From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>
Currently we dropped freeze protection of aio writes just after IO was
submitted. Thus aio write could be in flight while the filesystem was
frozen and that could result in unexpected situation like aio completion
wanting to convert extent type on frozen filesystem. Testcase from
Dmitry triggering this is like:
for ((i=0;i<60;i++));do fsfreeze -f /mnt ;sleep 1;fsfreeze -u /mnt;done &
fio --bs=4k --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=128 --size=1g --direct=1 \
--runtime=60 --filename=/mnt/file --name=rand-write --rw=randwrite
Fix the problem by dropping freeze protection only once IO is completed
in aio_complete().
[hch: The above was the changelog of the original patch from Jan.
It turns out that it fixes something even more important - a use
after free of the file structucture given that the direct I/O
code calls fput and potentially drops the last reference to it in
aio_complete. Together with two racing threads and a zero sized
I/O this seems easily exploitable]
