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.

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: update orig_path in ext4_find_extent()

commit 5b4b2dcace35f618fe361a87bae6f0d13af31bc1 upstream.

In ext4_find_extent(), if the path is not big enough, we free it and set
*orig_path to NULL. But after reallocating and successfully initializing
the path, we don't update *orig_path, in which case the caller gets a
valid path but a NULL ppath, and this may cause a NULL pointer dereference
or a path memory leak. For example:

ext4_split_extent
path = *ppath = 2000
ext4_find_extent
if (depth > path[0].p_maxdepth)
kfree(path = 2000);
*orig_path = path = NULL;
path = kcalloc() = 3000
ext4_split_extent_at(*ppath = NULL)
path = *ppath;
ex = path[depth].p_ext;
// NULL pointer dereference!

==================================================================
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010
CPU: 6 UID: 0 PID: 576 Comm: fsstress Not tainted 6.11.0-rc2-dirty #847

Therefore, *orig_path is updated when the extent lookup succeeds, so that
the caller can safely use path or *ppath.

ext4: fix double-free of blocks due to wrong extents moved_len

commit 55583e899a5357308274601364741a83e78d6ac4 upstream.

ext4: fix double-free of blocks due to wrong extents moved_len

commit 55583e899a5357308274601364741a83e78d6ac4 upstream.

In ext4_move_extents(), moved_len is only updated when all moves are
successfully executed, and only discards orig_inode and donor_inode
preallocations when moved_len is not zero. When the loop fails to exit
after successfully moving some extents, moved_len is not updated and
remains at 0, so it does not discard the preallocations.

If the moved extents overlap with the preallocated extents, the
overlapped extents are freed twice in ext4_mb_release_inode_pa() and
ext4_process_freed_data() (as described in commit 94d7c16cbbbd ("ext4:
Fix double-free of blocks with EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT")), and bb_free is
incremented twice. Hence when trim is executed, a zero-division bug is
triggered in mb_update_avg_fragment_size() because bb_free is not zero
and bb_fragments is zero.

Therefore, update move_len after each extent move to avoid the issue.

mm: merge folio_has_private()/filemap_release_folio() call pairs

Patch series "mm, netfs, fscache: Stop read optimisation when folio
removed from pagecache", v7.

This fixes an optimisation in fscache whereby we don't read from the cache
for a particular file until we know that there's data there that we don't
have in the pagecache. The problem is that I'm no longer using PG_fscache
(aka PG_private_2) to indicate that the page is cached and so I don't get
a notification when a cached page is dropped from the pagecache.

The first patch merges some folio_has_private() and
filemap_release_folio() pairs and introduces a helper,
folio_needs_release(), to indicate if a release is required.

The second patch is the actual fix. Following Willy's suggestions[1], it
adds an AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS flag to an address_space that will make
filemap_release_folio() always call ->release_folio(), even if
PG_private/PG_private_2 aren't set. folio_needs_release() is altered to
add a check for this.


This patch (of 2):

Make filemap_release_folio() check folio_has_private(). Then, in most
cases, where a call to folio_has_private() is immediately followed by a
call to filemap_release_folio(), we can get rid of the test in the pair.

There are a couple of sites in mm/vscan.c that this can't so easily be
done. In shrink_folio_list(), there are actually three cases (something
different is done for incompletely invalidated buffers), but
filemap_release_folio() elides two of them.

In shrink_active_list(), we don't have have the folio lock yet, so the
check allows us to avoid locking the page unnecessarily.

A wrapper function to check if a folio needs release is provided for those
places that still need to do it in the mm/ directory. This will acquire
additional parts to the condition in a future patch.

After this, the only remaining caller of folio_has_private() outside of
mm/ is a check in fuse.

- Lorenzo has also coverted read_kcore() and vread() to use iterators
and has thereby removed the use of bounce buffers in some cases.

- Lorenzo has also contributed further cleanups of vma_merge().

- Chaitanya Prakash provides some fixes to the mmap selftesting code.

- Matthew Wilcox changes xfs and afs so they no longer take sleeping
locks in ->map_page(), a step towards RCUification of pagefaults.

- Suren Baghdasaryan has improved mmap_lock scalability by switching to
per-VMA locking.

- Frederic Weisbecker has reworked the percpu cache draining so that it
no longer causes latency glitches on cpu isolated workloads.

- Mike Rapoport cleans up and corrects the ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER Kconfig
logic.

- Liu Shixin has changed zswap's initialization so we no longer waste a
chunk of memory if zswap is not being used.

- Yosry Ahmed has improved the performance of memcg statistics
flushing.

- David Stevens has fixed several issues involving khugepaged,
userfaultfd and shmem.

- Christoph Hellwig has provided some cleanup work to zram's IO-related
code paths.

- David Hildenbrand has fixed up some issues in the selftest code's
testing of our pte state changing.

- Pankaj Raghav has made page_endio() unneeded and has removed it.

- Peter Xu contributed some rationalizations of the userfaultfd
selftests.

- Yosry Ahmed has fixed an issue around memcg's page recalim
accounting.

- Chaitanya Prakash has fixed some arm-related issues in the
selftests/mm code.

- Longlong Xia has improved the way in which KSM handles hwpoisoned
pages.

- Peter Xu fixes a few issues with uffd-wp at fork() time.

- Stefan Roesch has changed KSM so that it may now be used on a
per-process and per-cgroup basis.
