<0>] fuse_release+0x36/0x50 [fuse] [<0>] __fput+0xec/0x2b0 [<0>] task_work_run+0x55/0x90 [<0>] syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0xe9/0x100 [<0>] do_syscall_64+0x43/0xf0 [<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53 The fuseblk server is fuse2fs so there's nothing all that exciting in the server itself. So why is the fuse server calling fuse_file_put? The commit message for the fstest sheds some light on that: "By closing the file descriptor before calling io_destroy, you pretty much guarantee that the last put on the ioctx will be done in interrupt context (during I/O completion). Aha. AIO fgets a new struct file from the fd when it queues the ioctx. The completion of the FUSE_WRITE command from userspace causes the fuse server to call the AIO completion function. The completion puts the struct file, queuing a delayed fput to the fuse server task. When the fuse server task returns to userspace, it has to run the delayed fput, which in the case of a fuseblk server, it does synchronously. Sending the FUSE_RELEASE command sychronously from fuse server threads is a bad idea because a client program can initiate enough simultaneous AIOs such that all the fuse server threads end up in delayed_fput, and now there aren't any threads left to handle the queued fuse commands. Fix this by only using asynchronous fputs when closing files, and leave a comment explaining why.

fuse: prevent overflow in copy_file_range return value

2025-10-02T11:35:37+00:00

commit 1e08938c3694f707bb165535df352ac97a8c75c9 upstream. The FUSE protocol uses struct fuse_write_out to convey the return value of copy_file_range, which is restricted to uint32_t. But the COPY_FILE_RANGE interface supports a 64-bit size copies. Currently the number of bytes copied is silently truncated to 32-bit, which may result in poor performance or even failure to copy in case of truncation to zero.

fuse: check if copy_file_range() returns larger than requested size

commit e5203209b3935041dac541bc5b37efb44220cc0b upstream. Just like write(), copy_file_range() should check if the return value is less or equal to the requested number of bytes.

In the case where the aux writeback list is dropped (e.g. the pages have been truncated or the connection is broken), the stats for its pages and backing device info need to be updated as well.

fuse: fix deadlock between atomic O_TRUNC and page invalidation

2023-04-26T09:27:41+00:00

commit 2fdbb8dd01556e1501132b5ad3826e8f71e24a8b upstream. fuse_finish_open() will be called with FUSE_NOWRITE set in case of atomic O_TRUNC open(), so commit 76224355db75 ("fuse: truncate pagecache on atomic_o_trunc") replaced invalidate_inode_pages2() by truncate_pagecache() in such a case to avoid the A-A deadlock. However, we found another A-B-B-A deadlock related to the case above, which will cause the xfstests generic/464 testcase hung in our virtio-fs test environment. For example, consider two processes concurrently open one same file, one with O_TRUNC and another without O_TRUNC. The deadlock case is described below, if open(O_TRUNC) is already set_nowrite(acquired A), and is trying to lock a page (acquiring B), open() could have held the page lock (acquired B), and waiting on the page writeback (acquiring A). This would lead to deadlocks. open(O_TRUNC) ---------------------------------------------------------------- fuse_open_common inode_lock [C acquire] fuse_set_nowrite [A acquire] fuse_finish_open truncate_pagecache lock_page [B acquire] truncate_inode_page unlock_page [B release] fuse_release_nowrite [A release] inode_unlock [C release] ---------------------------------------------------------------- open() ---------------------------------------------------------------- fuse_open_common fuse_finish_open invalidate_inode_pages2 lock_page [B acquire] fuse_launder_page fuse_wait_on_page_writeback [A acquire & release] unlock_page [B release] ---------------------------------------------------------------- Besides this case, all calls of invalidate_inode_pages2() and invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse code also can deadlock with open(O_TRUNC). Fix by moving the truncate_pagecache() call outside the nowrite protected region. The nowrite protection is only for delayed writeback (writeback_cache) case, where inode lock does not protect against truncation racing with writes on the server. Write syscalls racing with page cache truncation still get the inode lock protection. This patch also changes the order of filemap_invalidate_lock() vs. fuse_set_nowrite() in fuse_open_common(). This new order matches the order found in fuse_file_fallocate() and fuse_do_setattr().

commit 484ce65715b06aead8c4901f01ca32c5a240bc71 upstream. A READ request returning a short count is taken as indication of EOF, and the cached file size is modified accordingly.

fuse: lock inode unconditionally in fuse_fallocate()

commit 44361e8cf9ddb23f17bdcc40ca944abf32e83e79 upstream. file_modified() must be called with inode lock held. fuse_fallocate() didn't lock the inode in case of just FALLOC_KEEP_SIZE flags value, which resulted in a kernel Warning in notify_change(). Lock the inode unconditionally, like all other fallocate implementations do.

fuse: fix pipe buffer lifetime for direct_io

2022-03-16T13:16:01+00:00

commit 0c4bcfdecb1ac0967619ee7ff44871d93c08c909 upstream. In FOPEN_DIRECT_IO mode, fuse_file_write_iter() calls fuse_direct_write_iter(), which normally calls fuse_direct_io(), which then imports the write buffer with fuse_get_user_pages(), which uses iov_iter_get_pages() to grab references to userspace pages instead of actually copying memory. On the filesystem device side, these pages can then either be read to userspace (via fuse_dev_read()), or splice()d over into a pipe using fuse_dev_splice_read() as pipe buffers with &nosteal_pipe_buf_ops. This is wrong because after fuse_dev_do_read() unlocks the FUSE request, the userspace filesystem can mark the request as completed, causing write() to return. At that point, the userspace filesystem should no longer have access to the pipe buffer. Fix by copying pages coming from the user address space to new pipe buffers.

fuse: Pass correct lend value to filemap_write_and_wait_range()

2022-01-27T09:54:25+00:00

commit e388164ea385f04666c4633f5dc4f951fca71890 upstream. The acceptable maximum value of lend parameter in filemap_write_and_wait_range() is LLONG_MAX rather than -1. And there is also some logic depending on LLONG_MAX check in write_cache_pages(). So let's pass LLONG_MAX to filemap_write_and_wait_range() in fuse_writeback_range() instead.
