[PATCH v2 0/3] xfs: miscellaneous log recovery fixes

[Brian Foster]

Hi all,

Here's v2 of the log recovery fixups for filesystems with undersized
logs and the v4 NULL buffer verifier problem. The most significant
change is that patch 1 is rewritten to take a different approach to
sanity check the log block addresses used during log recovery cycle and
record verification. Specifically, it validates the log block number
used for each buffer on read or write. Also, I've dropped patch 4 for
now since I've not heard anything to suggest it's really necessary. 

Brian

v2:
- Use xlog buffer validation rather than explicit checks.
- Don't push AIL on log recovery error.
- Drop patch 4 (rfc).
- Fix up commit logs.
v1: https://marc.info/?l=linux-xfs&m=150877001230751&w=2

[PATCH v2 1/3] xfs: more robust recovery xlog buffer validation

[Brian Foster]

mkfs has a historical problem where it can format very small
filesystems with too small of a physical log. Under certain
conditions, log recovery of an associated filesystem can end up
passing garbage parameter values to some of the cycle and log record
verification functions due to bugs in log recovery not dealing with
such filesystems properly. This results in attempts to read from
bogus/underflowed log block addresses.

Since the buffer read may ultimately succeed, log recovery can
proceed with bogus data and otherwise go off the rails and crash.
One example of this is a negative last_blk being passed to
xlog_find_verify_log_record() causing us to skip the loop, pass a
NULL head pointer to xlog_header_check_mount() and crash.

Improve the xlog buffer verification to address this problem. We
already verify xlog buffer length, so update this mechanism to also
sanity check for a valid log relative block address and otherwise
return an error. Pass a fixed, valid log block address from
xlog_get_bp() since the target address will be validated when the
buffer is read. This ensures that any bogus log block address/length
calculations lead to graceful mount failure rather than risking a
crash or worse if recovery proceeds with bogus data.

Shouldn't this be (blk_no + bbcount) > log->l_logBBsize, since the
blk_no/bbcount parameters identify an extent within the log?

Yes, I suppose we can do that since we pass blk_no = 0 from the get_bp()
case. The new invocations pass the blockcount of the requested I/O
operation (as opposed to the buffer size, which is probably what I was
thinking), so that seems reasonable to me.

mkfs has a historical problem where it can format very small
filesystems with too small of a physical log. Under certain

passing garbage parameter values to some of the cycle and log record

Since the buffer read may ultimately succeed, log recovery can
proceed with bogus data and otherwise go off the rails and crash.
One example of this is a negative last_blk being passed to
xlog_find_verify_log_record() causing us to skip the loop, pass a
NULL head pointer to xlog_header_check_mount() and crash.

Improve the xlog buffer verification to address this problem. We
already verify xlog buffer length, so update this mechanism to also
sanity check for a valid log relative block address and otherwise
return an error. Pass a fixed, valid log block address from
xlog_get_bp() since the target address will be validated when the

[PATCH v2 2/3] xfs: fix log block underflow during recovery cycle verification

[Brian Foster]

It is possible for mkfs to format very small filesystems with too
small of an internal log with respect to the various minimum size
and block count requirements. If this occurs when the log happens to
be smaller than the scan window used for cycle verification and the
scan wraps the end of the log, the start_blk calculation in
xlog_find_head() underflows and leads to an attempt to scan an
invalid range of log blocks. This results in log recovery failure
and a failed mount.

Since there may be filesystems out in the wild with this kind of
geometry, we cannot simply refuse to mount. Instead, cap the scan
window for cycle verification to the size of the physical log. This
ensures that the cycle verification proceeds as expected when the
scan wraps the end of the log.

[PATCH v2 3/3] xfs: drain the buffer LRU on mount

[Brian Foster]

Log recovery of v4 filesystems does not use buffer verifiers because
log recovery historically can result in transient buffer corruption
when target buffers might be ahead of the log after a crash. v5
filesystems work around this problem with metadata LSN ordering.

While this log recovery verifier behavior is necessary on v4 supers,
it can result in leaving buffers around in the LRU without verifiers
attached for a significant amount of time. This leads to use of
unverified buffers while the filesystem is in active use, long after
recovery has completed.

To address this problem, drain all buffers from the LRU as a final
step of the log mount sequence. Note that this is done
unconditionally to provide a consistently clean cache footprint,
regardless of superblock version or log state. As a side effect,
this ensures that all cache resident, unverified buffers are
reclaimed after log recovery and therefore must be recreated with
verifiers on subsequent use.
