[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/2] linux-aio: fix two NULL pointer dereferences failure paths

[Nishanth Aravamudan]

laio_init() can fail for a couple of reasons, which will lead to a NULL
pointer dereference in laio_attach_aio_context(), called from
aio_get_linux_aio().

Test case 1:
    Set /proc/sys/fs/max-aio-nr to 0. Start a guest with an aio=native
    disk.

    Result: laio_init() returns NULL due to not being able to allocate
    any AIO contexts. This NULL is assigned to ctx->linux_aio and
    dereferenced in aio_get_linux_aio.

Test case 2:
    Set /proc/sys/fs/max-aio-nr to 128. Start a guest with an aio=native
    disk and one in-use I/O thread.

    Result: laio_init() returns NULL due to not being able to allocate
    additional AIO contexts for the I/O thread. This NULL is assigned to
    ctx->linux_aio and dereferenced in aio_get_linux_aio.

Thanks to Jon Snow, Eric Blake and Kevin Wolf for review comments on v1
and v2.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 1/2] linux-aio: properly bubble up errors from initialization

[Nishanth Aravamudan]

laio_init() can fail for a couple of reasons, which will lead to a NULL
pointer dereference in laio_attach_aio_context().

To solve this, add a aio_setup_linux_aio() function which is called
early in raw_open_common. If this fails, propagate the error up. The
signature of aio_get_linux_aio() was not modified, because it seems
preferable to return the actual errno from the possible failing
initialization calls.

Add an assert that aio_get_linux_aio() cannot return NULL.

---
Changes from v2 -> v3 (thanks to Eric Blake and Kevin Wolf for review):

Use a boolean false rather than 0 in assignment to use_linux_aio.
Drop ending '.' from error_report() calls.
Fix typo in commit message (propogates -> propagates).
Move aio_setup_linux_aio call to raw_open_common.

Changes from v1 -> v2 (thanks to Kevin Wolf for review):

Rather than affect virtio-scsi/blk at all, make all the changes internal
to file-posix.c. Thanks to Kevin Wolf for the suggested change.

It would be nice if the error message could distinguish this error...

... from this one. And it also makes sense to propagate the errno back with
error_setg_errno.

To do this, add an "Error **errp" parameter to the function and you can keep the
return type (LinuxAioState *).

And this will then need "Error **errp" as well.

Thank you for this suggestion! I will send out a v4 with this and your
other feedback integrated.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 2/2] block/file-posix: reconfigure aio on iothread start

[Nishanth Aravamudan]

When the AioContext changes, we need to associate a LinuxAioState with
the new AioContext. Use the bdrv_attach_aio_context callback and call
the new aio_setup_linux_aio(), which will allocate a new AioContext if
needed, and return errors on failures. If it fails for any reason,
fallback to threaded AIO with an error message, as the device is already
in-use by the guest.

Note this patch didn't exist in v2, but is a result of feedback to that
posting.

This should be squashed into patch 1, no?

Yes, without it, patch 1 is incorrect. Specifically, at least the
assertion in aio_get_linux_aio() won't hold true without it.

Yes, you are right! Sorry about that. I'll send a v4 today.
