[PATCH v6 1/5] block/nbd: nbd_channel_error() shutdown channel unconditionally

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

Don't rely on connection being totally broken in case of -EIO. More
safe and correct just shutdown the channel anyway, as we change the
state and going to reconnect.

If you don't mind me tweaking grammar, I propose:

Safer and more correct is to just shut down the channel anyway, since
we change the state and plan on reconnecting.

[PATCH v6 2/5] block/nbd: move nbd_recv_coroutines_wake_all() up

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

We are going to use it in nbd_channel_error(), so move it up. Note,
that we are going also refactor and rename
nbd_recv_coroutines_wake_all() in future anyway, so keeping it where it
is and making forward declaration doesn't make real sense.

[PATCH v6 4/5] block/nbd: drop connection_co

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

OK, that's a big rewrite of the logic.

Pre-patch we have an always running coroutine - connection_co. It does
reply receiving and reconnecting. And it leads to a lot of difficult
and unobvious code around drained sections and context switch. We also
abuse bs->in_flight counter which is increased for connection_co and
temporary decreased in points where we want to allow drained section to
begin. One of these place is in another file: in nbd_read_eof() in
nbd/client.c.

We also cancel reconnect and requests waiting for reconnect on drained
begin which is not correct. And this patch fixes that.

Let's finally drop this always running coroutine and go another way:
do both reconnect and receiving in request coroutines.

The detailed list of changes below (in the sequence of diff hunks).

1. receiving coroutines are woken directly from nbd_channel_error, when
   we change s->state

2. nbd_co_establish_connection_cancel(): we don't have drain_begin now,
   and in nbd_teardown_connection() all requests should already be
   finished (and reconnect is done from request). So
   nbd_co_establish_connection_cancel() is called from
   nbd_cancel_in_flight() (to cancel the request that is doing
   nbd_co_establish_connection()) and from reconnect_delay_timer_cb()
   (previously we didn't need it, as reconnect delay only should cancel
   active requests not the reconnection itself. But now reconnection
   itself is done in the separate thread (we now call
   nbd_client_connection_enable_retry() in nbd_open()), and we need to
   cancel the requests that waits in nbd_co_establish_connection()
   now).

2. We do receive headers in request coroutine. But we also should
   dispatch replies for another pending requests. So,
   nbd_connection_entry() is turned into nbd_receive_replies(), which
   does reply dispatching until it receive another request headers, and
   returns when it receive the requested header.

3. All old staff around drained sections and context switch is dropped.
   In details:
   - we don't need to move connection_co to new aio context, as we
     don't have connection_co anymore
   - we don't have a fake "request" of connection_co (extra increasing
     in_flight), so don't care with it in drain_begin/end
   - we don't stop reconnection during drained section anymore. This
     means that drain_begin may wait for a long time (up to
     reconnect_delay). But that's an improvement and more correct
     behavior see below[*]

4. In nbd_teardown_connection() we don't have to wait for
   connection_co, as it is dropped. And cleanup for s->ioc and nbd_yank
   is moved here from removed connection_co.

5. In nbd_co_do_establish_connection() we now should handle
   NBD_CLIENT_CONNECTING_NOWAIT: if new request comes when we are in
   NBD_CLIENT_CONNECTING_NOWAIT, it still should call
   nbd_co_establish_connection() (who knows, maybe connection already
   established by thread in background). But we shouldn't wait: if
   nbd_co_establish_connection() can't return new channel immediately
   the request should fail (we are in NBD_CLIENT_CONNECTING_NOWAIT
   state).

6. nbd_reconnect_attempt() is simplified: it's now easier to wait for
   other requests in the caller, so here we just assert that fact.
   Also delay time is now initialized here: we can easily detect first
   attempt and start a timer.

7. nbd_co_reconnect_loop() is dropped, we don't need it. Reconnect
   retries are fully handle by thread (nbd/client-connection.c), delay
   timer we initialize in nbd_reconnect_attempt(), we don't have to
   bother with s->drained and friends. nbd_reconnect_attempt() now
   called from nbd_co_send_request().

8. nbd_connection_entry is dropped: reconnect is now handled by
   nbd_co_send_request(), receiving reply is now handled by
   nbd_receive_replies(): all handled from request coroutines.

9. So, welcome new nbd_receive_replies() called from request coroutine,
   that receives reply header instead of nbd_connection_entry().
   Like with sending requests, only one coroutine may receive in a
   moment. So we introduce receive_mutex, which is locked around
   nbd_receive_reply(). It also protects some related fields. Still,
   full audit of thread-safety in nbd driver is a separate task.
   New function waits for a reply with specified handle being received
   and works rather simple:

   Under mutex:
     - if current handle is 0, do receive by hand. If another handle
       received - switch to other request coroutine, release mutex and
       yield. Otherwise return success
     - if current handle == requested handle, we are done
     - otherwise, release mutex and yield

10: in nbd_co_send_request() we now do nbd_reconnect_attempt() if
    needed. Also waiting in free_sema queue we now wait for one of two
    conditions:
    - connectED, in_flight < MAX_NBD_REQUESTS (so we can start new one)
    - connectING, in_flight == 0, so we can call
      nbd_reconnect_attempt()
    And this logic is protected by s->send_mutex

    Also, on failure we don't have to care of removed s->connection_co

11. nbd_co_do_receive_one_chunk(): now instead of yield() and wait for
    s->connection_co we just call new nbd_receive_replies().

12. nbd_co_receive_one_chunk(): place where s->reply.handle becomes 0,
    which means that handling of the whole reply is finished. Here we
    need to wake one of coroutines sleeping in nbd_receive_replies().
    If now one sleeps - do nothing. That's another behavior change: we
    don't have endless recv() in the idle time. It may be considered as
    a drawback. If so, it may be fixed later.

13. nbd_reply_chunk_iter_receive(): don't care about removed
    connection_co, just ping in_flight waiters.

14. Don't create connection_co, enable retry in the connection thread
    (we don't have own reconnect loop anymore)

15. We need now nbd_co_establish_connection_cancel() call in
    nbd_cancel_in_flight(), to cancel the request that doing connection
    attempt.

[*], ok, now we don't cancel reconnect on drain begin. That's correct:
    reconnect feature leads to possibility of long-running requests (up
    to reconnect delay). Still, drain begin is not a reason to kill
    long requests. We should wait for them.

    This also means, that we can again reproduce a dead-lock, described
    in 8c517de24a8a1dcbeb54e7e12b5b0fda42a90ace.
    Why we are OK with it:
    1. Now this is not absolutely-dead dead-lock: the vm is unfrozen
       after reconnect delay. Actually 8c517de24a8a1dc fixed a bug in
       NBD logic, that was not described in 8c517de24a8a1dc and led to
       forever dead-lock. The problem was that nobody woken free_sema
       queue, but drain_begin can't finish until there is a request in
       free_sema queue. Now we have a reconnect delay timer that works
       well.
    2. It's not a problem of NBD driver, it's a problem of ide code,
       that does drain_begin under global mutex
    3. That doesn't reproduce if chose scsi instead of ide.

Singular/plural disagreement. I think the intended meaning is
'requests that wait' and not 'request that waits'.

It sounds like you're more worried about auditing for which locks are
held longer than necessary, rather than expecting to find cases where
we aren't thread-safe because we are lacking locks?  At any rate, as
this patch is already easier to reason about, I'm okay deferring that
audit to later patches.

The case where no coroutine is waiting to receive a reply should only
happen due to a malicious server (a compliant server will only send
replies matching an existing pending request).

I agree that this point means that it is appropriate to address that
in a separate patch series.  Hopefully someone tackles it before 6.2,
but even if not, I agree that the worst that happens is that we have a
command stalled waiting on a long timeout, rather than actual
deadlock.

>     3. That doesn't reproduce if chose scsi instead of ide.

Seems like this sentence fragment fits better as the tail of 2, rather
than as a separate bullet 3?  I'll reword as:

...it's a problem of the ide code, because it does drain_begin under
the global mutex; the problem doesn't reproduce when using scsi
instead of ide.

The diff gets a bit harder to read at this point (deleting one
function, renaming another, but portions get interleaved in), but it's
not impossible.

For the record, the kernel folks are currently debating a patch series
to fix a use-after-free bug in nbd.ko when the server sends an
unexpected reply.  I'm so glad that qemu has already been handling
unexpected replies gracefully.
https://lists.debian.org/nbd/2021/09/msg00136.html

I hope your TODO doesn't represent some sort of CVE in qemu talking to
a malicious server.

Verdict: I found some typos/grammar fixes, but I think I can touch
those up.  I'm now hammering on the patches in my NBD tree, and
barring any surprises, this will be in my next pull request Monday at
the latest.

I just try to not interduce new not-threadsafe things. But I'm not sure do we have a good kind of threadsafety in nbd driver code now.

With new code, when we don't have any in-flight requests - there are no waiting coroutines as well.
And nobody will note if connection silently get lost.

With old code, we always have recv() call called from connection_co, so we should catch disconnects (at least some kinds of disconnects or if keep-alive is set up properly) sooner and start reconnection procedure.

[PATCH v6 5/5] block/nbd: check that received handle is valid

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

Yeah, and it's on my list for this week.  I'm overdue for a pull
request, so I want to get this series in if at all possible, which
means I'll get on that (large) review soon.  Meanwhile, the ping is
appreciated!
