    NFS: Use i_writecount to control whether to get an fscache cookie in nfs_open() · f1fe29b4
    David Howells 提交于
    Use i_writecount to control whether to get an fscache cookie in nfs_open() as
    NFS does not do write caching yet.  I *think* this is the cause of a problem
    encountered by Mark Moseley whereby __fscache_uncache_page() gets a NULL
    pointer dereference because cookie->def is NULL:
    
    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010

    The code at the instruction pointer was disassembled:
    
    > (gdb) disas __fscache_uncache_page
    > Dump of assembler code for function __fscache_uncache_page:
    > ...
    > 0xffffffff812a18ff <+31>: mov 0x48(%rbx),%rax
    > 0xffffffff812a1903 <+35>: cmpb $0x0,0x10(%rax)
    > 0xffffffff812a1907 <+39>: je 0xffffffff812a19cd <__fscache_uncache_page+237>
    
    These instructions make up:
    
    	ASSERTCMP(cookie->def->type, !=, FSCACHE_COOKIE_TYPE_INDEX);
    
    That cmpb is the faulting instruction (%rax is 0).  So cookie->def is NULL -
    which presumably means that the cookie has already been at least partway
    through __fscache_relinquish_cookie().
    
    What I think may be happening is something like a three-way race on the same
    file:
    
    	PROCESS 1	PROCESS 2	PROCESS 3
    	===============	===============	===============
    	open(O_TRUNC|O_WRONLY)
    			open(O_RDONLY)
    					open(O_WRONLY)
    	-->nfs_open()
    	-->nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
    	nfs_fscache_inode_lock()
    	nfs_fscache_disable_inode_cookie()
    	__fscache_relinquish_cookie()
    	nfs_inode->fscache = NULL
    	<--nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
    
    			-->nfs_open()
    			-->nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
    			nfs_fscache_inode_lock()
    			nfs_fscache_enable_inode_cookie()
    			__fscache_acquire_cookie()
    			nfs_inode->fscache = cookie
    			<--nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
    	<--nfs_open()
    	-->nfs_setattr()
    	...
    	...
    	-->nfs_invalidate_page()
    	-->__nfs_fscache_invalidate_page()
    	cookie = nfsi->fscache
    					-->nfs_open()
    					-->nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
    					nfs_fscache_inode_lock()
    					nfs_fscache_disable_inode_cookie()
    					-->__fscache_relinquish_cookie()
    	-->__fscache_uncache_page(cookie)
    	<crash>
    					<--__fscache_relinquish_cookie()
    					nfs_inode->fscache = NULL
    					<--nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
    
    What is needed is something to prevent process #2 from reacquiring the cookie
    - and I think checking i_writecount should do the trick.
    
    It's also possible to have a two-way race on this if the file is opened
    O_TRUNC|O_RDONLY instead.
