remove_raw() in dm_btree_remove() may fail due to IO read error (e.g. read the content of origin block fails during shadowing), and the value of shadow_spine::root is uninitialized, but the uninitialized value is still assign to new_root in the end of dm_btree_remove(). For dm-thin, the value of pmd->details_root or pmd->root will become an uninitialized value, so if trying to read details_info tree again out-of-bound memory may occur as showed below: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x3fdcb14c8d7520 CPU: 4 PID: 515 Comm: dmsetup Not tainted 5.13.0-rc6 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC RIP: 0010:metadata_ll_load_ie+0x14/0x30 Call Trace: sm_metadata_count_is_more_than_one+0xb9/0xe0 dm_tm_shadow_block+0x52/0x1c0 shadow_step+0x59/0xf0 remove_raw+0xb2/0x170 dm_btree_remove+0xf4/0x1c0 dm_pool_delete_thin_device+0xc3/0x140 pool_message+0x218/0x2b0 target_message+0x251/0x290 ctl_ioctl+0x1c4/0x4d0 dm_ctl_ioctl+0xe/0x20 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x7b/0xb0 do_syscall_64+0x40/0xb0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae Fixing it by only assign new_root when removal succeeds Signed-off-by: Hou Tao <houtao1@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-btree-remove.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-btree-remove.c b/drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-btree-remove.c index eff04fa23dfa..9e4d1212f4c1 100644 --- a/drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-btree-remove.c +++ b/drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-btree-remove.c @@ -549,7 +549,8 @@ int dm_btree_remove(struct dm_btree_info *info, dm_block_t root, delete_at(n, index); } - *new_root = shadow_root(&spine); + if (!r) + *new_root = shadow_root(&spine); exit_shadow_spine(&spine); return r; -- 2.29.2 -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
