virtiofs: fix UAF on submount umount

2026-07-04T11:39:37+00:00

commit 06b41351779e9289e8785694ade9042ae85e41ea upstream. iput() called from fuse_release_end() can Oops if the super block has already been destroyed. Normally this is prevented by waiting for num_waiting to go down to zero before commencing with super block shutdown. This only works, however, for the last submount instance, as the wait counter is per connection, not per superblock. Revert to using synchronous release requests for the auto_submounts case, which is virtiofs only at this time.

fuse: fix readahead reclaim deadlock

2026-01-19T12:10:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit bd5603eaae0aabf527bfb3ce1bb07e979ce5bd50 ] Commit e26ee4efbc79 ("fuse: allocate ff->release_args only if release is needed") skips allocating ff->release_args if the server does not implement open. However in doing so, fuse_prepare_release() now skips grabbing the reference on the inode, which makes it possible for an inode to be evicted from the dcache while there are inflight readahead requests. This causes a deadlock if the server triggers reclaim while servicing the readahead request and reclaim attempts to evict the inode of the file being read ahead. Since the folio is locked during readahead, when reclaim evicts the fuse inode and fuse_evict_inode() attempts to remove all folios associated with the inode from the page cache (truncate_inode_pages_range()), reclaim will block forever waiting for the lock since readahead cannot relinquish the lock because it is itself blocked in reclaim: >>> stack_trace(1504735) folio_wait_bit_common (mm/filemap.c:1308:4) folio_lock (./include/linux/pagemap.h:1052:3) truncate_inode_pages_range (mm/truncate.c:336:10) fuse_evict_inode (fs/fuse/inode.c:161:2) evict (fs/inode.c:704:3) dentry_unlink_inode (fs/dcache.c:412:3) __dentry_kill (fs/dcache.c:615:3) shrink_kill (fs/dcache.c:1060:12) shrink_dentry_list (fs/dcache.c:1087:3) prune_dcache_sb (fs/dcache.c:1168:2) super_cache_scan (fs/super.c:221:10) do_shrink_slab (mm/shrinker.c:435:9) shrink_slab (mm/shrinker.c:626:10) shrink_node (mm/vmscan.c:5951:2) shrink_zones (mm/vmscan.c:6195:3) do_try_to_free_pages (mm/vmscan.c:6257:3) do_swap_page (mm/memory.c:4136:11) handle_pte_fault (mm/memory.c:5562:10) handle_mm_fault (mm/memory.c:5870:9) do_user_addr_fault (arch/x86/mm/fault.c:1338:10) handle_page_fault (arch/x86/mm/fault.c:1481:3) exc_page_fault (arch/x86/mm/fault.c:1539:2) asm_exc_page_fault+0x22/0x27 Fix this deadlock by allocating ff->release_args and grabbing the reference on the inode when preparing the file for release even if the server does not implement open.

fuse: fix livelock in synchronous file put from fuseblk workers

2025-10-29T13:03:14+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: # cat /proc/372265/task/372313/stack [<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: # cat /proc/372210/task/372232/stack [<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

2025-10-02T11:39:01+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: fix dax truncate/punch_hole fault path

2025-04-10T12:32:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7851bf649d423edd7286b292739f2eefded3d35c ] Patch series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts", v9. Device and FS DAX pages have always maintained their own page reference counts without following the normal rules for page reference counting. In particular pages are considered free when the refcount hits one rather than zero and refcounts are not added when mapping the page. Tracking this requires special PTE bits (PTE_DEVMAP) and a secondary mechanism for allowing GUP to hold references on the page (see get_dev_pagemap). However there doesn't seem to be any reason why FS DAX pages need their own reference counting scheme. By treating the refcounts on these pages the same way as normal pages we can remove a lot of special checks. In particular pXd_trans_huge() becomes the same as pXd_leaf(), although I haven't made that change here. It also frees up a valuable SW define PTE bit on architectures that have devmap PTE bits defined. It also almost certainly allows further clean-up of the devmap managed functions, but I have left that as a future improvment. It also enables support for compound ZONE_DEVICE pages which is one of my primary motivators for doing this work. This patch (of 20): FS DAX requires file systems to call into the DAX layout prior to unlinking inodes to ensure there is no ongoing DMA or other remote access to the direct mapped page. The fuse file system implements fuse_dax_break_layouts() to do this which includes a comment indicating that passing dmap_end == 0 leads to unmapping of the whole file. However this is not true - passing dmap_end == 0 will not unmap anything before dmap_start, and further more dax_layout_busy_page_range() will not scan any of the range to see if there maybe ongoing DMA access to the range. Fix this by passing -1 for dmap_end to fuse_dax_break_layouts() which will invalidate the entire file range to dax_layout_busy_page_range().

fuse: fix deadlock between atomic O_TRUNC and page invalidation

2023-04-26T11:51:54+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().
