[PATCH 3/4] nilfs2: fix timing issue between rmcp and chcp ioctls

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

 



The checkpoint deletion ioctl (rmcp ioctl) has potential for breaking
snapshot because it is not fully exclusive with checkpoint mode change
ioctl (chcp ioctl).

The rmcp ioctl first tests if the specified checkpoint is a snapshot
or not within nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoint function, and then calls
nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints function to actually invalidate the
checkpoint only if it's not a snapshot.  However, the checkpoint can
be changed into a snapshot by the chcp ioctl between these two
operations.  In that case, calling nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints()
wrongly invalidates the snapshot, which leads to snapshot list
corruption and snapshot count mismatch.

This fixes the issue by changing nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints() so
that it reconfirms the target checkpoints are snapshot or not.

This second check is exclusive with the chcp operation since
it is protected by an existing semaphore.
