ext4: fix race in buffer_head read fault injection

ext4: fix race in buffer_head read fault injection

[ Upstream commit 2f3d93e210b9c2866c8b3662adae427d5bf511ec ]

When I enabled ext4 debug for fault injection testing, I encountered the
following warning:

EXT4-fs error (device sda): ext4_read_inode_bitmap:201: comm fsstress:
Cannot read inode bitmap - block_group = 8, inode_bitmap = 1051
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 511 at fs/buffer.c:1181 mark_buffer_dirty+0x1b3/0x1d0

The root cause of the issue lies in the improper implementation of ext4's
buffer_head read fault injection. The actual completion of buffer_head
read and the buffer_head fault injection are not atomic, which can lead
to the uptodate flag being cleared on normally used buffer_heads in race
conditions.

WARN_ON_ONCE(!buffer_uptodate(bh))

The best approach would be to perform fault injection in the IO completion
callback function, rather than after IO completion. However, the IO
completion callback function cannot get the fault injection code in sb.

Fix it by passing the result of fault injection into the bh read function,
we simulate faults within the bh read function itself. This requires adding
an extra parameter to the bh read functions that need fault injection.

ext4: sanity check for NULL pointer after ext4_force_shutdown

ext4: sanity check for NULL pointer after ext4_force_shutdown

[ Upstream commit 83f4414b8f84249d538905825b088ff3ae555652 ]

Test case: 2 threads write short inline data to a file.
In ext4_page_mkwrite the resulting inline data is converted.
Handling ext4_grp_locked_error with description "block bitmap
and bg descriptor inconsistent: X vs Y free clusters" calls
ext4_force_shutdown. The conversion clears
EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA but fails for
ext4_destroy_inline_data_nolock and ext4_mark_iloc_dirty due
to ext4_forced_shutdown. The restoration of inline data fails
for the same reason not setting EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA.
Without the flag set a regular process path in ext4_da_write_end
follows trying to dereference page folio private pointer that has
not been set. The fix calls early return with -EIO error shall the
pointer to private be NULL.

ext4: check the extent status again before inserting delalloc block

[ Upstream commit 0ea6560abb3bac1ffcfa4bf6b2c4d344fdc27b3c ]

ext4_da_map_blocks looks up for any extent entry in the extent status
tree (w/o i_data_sem) and then the looks up for any ondisk extent
mapping (with i_data_sem in read mode).

If it finds a hole in the extent status tree or if it couldn't find any
entry at all, it then takes the i_data_sem in write mode to add a da
entry into the extent status tree. This can actually race with page
mkwrite & fallocate path.

Note that this is ok between
1. ext4 buffered-write path v/s ext4_page_mkwrite(), because of the
folio lock
2. ext4 buffered write path v/s ext4 fallocate because of the inode
lock.

But this can race between ext4_page_mkwrite() & ext4 fallocate path

ext4_page_mkwrite() ext4_fallocate()
block_page_mkwrite()
ext4_da_map_blocks()
//find hole in extent status tree
ext4_alloc_file_blocks()
ext4_map_blocks()
//allocate block and unwritten extent
ext4_insert_delayed_block()
ext4_da_reserve_space()
//reserve one more block
ext4_es_insert_delayed_block()
//drop unwritten extent and add delayed extent by mistake

Then, the delalloc extent is wrong until writeback and the extra
reserved block can't be released any more and it triggers below warning:

EXT4-fs (pmem2): Inode 13 (00000000bbbd4d23): i_reserved_data_blocks(1) not cleared!

Fix the problem by looking up extent status tree again while the
i_data_sem is held in write mode. If it still can't find any entry, then
we insert a new da entry into the extent status tree.

ext4: convert to exclusive lock while inserting delalloc extents

ext4_da_map_blocks() only hold i_data_sem in shared mode and i_rwsem
when inserting delalloc extents, it could be raced by another querying
path of ext4_map_blocks() without i_rwsem, .e.g buffered read path.
Suppose we buffered read a file containing just a hole, and without any
cached extents tree, then it is raced by another delayed buffered write
to the same area or the near area belongs to the same hole, and the new
delalloc extent could be overwritten to a hole extent.

pread() pwrite()
filemap_read_folio()
ext4_mpage_readpages()
ext4_map_blocks()
down_read(i_data_sem)
ext4_ext_determine_hole()
//find hole

ext4_da_map_blocks()
down_read(i_data_sem)
ext4_insert_delayed_block()
//insert delalloc extent
ext4_es_insert_extent()
//overwrite delalloc extent to hole

This race could lead to inconsistent delalloc extents tree and
incorrect reserved space counter. Fix this by converting to hold
i_data_sem in exclusive mode when adding a new delalloc extent in
ext4_da_map_blocks().

Truncate operation can race with writeback, in which inode->i_size can get

ext4: mark buffer new if it is unwritten to avoid stale data exposure

ext4: mark buffer new if it is unwritten to avoid stale data exposure

commit 2cd8bdb5efc1e0d5b11a4b7ba6b922fd2736a87f upstream.

** Short Version **

In ext4 with dioread_nolock, we could have a scenario where the bh returned by
get_blocks (ext4_get_block_unwritten()) in __block_write_begin_int() has
UNWRITTEN and MAPPED flag set. Since such a bh does not have NEW flag set we
never zero out the range of bh that is not under write, causing whatever stale
data is present in the folio at that time to be written out to disk. To fix this
mark the buffer as new, in case it is unwritten, in ext4_get_block_unwritten().

** Long Version **

The issue mentioned above was resulting in two different bugs:

1. On block size < page size case in ext4, generic/269 was reliably
failing with dioread_nolock. The state of the write was as follows:

* The write was extending i_size.
* The last block of the file was fallocated and had an unwritten extent
* We were near ENOSPC and hence we were switching to non-delayed alloc
allocation.

In this case, the back trace that triggers the bug is as follows:

ext4_da_write_begin()
/* switch to nodelalloc due to low space */
ext4_write_begin()
ext4_should_dioread_nolock() // true since mount flags still have delalloc
__block_write_begin(..., ext4_get_block_unwritten)
__block_write_begin_int()
for(each buffer head in page) {
/* first iteration, this is bh1 which contains i_size */
if (!buffer_mapped)
get_block() /* returns bh with only UNWRITTEN and MAPPED */
/* second iteration, bh2 */
if (!buffer_mapped)
get_block() /* we fail here, could be ENOSPC */
}
if (err)
/*
* this would zero out all new buffers and mark them uptodate.
* Since bh1 was never marked new, we skip it here which causes
* the bug later.
*/
folio_zero_new_buffers();
/* ext4_wrte_begin() error handling */
ext4_truncate_failed_write()
ext4_truncate()
ext4_block_truncate_page()
__ext4_block_zero_page_range()
if(!buffer_uptodate())
ext4_read_bh_lock()
ext4_read_bh() -> ... ext4_submit_bh_wbc()
BUG_ON(buffer_unwritten(bh)); /* !!! */

2. The second issue is stale data exposure with page size >= blocksize
with dioread_nolock. The conditions needed for it to happen are same as
the previous issue ie dioread_nolock around ENOSPC condition. The issue
is also similar where in __block_write_begin_int() when we call
ext4_get_block_unwritten() on the buffer_head and the underlying extent
is unwritten, we get an unwritten and mapped buffer head. Since it is
not new, we never zero out the partial range which is not under write,
thus writing stale data to disk. This can be easily observed with the
following reproducer:

fallocate -l 4k testfile
xfs_io -c "pwrite 2k 2k" testfile
# hexdump output will have stale data in from byte 0 to 2k in testfile
hexdump -C testfile

NOTE: To trigger this, we need dioread_nolock enabled and write happening via
ext4_write_begin(), which is usually used when we have -o nodealloc. Since
dioread_nolock is disabled with nodelalloc, the only alternate way to call
ext4_write_begin() is to ensure that delayed alloc switches to nodelalloc ie
ext4_da_write_begin() calls ext4_write_begin(). This will usually happen when
ext4 is almost full like the way generic/269 was triggering it in Issue 1 above.
This might make the issue harder to hit. Hence, for reliable replication, I used
the below patch to temporarily allow dioread_nolock with nodelalloc and then
mount the disk with -o nodealloc,dioread_nolock. With this you can hit the stale
data issue 100% of times:

@@ -508,8 +508,8 @@ static inline int ext4_should_dioread_nolock(struct inode *inode)
if (ext4_should_journal_data(inode))
return 0;
/* temporary fix to prevent generic/422 test failures */
- if (!test_opt(inode->i_sb, DELALLOC))
- return 0;
+ // if (!test_opt(inode->i_sb, DELALLOC))
+ // return 0;
return 1;
}

After applying this patch to mark buffer as NEW, both the above issues are
fixed.

Merge tag 'v6.6-vfs.ctime' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds VFS support for multi-grain timestamps and converts tmpfs,
xfs, ext4, and btrfs to use them. This carries acks from all relevant
filesystems.

The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime
and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems
to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per
jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.

Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
client decide to invalidate the cache.

Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support
a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp
granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps
(e.g., backup applications).

If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve
the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.

This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are
actively queried.

This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that
something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag
is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a
fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one.

As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime
must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so
only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used.

Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in
the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use
coarse-grained timestamps.

Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included:

- Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime
together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all
maintainers provided necessary Acks.

- Add new accessors for inode->i_ctime directly and change all
callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode->i_ctime are now
gone and it is accordingly rename to inode->__i_ctime and commented
as requiring accessors.

- Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a
sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request
mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in.

- Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now
parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers.

- Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it
removing a bunch of open-coding"
