Subject: [PATCH 2/5] xfs: fix memory corruption during remote attr value buffer invalidation
Date: Thu, 09 Jan 2020 10:44:54 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <157859549406.164065.17179006268680393660.stgit@magnolia> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <157859548029.164065.5207227581806532577.stgit@magnolia>

From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@oracle.com>

While running generic/103, I observed what looks like memory corruption
and (with slub debugging turned on) a slub redzone warning on i386 when
inactivating an inode with a 64k remote attr value.

On a v5 filesystem, maximally sized remote attr values require one block
more than 64k worth of space to hold both the remote attribute value
header (64 bytes).  On a 4k block filesystem this results in a 68k
buffer; on a 64k block filesystem, this would be a 128k buffer.  Note
that even though we'll never use more than 65,600 bytes of this buffer,
XFS_MAX_BLOCKSIZE is 64k.

This is a problem because the definition of struct xfs_buf_log_format
allows for XFS_MAX_BLOCKSIZE worth of dirty bitmap (64k).  On i386 when we
invalidate a remote attribute, xfs_trans_binval zeroes all 68k worth of
the dirty map, writing right off the end of the log item and corrupting
memory.  We've gotten away with this on x86_64 for years because the
compiler inserts a u32 padding on the end of struct xfs_buf_log_format.

Fortunately for us, remote attribute values are written to disk with
xfs_bwrite(), which is to say that they are not logged.  Fix the problem
by removing all places where we could end up creating a buffer log item
for a remote attribute value and leave a note explaining why.

+ * Remote Attribute Values
+ * =======================

+ * to data blocks mapped by an inode's attribute fork, and they have an upper
+ * size limit of 64k.  Setting a value does not involve the XFS log.
+ *
+ * However, on a v5 filesystem, maximally sized remote attr values require one

+ * header (64 bytes).  On a 4k block filesystem this results in a 68k buffer;
+ * on a 64k block filesystem, this would be a 128k buffer.  Note that the log
+ * format can only handle a dirty buffer of XFS_MAX_BLOCKSIZE length (64k).
+ * Therefore, we /must/ ensure that remote attribute value buffers never touch
+ * the logging system and therefore never have a log item.
