The patch is line-wrapped.  More importantly, it doesn't seem to do
what your description indicates it should do.  And lastly, does this
fix a bug, possibly even one you have a testcase for, or was it found
by code inspection?

I found it by code inspection. A race condition may happen with the old 
code if two threads are both trying to open the same sg with O_EXCL 
simultaneously. It's possible that they both find fsds list is empty and 
get_exclude(sdp) returns 0, then they both call set_exclude() and break 
out from wait_event_interruptible and resume open. So it's necessary to 
check again with sg_open_exclusive_lock held to ensure only one can set 
sdp->exclude and return >0 to break out from wait_event loop.

Sure.  What I meant by line-wrapped is that your mailer mangled the
patch.  Those two lines should have been one:

Makes sense.  And reading the code again, I have to wonder what monkey
came up with the get_exclude/set_exclude functions.

Can I sucker you into a slightly larger cleanup?  I think the entire
"get_exclude(sdp)) ? 0 : set_exclude(sdp, 1)" should be simplified.
And once you add the try_set_exclude(), set_exclude will only ever do
clear_exclude, so you might as well rename and simplify that as well.

Let no good deed go unpunished.

I find my patch is not enough to avoid this race condition said above. 
Since sg_add_sfp() just do an add_to_list without check and wait_event 
check don't set a sign to announce a future add_to_list is on going, the 
time window between wait_event and sg_add_sfp gives others to open sg 
before the prechecked sg_add_sfp() called.

The same case also happens when one shared and one exclude open occur 
simultaneously. If the shared open pass the precheck stage and ready to 
sg_add_sfp(). At this time another exclude open will also pass the check:
   ((!sfds_list_empty(sdp) || get_exclude(sdp)) ? 0 : 
try_set_exclude(sdp)));
Then, both open can succeed.

I think the point is we separate the check&add routine and haven't set 
an sign to let others wait until the whole actions complete. I suppose 
we may change the steps a bit to avoid trouble like this. If we can 
malloc&initialize sfp at first, and then check&add sfp under the 
protection of sg_index_lock, everything seems to be quite simple.

We also should prevent sg_device change those parameters which are 
needed to copy to sfp during sfp initialization.

[PATCH v2 1/1] [SCSI] sg: fix race condition when do exclusive open

[vaughan]

Rewrite the last patch.
Add a new field 'toopen' in sg_device to count ongoing sg_open's. By checking both 'toopen' and 'exclude' marks when do exclusive open, old race conditions can be avoided.
Replace global sg_open_exclusive_lock with a per device lock - sfd_lock. Since sfds list is now protected by the lock owned by the same sg_device, sg_index_lock becomes a real global lock to only protect sg devices lookup.
Also did some cleanup, such as remove get_exclude() and rename set_exclude() to clear_exclude().

Re: [PATCH v2 1/1] [SCSI] sg: fix race condition when do exclusive open

[vaughan]

Hi Jörn Engel,

Ping.
How about this one? I found my lat patch hasn't fix the issue, so I
modified it a little more. Last thread is:
Subject: Re: [PATCH] sg: atomize check and set sdp->exclude in sg_open
Message-ID: <20130605154106.GA2737@logfs.org>

Regards,
Vaughan

于 2013年06月17日 21:10, vaughan 写道:
> Rewrite the last patch.
> Add a new field 'toopen' in sg_device to count ongoing sg_open's. By checking both 'toopen' and 'exclude' marks when do exclusive open, old race conditions can be avoided.
> Replace global sg_open_exclusive_lock with a per device lock - sfd_lock. Since sfds list is now protected by the lock owned by the same sg_device, sg_index_lock becomes a real global lock to only protect sg devices lookup.
> Also did some cleanup, such as remove get_exclude() and rename set_exclude() to clear_exclude().

Ping. Hope you're back.
I've tested it with many combinations of exclusive and shared opens.

I think the 'toopen' is a bad choice.  I'm having trouble wrapping my
head around the semantics of this variable, your description feels a
bit handwavy, the main noun is missing in the command above, I think I
found one more overflow bug,...

What you ended up doing is reimplement a rw_semaphone.  Why not use
one instead?  down_write() for exclusive access, down_read() for
non-exclusive, _trylock variants for nonblocking opens, etc.

Would this work?

The critical part of open is to add a new sfd to the list and its 
protected by the
spin_lock(sg_index_lock previously) well. So I added an counter as a 
sign rather than
introducing another spinlock or mutex which means I should deal with 
potential deadlock.
The code may be simpler with a rwsem implementation as you suggest, I'll 
modify it in
this way.

There is no overflow bug, I eliminated it with the following line :)
      if (!sdp->exclude && sdp->toopen != INT_MAX) { ...

Do you agree that I use a per device spin_lock 'sfd_lock' to protect 
sfds list and leave sg_index_lock
only protect the global sg device lookup? I think it's reasonable for 
concurrency.


Thanks,
Vaughan

[PATCH v3 1/1] [SCSI] sg: fix race condition when do exclusive open

[vaughan]

Use rwsem to aid opens. Exclusive open has to get write lock and non-exclusive open should get read lock.
Replace global sg_open_exclusive_lock with a per device lock - sfd_lock. Since sfds list is now protected by the lock owned by the same sg_device, sg_index_lock becomes a real global lock to only protect sg devices lookup.

Please pay attention to sdp->detached. Previously sg_open may also race with sg_remove. Now there are two points for sg_open to detect detached and finish itself. One is at sg_device lookup and the other is when trying to link new sfp into the sfds list in sg_add_sfp.
I don't think it's necessary to do extra set_exclude and wake_up o_excl_wait in sg_release before, so I remove them and only do the cleanup in sg_remove_sfp.
Although simple testcases are passed, I'm not certain if I've fixed it well, please give me any comments as you wish.

Had a quick read and I think I like the code.  What I still dislike is
that it merges several independent functional changes into one patch.

Can you create three patches, one for the rwsem part, one for pushing
the locking down to per-device locking and one for the rest?  That
would make it easier for me to understand and trust the individual
patches and for James/Linus to revert one, if it turns out to be bad.

[PATCH v4 0/4] [SCSI] sg: fix race condition in sg_open

[Vaughan Cao]

There is a race when open sg with O_EXCL flag. Also a race may happen between
sg_open and sg_remove.

Changes from v3:
 * release o_sem in sg_release(), not in sg_remove_sfp().
 * not set exclude with sfd_lock held.

Vaughan Cao (4):
  [SCSI] sg: use rwsem to solve race during exclusive open
  [SCSI] sg: no need sg_open_exclusive_lock
  [SCSI] sg: checking sdp->detached isn't protected when open
  [SCSI] sg: push file descriptor list locking down to per-device
    locking

[PATCH v4 1/4] [SCSI] sg: use rwsem to solve race during exclusive open

[Vaughan Cao]

A race condition may happen if two threads are both trying to open the same sg
with O_EXCL simultaneously. It's possible that they both find fsds list is
empty and get_exclude(sdp) returns 0, then they both call set_exclude() and
break out from wait_event_interruptible and resume open.

Now use rwsem to protect this process. Exclusive open gets write lock and
others get read lock. The lock will be held until file descriptor is closed.
This also leads 'exclude' only a status rather than a check mark.

[PATCH v4 3/4] [SCSI] sg: checking sdp->detached isn't protected when open

[Vaughan Cao]

@detached is set under the protection of sg_index_lock. Without getting the
lock, new sfp will be added during sg removal and there is no chance for it
to be picked out. So check with sg_index_lock held in sg_add_sfp().

You can use ERR_PTR and friends instead of adding another parameter.

[PATCH v5 3/4] [SCSI] sg: checking sdp->detached isn't protected when open

[Vaughan Cao]

@detached is set under the protection of sg_index_lock. Without getting the
lock, new sfp will be added during sg removal and there is no chance for it
to be picked out. So check with sg_index_lock held in sg_add_sfp().

Changes from v4:
 * use ERR_PTR series instead of adding another parameter in sg_add_sfp

Push file descriptor list locking down to per-device locking. Let sg_index_lock
only protect device lookup.
sdp->detached is also set and checked with this lock held.

Changes from v4:
 * Since I use ERR_PTR and friends in sg_add_sfp, this patch should also be
updated to resolve conflict in cherrry-pick.

[PATCH v5 0/4] [SCSI] sg: fix race condition in sg_open

[Vaughan Cao]

There is a race when open sg with O_EXCL flag. Also a race may happen between
sg_open and sg_remove.

Changes from v4:
 * [3/4] use ERR_PTR series instead of adding another parameter in sg_add_sfp
 * [4/4] fix conflict for cherry-pick from v3.

Changes from v3:
 * release o_sem in sg_release(), not in sg_remove_sfp().
 * not set exclude with sfd_lock held.

Vaughan Cao (4):
  [SCSI] sg: use rwsem to solve race during exclusive open
  [SCSI] sg: no need sg_open_exclusive_lock
  [SCSI] sg: checking sdp->detached isn't protected when open
  [SCSI] sg: push file descriptor list locking down to per-device
    locking

[PATCH v5 1/4] [SCSI] sg: use rwsem to solve race during exclusive open

[Vaughan Cao]

A race condition may happen if two threads are both trying to open the same sg
with O_EXCL simultaneously. It's possible that they both find fsds list is
empty and get_exclude(sdp) returns 0, then they both call set_exclude() and
break out from wait_event_interruptible and resume open.

Now use rwsem to protect this process. Exclusive open gets write lock and
others get read lock. The lock will be held until file descriptor is closed.
This also leads 'exclude' only a status rather than a check mark.

This produces a couple of unused variable warnings which will excite the
static checkers, so I've removed them:

drivers/scsi/sg.c: In function ‘sg_open’:

Is insane code. You're adding a label to jump around setting retval=0
(which is completely superfluous: retval is already provably zero at
this point because of the check after retval =
scsi_autopm_get_device(sdp->device))

The sane way to write this is

	if ((sfp = sg_add_sfp(sdp, dev)))
		filp->private_data = sfp;
	else {
		retval = -ENOMEM;

		if (flags & O_EXCL) {

[PATCH v6 0/4][SCSI] sg: fix race condition in sg_open

[Vaughan Cao]

There is a race when open sg with O_EXCL flag. Also a race may happen between
sg_open and sg_remove.

Changes from v5:
 Patches based on v3.11-rc7 and passed sg_tst_excl test.
 * [1/4] * remove unused variables - res,sdp.
	 * fix insane code dealing with sg_add_sfp.
 * [2/4] resolve conflict with v3.11-rc7. 
 * [3/4] remove sem_out label.
 * [4/4] add sdp definition.

Changes from v4:
 * [3/4] use ERR_PTR series instead of adding another parameter in sg_add_sfp
 * [4/4] fix conflict for cherry-pick from v3.

Changes from v3:
 * release o_sem in sg_release(), not in sg_remove_sfp().
 * not set exclude with sfd_lock held.

Vaughan Cao (4):
  sg: use rwsem to solve race during exclusive open
  sg: no need sg_open_exclusive_lock
  sg: checking sdp->detached isn't protected when open
  sg: push file descriptor list locking down to per-device locking

There's still no need for the double if.  You know the value of retval
in each of the legs of the first if; its only non zero for the else leg,
so you can combine them thus:

        if ((sfp = sg_add_sfp(sdp, dev)))
                filp->private_data = sfp;

[PATCH v7 0/4][SCSI] sg: fix race condition in sg_open

[Vaughan Cao]

There is a race when open sg with O_EXCL flag. Also a race may happen between
sg_open and sg_remove.

Changes from v6:
 * [1/4] remove double if.
 * [3/4] fix via IS_ERR
Changes from v5:
 Patches based on v3.11-rc7 and passed sg_tst_excl test.
 * [1/4] * remove unused variables - res,sdp.
	 * fix insane code dealing with sg_add_sfp.
 * [2/4] resolve conflict with v3.11-rc7. 
 * [3/4] remove sem_out label.
 * [4/4] add sdp definition.

Changes from v4:
 * [3/4] use ERR_PTR series instead of adding another parameter in sg_add_sfp
 * [4/4] fix conflict for cherry-pick from v3.

Changes from v3:
 * release o_sem in sg_release(), not in sg_remove_sfp().
 * not set exclude with sfd_lock held.

[PATCH v7 1/4] sg: use rwsem to solve race during exclusive open

[Vaughan Cao]

A race condition may happen if two threads are both trying to open the same sg
with O_EXCL simultaneously. It's possible that they both find fsds list is
empty and get_exclude(sdp) returns 0, then they both call set_exclude() and
break out from wait_event_interruptible and resume open.

Now use rwsem to protect this process. Exclusive open gets write lock and
others get read lock. The lock will be held until file descriptor is closed.
This also leads 'exclude' only a status rather than a check mark.

Changes from v6:
 * remove double if.
Changes from v5:
 * remove unused variables
 * fix insane code dealing with sg_add_sfp.

[PATCH v7 2/4] sg: no need sg_open_exclusive_lock

[Vaughan Cao]

Open exclusive check is protected by o_sem, no need sg_open_exclusive_lock.
@exclude is used to record which type of rwsem we are holding.

[PATCH v7 3/4] sg: checking sdp->detached isn't protected when open

[Vaughan Cao]

@detached is set under the protection of sg_index_lock. Without getting the
lock, new sfp will be added during sg removal and there is no chance for it
to be picked out. So check with sg_index_lock held in sg_add_sfp().

Changes from v6:
 * fix via IS_ERR
Changes from v5:
 * remove sem_out label.
Changes from v4:
 * use ERR_PTR series instead of adding another parameter in sg_add_sfp

[PATCH v7 4/4] sg: push file descriptor list locking down to per-device locking

[Vaughan Cao]

Push file descriptor list locking down to per-device locking. Let sg_index_lock
only protect device lookup.
sdp->detached is also set and checked with this lock held.

Changes from v4:
 * Since I use ERR_PTR and friends in sg_add_sfp, this patch should also be
updated to resolve conflict in cherrry-pick.

[PATCH v6 3/4] sg: checking sdp->detached isn't protected when open

@detached is set under the protection of sg_index_lock. Without getting the

Changes from v5:
 * remove sem_out label.
Changes from v4:
 * use ERR_PTR series instead of adding another parameter in sg_add_sfp

[PATCH v6 4/4] sg: push file descriptor list locking down to per-device locking

[Vaughan Cao]

Push file descriptor list locking down to per-device locking. Let sg_index_lock
only protect device lookup.
sdp->detached is also set and checked with this lock held.

Changes from v4:
 * Since I use ERR_PTR and friends in sg_add_sfp, this patch should also be
updated to resolve conflict in cherrry-pick.

Open exclusive check is protected by o_sem, no need sg_open_exclusive_lock.
@exclude is used to record which type of rwsem we are holding.

[PATCH v5 3/4] [SCSI] sg: checking sdp->detached isn't protected when open

[Vaughan Cao]

@detached is set under the protection of sg_index_lock. Without getting the
lock, new sfp will be added during sg removal and there is no chance for it
to be picked out. So check with sg_index_lock held in sg_add_sfp().

Changes from v4:
 * use ERR_PTR series instead of adding another parameter in sg_add_sfp

Hi James,

sg driver has two races happen in
 a) exclusive open and non-exclusive open
 b) sg removal and sg open
I explained the scenario detail in the separate patches. I did test
those patches and
Jörn has reviewed them.  I got no response from Doug Gilbert for a long
time.
Would you care to pick these up?

Thanks,
Vaughan

Hi,

gave this warning from the build.

Tested O_EXCL with multiple processes and threads; passed.
sg driver prior to this patch had "leaky" O_EXCL logic
according to the same test. Block device passed.

James, could you clean this up:

Further testing suggests this patch on the sg driver is
broken, so I'll rescind my ack.

The case it is broken for is when a device is opened
without O_EXCL. Now if, while it is open, a second
thread/process tries to open the same device O_EXCL
then IMO the second open should fail with EBUSY.

My testing shows that O_EXCL opens properly deflect
other O_EXCL opens.

BTW the standard block driver (e.g. /dev/sdc) is broken
in exactly the same way, according to my tests.

Hi  Doug,

My test don't have this issue. The routine is something as below:

I start three opens without O_EXCL, wait 30s each, and open with
O_EXCL|O_NONBLOCK, it failed with EBUSY.
And I also call myopen with/without O_EXCL many times in background at
the same time, and the test is passed. I don't know why it failed in
your test.

Usage: myopen [-e][-n][-d delay] -f file
      -e: exclude
      -n: nonblock
      -d: delay N seconds and then close.

Hi,
After the initial failures about 36 hours ago, retesting
yesterday and today has not produced any unexpected
failures. And I have been trying hard on lk 3.10.4 and
lk 3.10.5 .

My test program is a bit more intense than yours and can
be found in the sg3_utils beta in the News section of this
page:
   http://sg.danny.cz/sg/

It is in the examples directory, two variants called
sg_tst_excl and sg_tst_excl2 . You will need a recent gcc
compiler, IOW something that can compile c++11 . gcc 4.7.3
in Ubuntu 13.04 only just manages, fedora 19 should do
better with gcc 4.8.1 . The threading is implemented using
pthreads so it should be reliable.

Typically I run multiple instances (processes) and each has
multiple threads. One instance can run '-x' which will cause
its first thread not to use O_EXCL **. All my tests currently
use O_NONBLOCK and that leads to lots of EBUSYs (sometimes
in the billions).

Doug Gilbert


** Using '-x' on two instances will cause an expected failure
    so can be used as a control.

Hi,
I'd like you to test your setup with sg_tst_excl or sg_tst_excl2 .
Since my last email, I have not seen any more failures with those
tests on the patched sg driver but I did see a couple on
/dev/sd* . With sg_tst_excl2, bsg devices can be used and since bsg
accepts and ignores O_EXCL, it fails reliably.

BTW I use scsi_debug with 'delay=0' for a pseudo device.

Hi Doug,

I run test for sg and sd drivers with both sg_tst_excl and sg_tst_excl2
on kernel vanilla 3.10.9 with mypatches included on Fedora19 x86_64
baremachine.
* I've tried several times with different -w and -n setting, no failure
for sg driver found.
* It's easy to find failure on both patched and non-patched kernel for
sd driver with the following test command:
    ./sg_tst_excl -w 3 -n 2000 -t 16 -x $1 &
    ./sg_tst_excl -w 3 -n 2000 -t 16 $1 &
    ./sg_tst_excl -w 0 -n 2000 -t 16 $1 &
    ./sg_tst_excl -w -1 -n 2000 -t 16 $1 &
    ./sg_tst_excl -w -2 -n 2000 -t 16 $1 &
I think option '-w 0/-1/-2' is significant to trigger the failure, since
when I only use '-w >0', test usually passed.


Thanks,
Vaughan

Hi,
Thanks for testing that. For others trying to follow this,
the usage message for that test utility is:

Usage: sg_tst_excl [-b] [-l <lba>] [-n <n_per_thr>] [-t <num_thrs>]
                    [-V] [-w <wait_ms>] [-x] <disk_device>
   where
     -b                block on open (def: O_NONBLOCK)
     -l <lba>          logical block to increment (def: 1000)
     -n <n_per_thr>    number of loops per thread (def: 200)
     -t <num_thrs>     number of threads (def: 4)
     -V                print version number then exit
     -w <wait_ms>      >0: sleep_for(<wait_ms>); =0: yield(); -1: no
                       wait; -2: sleep(0)  (def: 0)
     -x                don't use O_EXCL on first thread (def: use
                       O_EXCL on all threads)

Test O_EXCL open flag with sg driver. Each open/close cycle with the
O_EXCL flag does a double increment on lba (using its first 4 bytes).

----------------------

The test is using O_EXCL as a lock so that if a 4 byte integer in
a block starts out as even (and for a scsi_debug pseudo, blocks are
zero filled) then a open,double_increment,close sequence should
always see an even number after the open. Notice that it should be
safe for one process to run with '-x' so that its first thread
opens the device without the O_EXCL flag.

That bit looks fine to me.  I don't think it matters much, but sure,
why not!
