3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@xxxxxxxxx>
commit fa8a53c39f3fdde98c9eace6a9b412143f0f6ed6 upstream.
As reported by Tang Chen, Gu Zheng and Yasuaki Isimatsu, the following issues
exist in the aio ring page migration support.
As a result, for example, we have the following problem:
thread 1 | thread 2
|
aio_migratepage() |
|-> take ctx->completion_lock |
|-> migrate_page_copy(new, old) |
| *NOW*, ctx->ring_pages[idx] == old |
|
| *NOW*, ctx->ring_pages[idx] == old
| aio_read_events_ring()
| |-> ring = kmap_atomic(ctx->ring_pages[0])
| |-> ring->head = head; *HERE, write to the old ring page*
| |-> kunmap_atomic(ring);
|
|-> ctx->ring_pages[idx] = new |
| *BUT NOW*, the content of |
| ring_pages[idx] is old. |
|-> release ctx->completion_lock |
As above, the new ring page will not be updated.
Fix this issue, as well as prevent races in aio_ring_setup() by holding
the ring_lock mutex during kioctx setup and page migration. This avoids
the overhead of taking another spinlock in aio_read_events_ring() as Tang's
and Gu's original fix did, pushing the overhead into the migration code.
Note that to handle the nesting of ring_lock inside of mmap_sem, the
migratepage operation uses mutex_trylock(). Page migration is not a 100%
critical operation in this case, so the ocassional failure can be
tolerated. This issue was reported by Sasha Levin.
Based on feedback from Linus, avoid the extra taking of ctx->completion_lock.
Instead, make page migration fully serialised by mapping->private_lock, and
have aio_free_ring() simply disconnect the kioctx from the mapping by calling
put_aio_ring_file() before touching ctx->ring_pages[]. This simplifies the
error handling logic in aio_migratepage(), and should improve robustness.
v4: always do mutex_unlock() in cases when kioctx setup fails.
