Log recovery explicitly drops the creator reference after it is inserted into the AIL, but it then processes the log item as if it also owns the intent-done reference. "The code in ->iop_recovery should assume that it passes the reference to the done intent, we can remove the intent item from the AIL after creating the done-intent, but if that code fails before creating the done-intent then it needs to release the intent reference by log recovery itself. "That way when we go to cancel the intent, the only intents we find in the AIL are the ones we know have not been processed yet and hence we can safely drop both the creator and the intent done reference from xlog_recover_cancel_intents(). "Hence if we remove the intent from the list of intents that need to be recovered after we have done the initial recovery, we acheive two things: "1. the tail of the log can be moved forward with the commit of the done intent or new intent to continue the operation, and "2. We avoid the problem of trying to determine how many reference counts we need to drop from intent recovery cancelling because we never come across intents we've actually attempted recovery on." Restated: The cause of the UAF is that xlog_recover_cancel_intents thinks that it owns the refcount on any intent item in the AIL, and that it's always safe to release these intent items. This is not true after the recovery function creates an log intent done item and points it at the log intent item because releasing the done item always releases the intent item. The runtime defer ops code avoids all this by tracking both the log intent and the intent done items, and releasing only the intent done item if both have been created. Long Li proposed fixing this by adding state flags, but I have a more comprehensive fix. First, observe that the latter half of the intent _recover functions are nearly open-coded versions of the corresponding _finish_one function that uses an onstack deferred work item to single-step through the item. Second, notice that the recover function is not an exact match because of the odd behavior that unfinished recovered work items are relogged with separate log intent items instead of a single new log intent item, which is what the defer ops machinery does. Dave and I have long suspected that recovery should be reconstructing the defer work state from what's in the recovered intent item. Now we finally have an excuse to refactor the code to do that. This series starts by fixing a resource leak in LARP recovery. We fix the bug that Long Li reported by switching the intent recovery code to construct chains of xfs_defer_pending objects and then using the defer pending objects to track the intent/done item ownership. Finally, we clean up the code to reconstruct the exact incore state, which means we can remove all the opencoded _recover code, which makes maintaining log items much easier. If you're going to start using this code, I strongly recommend pulling from my git trees, which are linked below. This has been lightly tested with fstests. Enjoy!
