ext4: Fix race between read_block_bitmap() and mark_diskspace_used()
We need to make sure we update the block bitmap and clear
EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT flag with sb_bgl_lock held, since
ext4_read_block_bitmap() looks at EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT to decide
whether to initialize the block bitmap each time it is called
(introduced by commit c806e68f), and this can race with block
allocations in ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used().
ext4_read_block_bitmap does:
spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(EXT4_SB(sb), block_group));
if (desc->bg_flags & cpu_to_le16(EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT)) {
ext4_init_block_bitmap(sb, bh, block_group, desc);
Now on the block allocation side we do
mb_set_bits(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, ac->ac_b_ex.fe_group), bitmap_bh->b_data,
ac->ac_b_ex.fe_start, ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len);
....
spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, ac->ac_b_ex.fe_group));
if (gdp->bg_flags & cpu_to_le16(EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT)) {
gdp->bg_flags &= cpu_to_le16(~EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT);
ie on allocation we update the bitmap then we take the sb_bgl_lock
and clear the EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT flag. What can happen is a
parallel ext4_read_block_bitmap can zero out the bitmap in between
the above mb_set_bits and spin_lock(sb_bg_lock..)
The race results in below user visible errors
EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_mb_release_inode_pa: free 100, pa_free 105
EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): mb_free_blocks: double-free of inode 0's block ..
