[v1] ext4: prevent data-race that occur when read/write ext4_group_desc structure members

[PATCH] ext4: prevent data-race that occur when read/write ext4_group_desc structure members

Posted by Jeongjun Park 2 months, 1 week ago

Currently, data-race like [1] occur in fs/ext4/super.c

Since the ext4_group_desc structure does not have a lock to protect its
member variables and there is a possibility that unexpected behavior may
occur in the future if a data-race occurs, I think it would be appropriate
to modify the ext4_group_desc member variables to be read/written atomically.

It is unclear if this is enough, or alternately whether it is needed at all?

There is still a race window between accessing/setting the _hi and _lo
fields in the group descriptor that could result in torn writes.
This will _rarely_ be an issue for many filesystems, since block/inode
bitmap numbers are only read, so it is only the block and inode counts
that are changed.

Also, it is only a fairly rare use case where there are more than 2^16
blocks or inodes in a single group, so the _hi field should almost always
be zero, unless this is a 64KB blocksize filesystem?

It looks like ext4_lock_group() could be used to protect this access, but
that is very expensive for the read side, and unnecessary for 4KB blocksize
filesystems (the vast majority of cases).

I suspect that the inode allocation side is *already* holding the group
lock so that the bitmap update and other fields are atomic?  It probably
makes sense to get ext4_lock_group() at a higher level (e.g. ext4_symlink()
or __ext4_new_inode() when it is allocating the inode) rather than pretend
the two _lo and _hi accesses are atomic at the lower level.

Cheers, Andreas
