[PATCH] dm-verity: Fix FEC for RS roots non-aligned to block size

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Optional Forward Error Correction (FEC) code in dm-verity uses
Reed-Solomon code and should support roots from 2 to 24.

The error correction parity bytes (of roots lengths per RS block) are stored
on a separate device in sequence without any padding.

Currently, to access FEC device, the dm-verity-fec code uses dm-bufio client
with block size set to verity data block (usually 4096 or 512 bytes).

Because this block size is not divisible by some (most!) of the roots
supported lengths, data repair cannot work for partially stored
parity bytes.

This patch changes FEC device dm-bufio block size to "roots << SECTOR_SHIFT"
where we can be sure that the full parity data is always available.
(There cannot be partial FEC blocks because parity must cover whole sectors.)

Because the optional FEC starting offset could be unaligned to this
new block size, we have to use dm_bufio_set_sector_offset() to configure it.

The problem is easily reproducible using veritysetup,
here for example for roots=13:

  # create verity device with RS FEC
  dd if=/dev/urandom of=data.img bs=4096 count=8 status=none
  veritysetup format data.img hash.img --fec-device=fec.img --fec-roots=13 | awk '/^Root hash/{ print $3 }' >roothash

  # create an erasure that should be always repairable with this roots setting
  dd if=/dev/zero of=data.img conv=notrunc bs=1 count=8 seek=4088 status=none

  # try to read it through dm-verity
  veritysetup open data.img test hash.img --fec-device=fec.img --fec-roots=13 $(cat roothash)
  dd if=/dev/mapper/test of=/dev/null bs=4096 status=noxfer
  # wait for possible recursive recovery in kernel
  udevadm settle
  veritysetup close test

Without it, FEC code usually ends on unrecoverable failure in RS decoder:
  device-mapper: verity-fec: 7:1: FEC 0: failed to correct: -74
  ...

With the patch, errors are properly repaired.
  device-mapper: verity-fec: 7:1: FEC 0: corrected 8 errors
  ...

This problem is present in all kernels since the FEC code introduction (kernel 4.5).

AFAIK the problem is not visible in Android  ecosystem because it always
use default RS roots=2.
