fscache, cachefiles: remove redundant variable 'cache'

2018-11-30T16:00:58Z

Variable 'cache' is being assigned but is never used hence it is redundant and can be removed. Cleans up clang warning: warning: variable 'cache' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King Signed-off-by: David Howells

cachefiles: avoid deprecated get_seconds()

2018-11-30T16:00:58Z

get_seconds() returns an unsigned long can overflow on some architectures and is deprecated because of that. In cachefs, we cast that number to a a 32-bit integer, which will overflow in year 2106 on all architectures. As confirmed by David Howells, the overflow probably isn't harmful in the end, since the timestamps are only used to make the file names unique, but they don't strictly have to be in monotonically increasing order since the files only exist in order to be deleted as quickly as possible. Moving to ktime_get_real_seconds() avoids the deprecated interface. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: David Howells

cachefiles: Fix page leak in cachefiles_read_backing_file while vmscan is active

2018-11-28T14:47:05Z

[Description] In a heavily loaded system where the system pagecache is nearing memory limits and fscache is enabled, pages can be leaked by fscache while trying read pages from cachefiles backend. This can happen because two applications can be reading same page from a single mount, two threads can be trying to read the backing page at same time. This results in one of the threads finding that a page for the backing file or netfs file is already in the radix tree. During the error handling cachefiles does not clean up the reference on backing page, leading to page leak. [Fix] The fix is straightforward, to decrement the reference when error is encountered. [dhowells: Note that I've removed the clearance and put of newpage as they aren't attested in the commit message and don't appear to actually achieve anything since a new page is only allocated is newpage!=NULL and any residual new page is cleared before returning.] [Testing] I have tested the fix using following method for 12+ hrs. 1) mkdir -p /mnt/nfs ; mount -o vers=3,fsc :/export /mnt/nfs 2) create 10000 files of 2.8MB in a NFS mount. 3) start a thread to simulate heavy VM presssure (while true ; do echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches ; sleep 1 ; done)& 4) start multiple parallel reader for data set at same time find /mnt/nfs -type f | xargs -P 80 cat > /dev/null & find /mnt/nfs -type f | xargs -P 80 cat > /dev/null & find /mnt/nfs -type f | xargs -P 80 cat > /dev/null & .. .. find /mnt/nfs -type f | xargs -P 80 cat > /dev/null & find /mnt/nfs -type f | xargs -P 80 cat > /dev/null & 5) finally check using cat /proc/fs/fscache/stats | grep -i pages ; free -h , cat /proc/meminfo and page-types -r -b lru to ensure all pages are freed.

cachefiles: Fix an assertion failure when trying to update a failed object

2018-11-28T13:19:20Z

If cachefiles gets an error other then ENOENT when trying to look up an object in the cache (in this case, EACCES), the object state machine will eventually transition to the DROP_OBJECT state. This state invokes fscache_drop_object() which tries to sync the auxiliary data with the cache (this is done lazily since commit 402cb8dda949d) on an incomplete cache object struct. The problem comes when cachefiles_update_object_xattr() is called to rewrite the xattr holding the data. There's an assertion there that the cache object points to a dentry as we're going to update its xattr. The assertion trips, however, as dentry didn't get set. Fix the problem by skipping the update in cachefiles if the object doesn't refer to a dentry. A better way to do it could be to skip the update from the DROP_OBJECT state handler in fscache, but that might deny the cache the opportunity to update intermediate state. If this error occurs, the kernel log includes lines that look like the following: CacheFiles: Lookup failed error -13 CacheFiles: CacheFiles: Assertion failed ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/cachefiles/xattr.c:138! ...

cachefiles: fix the race between cachefiles_bury_object() and rmdir(2)

2018-10-18T09:32:21Z

the victim might've been rmdir'ed just before the lock_rename(); unlike the normal callers, we do not look the source up after the parents are locked - we know it beforehand and just recheck that it's still the child of what used to be its parent. Unfortunately, the check is too weak - we don't spot a dead directory since its ->d_parent is unchanged, dentry is positive, etc. So we sail all the way to ->rename(), with hosting filesystems _not_ expecting to be asked renaming an rmdir'ed subdirectory. The fix is easy, fortunately - the lock on parent is sufficient for making IS_DEADDIR() on child safe.

cachefiles: Wait rather than BUG'ing on "Unexpected object collision"

2018-07-25T13:49:00Z

If we meet a conflicting object that is marked FSCACHE_OBJECT_IS_LIVE in the active object tree, we have been emitting a BUG after logging information about it and the new object. Instead, we should wait for the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag to be cleared on the old object (or return an error). The ACTIVE flag should be cleared after it has been removed from the active object tree. A timeout of 60s is used in the wait, so we shouldn't be able to get stuck there.

cachefiles: Fix missing clear of the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag

2018-07-25T13:49:00Z

In cachefiles_mark_object_active(), the new object is marked active and then we try to add it to the active object tree. If a conflicting object is already present, we want to wait for that to go away. After the wait, we go round again and try to re-mark the object as being active - but it's already marked active from the first time we went through and a BUG is issued. Fix this by clearing the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag before we try again. Analysis from Kiran Kumar Modukuri: [Impact] Oops during heavy NFS + FSCache + Cachefiles CacheFiles: Error: Overlong wait for old active object to go away. BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000002 CacheFiles: Error: Object already active kernel BUG at fs/cachefiles/namei.c:163! [Cause] In a heavily loaded system with big files being read and truncated, an fscache object for a cookie is being dropped and a new object being looked. The new object being looked for has to wait for the old object to go away before the new object is moved to active state. [Fix] Clear the flag 'CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE' for the new object when retrying the object lookup. [Testcase] Have run ~100 hours of NFS stress tests and have not seen this bug recur.

fscache: Fix reference overput in fscache_attach_object() error handling

2018-07-25T13:49:00Z

When a cookie is allocated that causes fscache_object structs to be allocated, those objects are initialised with the cookie pointer, but aren't blessed with a ref on that cookie unless the attachment is successfully completed in fscache_attach_object(). If attachment fails because the parent object was dying or there was a collision, fscache_attach_object() returns without incrementing the cookie counter - but upon failure of this function, the object is released which then puts the cookie, whether or not a ref was taken on the cookie. Fix this by taking a ref on the cookie when it is assigned in fscache_object_init(), even when we're creating a root object. Analysis from Kiran Kumar: This bug has been seen in 4.4.0-124-generic #148-Ubuntu kernel BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1776277 fscache cookie ref count updated incorrectly during fscache object allocation resulting in following Oops. kernel BUG at /build/linux-Y09MKI/linux-4.4.0/fs/fscache/internal.h:321! kernel BUG at /build/linux-Y09MKI/linux-4.4.0/fs/fscache/cookie.c:639! [Cause] Two threads are trying to do operate on a cookie and two objects. (1) One thread tries to unmount the filesystem and in process goes over a huge list of objects marking them dead and deleting the objects. cookie->usage is also decremented in following path: nfs_fscache_release_super_cookie -> __fscache_relinquish_cookie ->__fscache_cookie_put ->BUG_ON(atomic_read(&cookie->usage) <= 0); (2) A second thread tries to lookup an object for reading data in following path: fscache_alloc_object 1) cachefiles_alloc_object -> fscache_object_init -> assign cookie, but usage not bumped. 2) fscache_attach_object -> fails in cant_attach_object because the cookie's backing object or cookie's->parent object are going away 3) fscache_put_object -> cachefiles_put_object ->fscache_object_destroy ->fscache_cookie_put ->BUG_ON(atomic_read(&cookie->usage) <= 0); [NOTE from dhowells] It's unclear as to the circumstances in which (2) can take place, given that thread (1) is in nfs_kill_super(), however a conflicting NFS mount with slightly different parameters that creates a different superblock would do it.

cachefiles: Fix refcounting bug in backing-file read monitoring

2018-07-25T13:49:00Z

cachefiles_read_waiter() has the right to access a 'monitor' object by virtue of being called under the waitqueue lock for one of the pages in its purview. However, it has no ref on that monitor object or on the associated operation. What it is allowed to do is to move the monitor object to the operation's to_do list, but once it drops the work_lock, it's actually no longer permitted to access that object. However, it is trying to enqueue the retrieval operation for processing - but it can only do this via a pointer in the monitor object, something it shouldn't be doing. If it doesn't enqueue the operation, the operation may not get processed. If the order is flipped so that the enqueue is first, then it's possible for the work processor to look at the to_do list before the monitor is enqueued upon it. Fix this by getting a ref on the operation so that we can trust that it will still be there once we've added the monitor to the to_do list and dropped the work_lock. The op can then be enqueued after the lock is dropped. The bug can manifest in one of a couple of ways. The first manifestation looks like: FS-Cache: FS-Cache: Assertion failed FS-Cache: 6 == 5 is false ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/fscache/operation.c:494!
