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.

virtiofs: add filesystem context source name check

commit a94fd938df2b1628da66b498aa0eeb89593bc7a2 upstream. In certain scenarios, for example, during fuzz testing, the source name may be NULL, which could lead to a kernel panic. Therefore, an extra check for the source name should be added.

fuse: don't truncate cached, mutated symlink

2025-04-10T12:30:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit b4c173dfbb6c78568578ff18f9e8822d7bd0e31b ] Fuse allows the value of a symlink to change and this property is exploited by some filesystems (e.g. CVMFS). It has been observed, that sometimes after changing the symlink contents, the value is truncated to the old size. This is caused by fuse_getattr() racing with fuse_reverse_inval_inode(). fuse_reverse_inval_inode() updates the fuse_inode's attr_version, which results in fuse_change_attributes() exiting before updating the cached attributes This is okay, as the cached attributes remain invalid and the next call to fuse_change_attributes() will likely update the inode with the correct values. The reason this causes problems is that cached symlinks will be returned through page_get_link(), which truncates the symlink to inode->i_size. This is correct for filesystems that don't mutate symlinks, but in this case it causes bad behavior. The solution is to just remove this truncation. This can cause a regression in a filesystem that relies on supplying a symlink larger than the file size, but this is unlikely. If that happens we'd need to make this behavior conditional.

fuse: use unsigned type for getxattr/listxattr size truncation

2024-09-12T09:06:43+00:00

commit b18915248a15eae7d901262f108d6ff0ffb4ffc1 upstream. The existing code uses min_t(ssize_t, outarg.size, XATTR_LIST_MAX) when parsing the FUSE daemon's response to a zero-length getxattr/listxattr request. On 32-bit kernels, where ssize_t and outarg.size are the same size, this is wrong: The min_t() will pass through any size values that are negative when interpreted as signed. fuse_listxattr() will then return this userspace-supplied negative value, which callers will treat as an error value. This kind of bug pattern can lead to fairly bad security bugs because of how error codes are used in the Linux kernel. If a caller were to convert the numeric error into an error pointer, like so: struct foo *func(...) { int len = fuse_getxattr(..., NULL, 0); if (len < 0) return ERR_PTR(len); ... } then it would end up returning this userspace-supplied negative value cast to a pointer - but the caller of this function wouldn't recognize it as an error pointer (IS_ERR_VALUE() only detects values in the narrow range in which legitimate errno values are), and so it would just be treated as a kernel pointer. I think there is at least one theoretical codepath where this could happen, but that path would involve virtio-fs with submounts plus some weird SELinux configuration, so I think it's probably not a concern in practice.

fuse: Initialize beyond-EOF page contents before setting uptodate

2024-09-04T11:17:29+00:00

commit 3c0da3d163eb32f1f91891efaade027fa9b245b9 upstream. fuse_notify_store(), unlike fuse_do_readpage(), does not enable page zeroing (because it can be used to change partial page contents). So fuse_notify_store() must be more careful to fully initialize page contents (including parts of the page that are beyond end-of-file) before marking the page uptodate. The current code can leave beyond-EOF page contents uninitialized, which makes these uninitialized page contents visible to userspace via mmap(). This is an information leak, but only affects systems which do not enable init-on-alloc (via CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON=y or the corresponding kernel command line parameter).

fuse: verify {g,u}id mount options correctly

[ Upstream commit 525bd65aa759ec320af1dc06e114ed69733e9e23 ] As was done in 0200679fc795 ("tmpfs: verify {g,u}id mount options correctly") we need to validate that the requested uid and/or gid is representable in the filesystem's idmapping. Cribbing from the above commit log, The contract for {g,u}id mount options and {g,u}id values in general set from userspace has always been that they are translated according to the caller's idmapping. In so far, fuse has been doing the correct thing. But since fuse is mountable in unprivileged contexts it is also necessary to verify that the resulting {k,g}uid is representable in the namespace of the superblock.
