3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 5d3ee20855e28169d711b394857ee608a5023094 upstream. It is incorrect to use list_for_each_entry_safe() for journal callback traversial because ->next may be removed by other task: ->ext4_mb_free_metadata() ->ext4_mb_free_metadata() ->ext4_journal_callback_del() This results in the following issue: WARNING: at lib/list_debug.c:62 __list_del_entry+0x1c0/0x250() Hardware name: list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffff88019a4ec198, but was 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b Modules linked in: cpufreq_ondemand acpi_cpufreq freq_table mperf coretemp kvm_intel kvm crc32c_intel ghash_clmulni_intel microcode sg xhci_hcd button sd_mod crc_t10dif aesni_intel ablk_helper cryptd lrw aes_x86_64 xts gf128mul ahci libahci pata_acpi ata_generic dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod Pid: 16400, comm: jbd2/dm-1-8 Tainted: G W 3.8.0-rc3+ #107 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8106fb0d>] warn_slowpath_common+0xad/0xf0 [<ffffffff8106fc06>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x46/0x50 [<ffffffff813637e9>] ? ext4_journal_commit_callback+0x99/0xc0 [<ffffffff8148cae0>] __list_del_entry+0x1c0/0x250 [<ffffffff813637bf>] ext4_journal_commit_callback+0x6f/0xc0 [<ffffffff813ca336>] jbd2_journal_commit_transaction+0x23a6/0x2570 [<ffffffff8108aa42>] ? try_to_del_timer_sync+0x82/0xa0 [<ffffffff8108b491>] ? del_timer_sync+0x91/0x1e0 [<ffffffff813d3ecf>] kjournald2+0x19f/0x6a0 [<ffffffff810ad630>] ? wake_up_bit+0x40/0x40 [<ffffffff813d3d30>] ? bit_spin_lock+0x80/0x80 [<ffffffff810ac6be>] kthread+0x10e/0x120 [<ffffffff810ac5b0>] ? __init_kthread_worker+0x70/0x70 [<ffffffff818ff6ac>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 [<ffffffff810ac5b0>] ? __init_kthread_worker+0x70/0x70 This patch fix the issue as follows: - ext4_journal_commit_callback() make list truly traversial safe simply by always starting from list_head - fix race between two ext4_journal_callback_del() and ext4_journal_callback_try_del() Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@xxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.h | 6 +++++- fs/ext4/mballoc.c | 8 ++++---- fs/ext4/super.c | 7 +++++-- 3 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) --- a/fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.h +++ b/fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.h @@ -170,16 +170,20 @@ static inline void ext4_journal_callback * ext4_journal_callback_del: delete a registered callback * @handle: active journal transaction handle on which callback was registered * @jce: registered journal callback entry to unregister + * Return true if object was sucessfully removed */ -static inline void ext4_journal_callback_del(handle_t *handle, +static inline bool ext4_journal_callback_try_del(handle_t *handle, struct ext4_journal_cb_entry *jce) { + bool deleted; struct ext4_sb_info *sbi = EXT4_SB(handle->h_transaction->t_journal->j_private); spin_lock(&sbi->s_md_lock); + deleted = !list_empty(&jce->jce_list); list_del_init(&jce->jce_list); spin_unlock(&sbi->s_md_lock); + return deleted; } int --- a/fs/ext4/mballoc.c +++ b/fs/ext4/mballoc.c @@ -4449,11 +4449,11 @@ ext4_mb_free_metadata(handle_t *handle, node = rb_prev(new_node); if (node) { entry = rb_entry(node, struct ext4_free_data, efd_node); - if (can_merge(entry, new_entry)) { + if (can_merge(entry, new_entry) && + ext4_journal_callback_try_del(handle, &entry->efd_jce)) { new_entry->efd_start_cluster = entry->efd_start_cluster; new_entry->efd_count += entry->efd_count; rb_erase(node, &(db->bb_free_root)); - ext4_journal_callback_del(handle, &entry->efd_jce); kmem_cache_free(ext4_free_data_cachep, entry); } } @@ -4461,10 +4461,10 @@ ext4_mb_free_metadata(handle_t *handle, node = rb_next(new_node); if (node) { entry = rb_entry(node, struct ext4_free_data, efd_node); - if (can_merge(new_entry, entry)) { + if (can_merge(new_entry, entry) && + ext4_journal_callback_try_del(handle, &entry->efd_jce)) { new_entry->efd_count += entry->efd_count; rb_erase(node, &(db->bb_free_root)); - ext4_journal_callback_del(handle, &entry->efd_jce); kmem_cache_free(ext4_free_data_cachep, entry); } } --- a/fs/ext4/super.c +++ b/fs/ext4/super.c @@ -452,10 +452,13 @@ static void ext4_journal_commit_callback struct super_block *sb = journal->j_private; struct ext4_sb_info *sbi = EXT4_SB(sb); int error = is_journal_aborted(journal); - struct ext4_journal_cb_entry *jce, *tmp; + struct ext4_journal_cb_entry *jce; + BUG_ON(txn->t_state == T_FINISHED); spin_lock(&sbi->s_md_lock); - list_for_each_entry_safe(jce, tmp, &txn->t_private_list, jce_list) { + while (!list_empty(&txn->t_private_list)) { + jce = list_entry(txn->t_private_list.next, + struct ext4_journal_cb_entry, jce_list); list_del_init(&jce->jce_list); spin_unlock(&sbi->s_md_lock); jce->jce_func(sb, jce, error); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
