syzkaller reported recursion with a loop of three calls (netfs_rreq_assess,
netfs_retry_reads and netfs_rreq_terminated) hitting the limit of the stack
during an unbuffered or direct I/O read.
There are a number of issues:
(1) There is no limit on the number of retries.
(2) A subrequest is supposed to be abandoned if it does not transfer
anything (NETFS_SREQ_NO_PROGRESS), but that isn't checked under all
circumstances.
(3) The actual root cause, which is this:
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&rreq->nr_outstanding))
netfs_rreq_terminated(rreq, ...);
When we do a retry, we bump the rreq->nr_outstanding counter to
prevent the final cleanup phase running before we've finished
dispatching the retries. The problem is if we hit 0, we have to do
the cleanup phase - but we're in the cleanup phase and end up
repeating the retry cycle, hence the recursion.
Work around the problem by limiting the number of retries. This is based
on Lizhi Xu's patch[1], and makes the following changes:
(1) Replace NETFS_SREQ_NO_PROGRESS with NETFS_SREQ_MADE_PROGRESS and make
the filesystem set it if it managed to read or write at least one byte
of data. Clear this bit before issuing a subrequest.
(2) Add a ->retry_count member to the subrequest and increment it any time
we do a retry.
(3) Remove the NETFS_SREQ_RETRYING flag as it is superfluous with
->retry_count. If the latter is non-zero, we're doing a retry.
(4) Abandon a subrequest if retry_count is non-zero and we made no
progress.
(5) Use ->retry_count in both the write-side and the read-size.
[?] Question: Should I set a hard limit on retry_count in both read and
write? Say it hits 50, we always abandon it. The problem is that
these changes only mitigate the issue. As long as it made at least one
byte of progress, the recursion is still an issue. This patch
mitigates the problem, but does not fix the underlying cause. I have
patches that will do that, but it's an intrusive fix that's currently
pending for the next merge window.
The oops generated by KASAN looks something like:
