dm thin: add sanity checks to thin-pool and external snapshot creation

2019-03-05T19:53:49Z

Invoking dm_get_device() twice on the same device path with different modes is dangerous. Because in that case, upgrade_mode() will alloc a new 'dm_dev' and free the old one, which may be referenced by a previous caller. Dereferencing the dangling pointer will trigger kernel NULL pointer dereference. The following two cases can reproduce this issue. Actually, they are invalid setups that must be disallowed, e.g.: 1. Creating a thin-pool with read_only mode, and the same device as both metadata and data. dmsetup create thinp --table \ "0 41943040 thin-pool /dev/vdb /dev/vdb 128 0 1 read_only" BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000080 ...

dm: eliminate 'split_discard_bios' flag from DM target interface

2019-02-21T04:24:55Z

There is no need to have DM core split discards on behalf of a DM target now that blk_queue_split() handles splitting discards based on the queue_limits. A DM target just needs to set max_discard_sectors, discard_granularity, etc, in queue_limits. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm thin: fix bug where bio that overwrites thin block ignores FUA

2019-02-15T00:02:29Z

When provisioning a new data block for a virtual block, either because the block was previously unallocated or because we are breaking sharing, if the whole block of data is being overwritten the bio that triggered the provisioning is issued immediately, skipping copying or zeroing of the data block. When this bio completes the new mapping is inserted in to the pool's metadata by process_prepared_mapping(), where the bio completion is signaled to the upper layers. This completion is signaled without first committing the metadata. If the bio in question has the REQ_FUA flag set and the system crashes right after its completion and before the next metadata commit, then the write is lost despite the REQ_FUA flag requiring that I/O completion for this request must only be signaled after the data has been committed to non-volatile storage. Fix this by deferring the completion of overwrite bios, with the REQ_FUA flag set, until after the metadata has been committed.

dm thin: fix passdown_double_checking_shared_status()

2019-01-15T21:10:41Z

Commit 00a0ea33b495 ("dm thin: do not queue freed thin mapping for next stage processing") changed process_prepared_discard_passdown_pt1() to increment all the blocks being discarded until after the passdown had completed to avoid them being prematurely reused. IO issued to a thin device that breaks sharing with a snapshot, followed by a discard issued to snapshot(s) that previously shared the block(s), results in passdown_double_checking_shared_status() being called to iterate through the blocks double checking their reference count is zero and issuing the passdown if so. So a side effect of commit 00a0ea33b495 is passdown_double_checking_shared_status() was broken. Fix this by checking if the block reference count is greater than 1. Also, rename dm_pool_block_is_used() to dm_pool_block_is_shared().

dm thin: bump target version

Decoupled version bump from commit f6c367585d0 ("dm thin: send event about thin-pool state change _after_ making it") because version bumps just create conflicts when backporting to the stable trees. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm thin: send event about thin-pool state change _after_ making it

2018-12-11T20:19:26Z

Sending a DM event before a thin-pool state change is about to happen is a bug. It wasn't realized until it became clear that userspace response to the event raced with the actual state change that the event was meant to notify about. Fix this by first updating internal thin-pool state to reflect what the DM event is being issued about. This fixes a long-standing racey/buggy userspace device-mapper-test-suite 'resize_io' test that would get an event but not find the state it was looking for -- so it would just go on to hang because no other events caused the test to reevaluate the thin-pool's state.

dm thin: use refcount_t for thin_c reference counting

2018-10-16T18:27:03Z

The API surrounding refcount_t should be used in place of atomic_t when variables are being used as reference counters. It can potentially prevent reference counter overflows and use-after-free conditions. In the dm thin layer, one such example is tc->refcount. Change this from the atomic_t API to the refcount_t API to prevent mentioned conditions. Signed-off-by: John Pittman Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm thin metadata: try to avoid ever aborting transactions

2018-09-10T21:03:18Z

Committing a transaction can consume some metadata of it's own, we now reserve a small amount of metadata to cover this. Free metadata reported by the kernel will not include this reserve. If any of the reserve has been used after a commit we enter a new internal state PM_OUT_OF_METADATA_SPACE. This is reported as PM_READ_ONLY, so no userland changes are needed. If the metadata device is resized the pool will move back to PM_WRITE. These changes mean we never need to abort and rollback a transaction due to running out of metadata space. This is particularly important because there have been a handful of reports of data corruption against DM thin-provisioning that can all be attributed to the thin-pool having ran out of metadata space.

dm thin: stop no_space_timeout worker when switching to write-mode

2018-08-07T18:30:29Z

Now both check_for_space() and do_no_space_timeout() will read & write pool->pf.error_if_no_space. If these functions run concurrently, as shown in the following case, the default setting of "queue_if_no_space" can get lost. precondition: * error_if_no_space = false (aka "queue_if_no_space") * pool is in Out-of-Data-Space (OODS) mode * no_space_timeout worker has been queued CPU 0: CPU 1: // delete a thin device process_delete_mesg() // check_for_space() invoked by commit() set_pool_mode(pool, PM_WRITE) pool->pf.error_if_no_space = \ pt->requested_pf.error_if_no_space // timeout, pool is still in OODS mode do_no_space_timeout // "queue_if_no_space" config is lost pool->pf.error_if_no_space = true pool->pf.mode = new_mode Fix it by stopping no_space_timeout worker when switching to write mode.

dm kcopyd: return void from dm_kcopyd_copy()
