2022-06-06xfs: fix TOCTOU race involving the new logged xattrs control knobDarrick J. Wong
I found a race involving the larp control knob, aka the debugging knob that lets developers enable logging of extended attribute updates: Thread 1 Thread 2 echo 0 > /sys/fs/xfs/debug/larp setxattr(REPLACE) xfs_has_larp (returns false) xfs_attr_set echo 1 > /sys/fs/xfs/debug/larp xfs_attr_defer_replace xfs_attr_init_replace_state xfs_has_larp (returns true) xfs_attr_init_remove_state <oops, wrong DAS state!> This isn't a particularly severe problem right now because xattr logging is only enabled when CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=y, and developers *should* know what they're doing. However, the eventual intent is that callers should be able to ask for the assistance of the log in persisting xattr updates. This capability might not be required for /all/ callers, which means that dynamic control must work correctly. Once an xattr update has decided whether or not to use logged xattrs, it needs to stay in that mode until the end of the operation regardless of what subsequent parallel operations might do. Therefore, it is an error to continue sampling xfs_globals.larp once xfs_attr_change has made a decision about larp, and it was not correct for me to have told Allison that ->create_intent functions can sample the global log incompat feature bitfield to decide to elide a log item. Instead, create a new op flag for the xfs_da_args structure, and convert all other callers of xfs_has_larp and xfs_sb_version_haslogxattrs within the attr update state machine to look for the operations flag.

2022-05-23xfs: share xattr name and value buffers when logging xattr updatesDarrick J. Wong
While running xfs/297 and generic/642, I noticed a crash in xfs_attri_item_relog when it tries to copy the attr name to the new xattri log item. I think what happened here was that we called ->iop_commit on the old attri item (which nulls out the pointers) as part of a log force at the same time that a chained attr operation was ongoing. The system was busy enough that at some later point, the defer ops operation decided it was necessary to relog the attri log item, but as we've detached the name buffer from the old attri log item, we can't copy it to the new one, and kaboom. I think there's a broader refcounting problem with LARP mode -- the setxattr code can return to userspace before the CIL actually formats and commits the log item, which results in a UAF bug. Therefore, the xattr log item needs to be able to retain a reference to the name and value buffers until the log items have completely cleared the log. Furthermore, each time we create an intent log item, we allocate new memory and (re)copy the contents; sharing here would be very useful. Solve the UAF and the unnecessary memory allocations by having the log code create a single refcounted buffer to contain the name and value contents. This buffer can be passed from old to new during a relog operation, and the logging code can (optionally) attach it to the xfs_attr_item for reuse when LARP mode is enabled. This also fixes a problem where the xfs_attri_log_item objects weren't being freed back to the same cache where they came from. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

2022-05-12xfs: ATTR_REPLACE algorithm with LARP enabled needs reworkDave Chinner
We can't use the same algorithm for replacing an existing attribute when logging attributes. The existing algorithm is essentially: 1. create new attr w/ INCOMPLETE 2. atomically flip INCOMPLETE flags between old + new attribute 3. remove old attr which is marked w/ INCOMPLETE This algorithm guarantees that we see either the old or new attribute, and if we fail after the atomic flag flip, we don't have to recover the removal of the old attr because we never see INCOMPLETE attributes in lookups. For logged attributes, however, this does not work. The logged attribute intents do not track the work that has been done as the transaction rolls, and hence the only recovery mechanism we have is "run the replace operation from scratch". This is further exacerbated by the attempt to avoid needing the INCOMPLETE flag to create an atomic swap. This means we can create a second active attribute of the same name before we remove the original. If we fail at any point after the create but before the removal has completed, we end up with duplicate attributes in the attr btree and recovery only tries to replace one of them. There are several other failure modes where we can leave partially allocated remote attributes that expose stale data, partially free remote attributes that enable UAF based stale data exposure, etc. TO fix this, we need a different algorithm for replace operations when LARP is enabled. Luckily, it's not that complex if we take the right first step. That is, the first thing we log is the attri intent with the new name/value pair and mark the old attr as INCOMPLETE in the same transaction. From there, we then remove the old attr and keep relogging the new name/value in the intent, such that we always know that we have to create the new attr in recovery. Once the old attr is removed, we then run a normal ATTR_CREATE operation relogging the intent as we go. If the new attr is local, then it gets created in a single atomic transaction that also logs the final intent done. If the new attr is remote, the we set INCOMPLETE on the new attr while we allocate and set the remote value, and then we clear the INCOMPLETE flag at in the last transaction taht logs the final intent done. If we fail at any point in this algorithm, log recovery will always see the same state on disk: the new name/value in the intent, and either an INCOMPLETE attr or no attr in the attr btree. If we find an INCOMPLETE attr, we run the full replace starting with removing the INCOMPLETE attr. If we don't find it, then we simply create the new attr. Notably, recovery of a failed create that has an INCOMPLETE flag set is now the same - we start with the lookup of the INCOMPLETE attr, and if that exists then we do the full replace recovery process, otherwise we just create the new attr. Hence changing the way we do the replace operation when LARP is enabled allows us to use the same log recovery algorithm for both the ATTR_CREATE and ATTR_REPLACE operations. This is also the same algorithm we use for runtime ATTR_REPLACE operations (except for the step setting up the initial conditions). The result is that: - ATTR_CREATE uses the same algorithm regardless of whether LARP is enabled or not - ATTR_REPLACE with larp=0 is identical to the old algorithm - ATTR_REPLACE with larp=1 runs an unmodified attr removal algorithm from the larp=0 code and then runs the unmodified ATTR_CREATE code. - log recovery when larp=1 runs the same ATTR_REPLACE algorithm as it uses at runtime. Because the state machine is now quite clean, changing the algorithm is really just a case of changing the initial state and how the states link together for the ATTR_REPLACE case. Hence it's not a huge amount of code for what is a fairly substantial rework of the attr logging and recovery algorithm....

Now that xfs_attri_set_iter() has initial states for removing attributes, switch the pure attribute removal code over to using it. This requires attrs being removed to always be marked as INCOMPLETE before we start the removal due to the fact we look up the attr to remove again in xfs_attr_node_remove_attr(). Note: this drops the fillstate/refillstate optimisations from the remove path that avoid having to look up the path again after setting the incomplete flag and removing remote attrs. Restoring that optimisation to this path is future Dave's problem.

That is, we don't need to spray -EAGAIN return states everywhere, the caller just check the state machine state for completion to determine what action should be taken next. This greatly simplifies the code within the state machine implementation as it now only has to handle 0 for success or -errno for error and it doesn't need to tell the caller to retry.

2022-05-12xfs: separate out initial attr_set statesDave Chinner
We current use XFS_DAS_UNINIT for several steps in the attr_set state machine. We use it for setting shortform xattrs, converting from shortform to leaf, leaf add, leaf-to-node and leaf add. All of these things are essentially known before we start the state machine iterating, so we really should separate them out: XFS_DAS_SF_ADD: - tries to do a shortform add - on success -> done - on ENOSPC converts to leaf, -> XFS_DAS_LEAF_ADD - on error, dies. XFS_DAS_LEAF_ADD: - tries to do leaf add - on success: - inline attr -> done - remote xattr || REPLACE -> XFS_DAS_FOUND_LBLK - on ENOSPC converts to node, -> XFS_DAS_NODE_ADD - on error, dies XFS_DAS_NODE_ADD: - tries to do node add - on success: - inline attr -> done - remote xattr || REPLACE -> XFS_DAS_FOUND_NBLK - on error, dies This makes it easier to understand how the state machine starts up and sets us up on the path to further state machine simplifications. This also converts the DAS state tracepoints to use strings rather than numbers, as converting between enums and numbers requires manual counting rather than just reading the name. This also introduces a XFS_DAS_DONE state so that we can trace successful operation completions easily.

2022-05-04xfs: Set up infrastructure for log attribute replayAllison Henderson
Currently attributes are modified directly across one or more transactions. But they are not logged or replayed in the event of an error. The goal of log attr replay is to enable logging and replaying of attribute operations using the existing delayed operations infrastructure. This will later enable the attributes to become part of larger multi part operations that also must first be recorded to the log. This is mostly of interest in the scheme of parent pointers which would need to maintain an attribute containing parent inode information any time an inode is moved, created, or removed. Parent pointers would then be of interest to any feature that would need to quickly derive an inode path from the mount point. Online scrub, nfs lookups and fs grow or shrink operations are all features that could take advantage of this. This patch adds two new log item types for setting or removing attributes as deferred operations. The xfs_attri_log_item will log an intent to set or remove an attribute. The corresponding xfs_attrd_log_item holds a reference to the xfs_attri_log_item and is freed once the transaction is done. Both log items use a generic xfs_attr_log_format structure that contains the attribute name, value, flags, inode, and an op_flag that indicates if the operations is a set or remove.
