2016-08-10locks: use file_inode()Miklos Szeredi1-1/+1
commit 6343a2120862f7023006c8091ad95c1f16a32077 upstream. (Another one for the f_path debacle.) ltp fcntl33 testcase caused an Oops in selinux_file_send_sigiotask. The reason is that generic_add_lease() used filp->f_path.dentry->inode while all the others use file_inode(). This makes a difference for files opened on overlayfs since the former will point to the overlay inode the latter to the underlying inode. So generic_add_lease() added the lease to the overlay inode and generic_delete_lease() removed it from the underlying inode. When the file was released the lease remained on the overlay inode's lock list, resulting in use after free.

2016-03-04locks: fix unlock when fcntl_setlk races with a closeJeff Layton1-21/+30
commit 7f3697e24dc3820b10f445a4a7d914fc356012d1 upstream. Dmitry reported that he was able to reproduce the WARN_ON_ONCE that fires in locks_free_lock_context when the flc_posix list isn't empty. The problem turns out to be that we're basically rebuilding the file_lock from scratch in fcntl_setlk when we discover that the setlk has raced with a close. If the l_whence field is SEEK_CUR or SEEK_END, then we may end up with fl_start and fl_end values that differ from when the lock was initially set, if the file position or length of the file has changed in the interim. Fix this by just reusing the same lock request structure, and simply override fl_type value with F_UNLCK as appropriate. That ensures that we really are unlocking the lock that was initially set. While we're there, make sure that we do pop a WARN_ON_ONCE if the removal ever fails. Also return -EBADF in this event, since that's what we would have returned if the close had happened earlier.

2015-09-21fs: fix data races on inode->i_flctxDmitry Vyukov1-27/+36
locks_get_lock_context() uses cmpxchg() to install i_flctx. cmpxchg() is a release operation which is correct. But it uses a plain load to load i_flctx. This is incorrect. Subsequent loads from i_flctx can hoist above the load of i_flctx pointer itself and observe uninitialized garbage there. This in turn can lead to corruption of ctx->flc_lock and other members. Documentation/memory-barriers.txt explicitly requires to use a barrier in such context: "A load-load control dependency requires a full read memory barrier". Use smp_load_acquire() in locks_get_lock_context() and in bunch of other functions that can proceed concurrently with locks_get_lock_context().

...and rename it to better describe how it works. In order to fix a use-after-free in NFS, we need to be able to remove locks from an inode after the filp associated with them may have already been freed. flock_lock_file already only dereferences the filp to get to the inode, so just change it so the callers do that. All of the callers already pass in a lock request that has the fl_file set properly, so we don't need to pass it in individually.

2015-04-17proc: show locks in /proc/pid/fdinfo/XAndrey Vagin1-0/+38
Let's show locks which are associated with a file descriptor in its fdinfo file. Currently we don't have a reliable way to determine who holds a lock. We can find some information in /proc/locks, but PID which is reported there can be wrong. For example, a process takes a lock, then forks a child and dies. In this case /proc/locks contains the parent pid, which can be reused by another process. $ cat /proc/locks ... 6: FLOCK ADVISORY WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF ... $ ps -C rpcbind PID TTY TIME CMD 332 ? 00:00:00 rpcbind $ cat /proc/332/fdinfo/4 pos: 0 flags: 0100000 mnt_id: 22 lock: 1: FLOCK ADVISORY WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF $ ls -l /proc/332/fd/4 lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Mar 5 14:43 /proc/332/fd/4 -> /run/rpcbind.lock $ ls -l /proc/324/fd/ total 0 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 0 -> /dev/pts/0 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 1 -> /dev/pts/0 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:49 2 -> /dev/pts/0 You can see that the process with the 324 pid doesn't hold the lock.

2015-04-03locks: use cmpxchg to assign i_flctx pointerJeff Layton1-8/+1
During the v3.20/v4.0 cycle, I had originally had the code manage the inode->i_flctx pointer using a compare-and-swap operation instead of the i_lock. Sasha Levin though hit a problem while testing with trinity that made me believe that that wasn't safe. At the time, changing the code to protect the i_flctx pointer seemed to fix the issue, but I now think that was just coincidence. The issue was likely the same race that Kirill Shutemov hit while testing the pre-rc1 v4.0 kernel and that Linus spotted. Due to the way that the spinlock was dropped in the middle of flock_lock_file, you could end up with multiple flock locks for the same struct file on the inode. Reinstate the use of a CAS operation to assign this pointer since it's likely to be more efficient and gets the i_lock completely out of the file locking business.

2015-03-05locks: fix fasync_struct memory leak in lease upgrade/downgrade handlingJeff Layton1-1/+2
Commit 8634b51f6ca2 (locks: convert lease handling to file_lock_context) introduced a regression in the handling of lease upgrade/downgrades. In the event that we already have a lease on a file and are going to either upgrade or downgrade it, we skip doing any list insertion or deletion and simply re-call lm_setup on the existing lease. As of commit 8634b51f6ca2 however, we end up calling lm_setup on the lease that was passed in, instead of on the existing lease. This causes us to leak the fasync_struct that was allocated in the event that there was not already an existing one (as it always appeared that there wasn't one).

2015-02-17locks: remove conditional lock release in middle of flock_lock_fileJeff Layton1-10/+0
As Linus pointed out: Say we have an existing flock, and now do a new one that conflicts. I see what looks like three separate bugs. - We go through the first loop, find a lock of another type, and delete it in preparation for replacing it - we *drop* the lock context spinlock. - BUG #1? So now there is no lock at all, and somebody can come in and see that unlocked state. Is that really valid? - another thread comes in while the first thread dropped the lock context lock, and wants to add its own lock. It doesn't see the deleted or pending locks, so it just adds it - the first thread gets the context spinlock again, and adds the lock that replaced the original - BUG #2? So now there are *two* locks on the thing, and the next time you do an unlock (or when you close the file), it will only remove/replace the first one. ...remove the "drop the spinlock" code in the middle of this function as it has always been suspicious. This should eliminate the potential race that can leave two locks for the same struct file on the list. He also pointed out another thing as a bug -- namely that you flock_lock_file removes the lock from the list unconditionally when doing a lock upgrade, without knowing whether it'll be able to set the new lock. Bruce pointed out that this is expected behavior and may help prevent certain deadlock situations. We may want to revisit that at some point, but it's probably best that we do so in the context of a different patchset.

2015-02-02fs: add FL_LAYOUT lease typeChristoph Hellwig1-4/+10
This (ab-)uses the file locking code to allow filesystems to recall outstanding pNFS layouts on a file. This new lease type is similar but not quite the same as FL_DELEG. A FL_LAYOUT lease can always be granted, an a per-filesystem lock (XFS iolock for the initial implementation) ensures not FL_LAYOUT leases granted when we would need to recall them. Also included are changes that allow multiple outstanding read leases of different types on the same file as long as they have a differnt owner. This wasn't a problem until now as nfsd never set FL_LEASE leases, and no one else used FL_DELEG leases, but given that nfsd will also issues FL_LAYOUT leases we will have to handle it now.

2015-01-16locks: add a new struct file_locking_context pointer to struct inodeJeff Layton1-0/+44
The current scheme of using the i_flock list is really difficult to manage. There is also a legitimate desire for a per-inode spinlock to manage these lists that isn't the i_lock. Start conversion to a new scheme to eventually replace the old i_flock list with a new "file_lock_context" object. We start by adding a new i_flctx to struct inode. For now, it lives in parallel with i_flock list, but will eventually replace it. The idea is to allocate a structure to sit in that pointer and act as a locus for all things file locking. We allocate a file_lock_context for an inode when the first lock is added to it, and it's only freed when the inode is freed. We use the i_lock to protect the assignment, but afterward it should mostly be accessed locklessly. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@primarydata.com> Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

I think that the intent of this code was to ensure that a process won't deadlock if it has one fd open with a lease on it and then breaks that lease by opening another fd.

Also get rid of some of the other comments about what's needed for a full implementation. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@primarydata.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
