From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@xxxxxxxxxx> Hello everyone! Recently we found some bugs while doing tests on cachefiles ondemand mode, and this patchset is a fix for some of those issues. The following is a brief overview of the patches, see the patches for more details. Patch 1-5: Holding reference counts of reqs and objects on read requests to avoid malicious restore leading to use-after-free. Patch 6-10: Add some consistency checks to copen/cread/get_fd to avoid malicious copen/cread/close fd injections causing use-after-free or hung. Patch 11: When cache is marked as CACHEFILES_DEAD, flush all requests, otherwise the kernel may be hung. since this state is irreversible, the daemon can read open requests but cannot copen. Patch 12: Allow interrupting a read request being processed by killing the read process as a way of avoiding hung in some special cases. Comments and questions are, as always, welcome. Thanks, Baokun Baokun Li (11): cachefiles: remove request from xarry during flush requests cachefiles: remove err_put_fd tag in cachefiles_ondemand_daemon_read() cachefiles: fix slab-use-after-free in cachefiles_ondemand_get_fd() cachefiles: fix slab-use-after-free in cachefiles_ondemand_daemon_read() cachefiles: add output string to cachefiles_obj_[get|put]_ondemand_fd cachefiles: add consistency check for copen/cread cachefiles: add spin_lock for cachefiles_ondemand_info cachefiles: never get a new anon fd if ondemand_id is valid cachefiles: defer exposing anon_fd until after copy_to_user() succeeds cachefiles: flush all requests after setting CACHEFILES_DEAD cachefiles: make on-demand read killable Zizhi Wo (1): cachefiles: Set object to close if ondemand_id < 0 in copen fs/cachefiles/daemon.c | 3 +- fs/cachefiles/internal.h | 5 + fs/cachefiles/ondemand.c | 199 +++++++++++++++++++++--------- include/trace/events/cachefiles.h | 8 +- 4 files changed, 158 insertions(+), 57 deletions(-) -- 2.39.2
