-> Here task 2220 do epoll again where internally it will get/put then
start to free twice and lead to final crash.

Here is the basic flow:

1. Thread A install the dma_buf_fd via dma_buf_export, the fd refcount
is 1

2. Thread A add the fd to epoll list via epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_ADD)

3. After use the dma buf, Thread A close the fd, then here fd refcount
is 0,
  and it will run __fput finally to release the file

Stop, that isn't correct.

The fs layer which calls dma_buf_poll() should make sure that the file
can't go away until the function returns.

Then inside dma_buf_poll() we add another reference to the file while
installing the callback:

                        /* Paired with fput in dma_buf_poll_cb */
                        get_file(dmabuf->file);
Hi,

The problem may just occurred here.

Is it possible file reference count already decreased to 0 and fput
already being in progressing just before calling
get_file(dmabuf->file) in dma_buf_poll()?

No, exactly that isn't possible.

If a function gets a dma_buf pointer or even more general any reference
counted pointer which has already decreased to 0 then that is a major
bug in the caller of that function.

BTW: It's completely illegal to work around such issues by using
file_count() or RCU functions. So when you suggest stuff like that it
will immediately face rejection.

Hi,

Thanks for your kind comment.

'If a function gets a dma_buf pointer or even more general any reference

counted pointer which has already decreased to 0 then that is a major

bug in the caller of that function.'

According to the issue log, we can see the dma buf file close and epoll operation running in parallel.

Apparently at the moment caller calls epoll, although another task caller already called close on the same fd, but this fd was still in progress to close, so fd is still valid, thus no EBADF returned to caller.

Then the two task contexts operate on same dma buf fd(one is close, another is epoll) in kernel space.

Please kindly help to comment whether above scenario is possible.

If there is some bug in the caller logic, Can u help to point it out? :)

Regards,
Zhiguo



This reference is only dropped after the callback is completed in
dma_buf_poll_cb():

        /* Paired with get_file in dma_buf_poll */
        fput(dmabuf->file);

So your explanation for the issue just seems to be incorrect.


4. Here Thread A not do epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL) manunally, so it
still resides in one epoll_list.
  Although __fput will call eventpoll_release to remove the file from
binded epoll list,
  but it has small time window where Thread B jumps in.

Well if that is really the case then that would then be a bug in
epoll_ctl().


5. During the small window, Thread B do the poll action for
dma_buf_fd, where it will fget/fput for the file,
  this means the fd refcount will be 0 -> 1 -> 0, and it will call
__fput again.
  This will lead to __fput twice for the same file.

6. So the potenial fix is use get_file_rcu which to check if file
refcount already zero which means under free.
  If so, we just return and no need to do the dma_buf_poll.

Well to say it bluntly as far as I can see this suggestion is completely
nonsense.

When the reference to the file goes away while dma_buf_poll() is
executed then that's a massive bug in the caller of that function.

Regards,
Christian.


Here is the race condition:

Thread A Thread B
dma_buf_export
fd_refcount is 1
epoll_ctl(EPOLL_ADD)
add dma_buf_fd to epoll list
close(dma_buf_fd)
fd_refcount is 0
__fput
dma_buf_poll
fget
fput
fd_refcount is zero again

Thanks
