[PATCH 1/4] btrfs: add NO_FS_INFO to btrfs_printk

[PATCH 1/4] btrfs: add NO_FS_INFO to btrfs_printk

[Anand Jain]

The first argument to btrfs_printk() wrappers such as
btrfs_warn_in_rcu(), btrfs_info_in_rcu(), etc.. is fs_info, but in some
context like scan and assembling of the volumes there isn't fs_info yet,
so those code generally don't use the btrfs_printk() wrappers and it
could could still use NULL but then it would become hard to distinguish
whether fs_info is NULL for genuine reason or a bug.

So introduce a define NO_FS_INFO to be used instead of NULL so that we
know the code where fs_info isn't initialized and also we have a
consistent logging functions. Thanks.

[PATCH 2/4] btrfs: stop using uninitiazlised fs_info in device_list_add()

[Anand Jain]

fs_info is born during mount, and operations before the mount such as
scanning and assembling of the device volume should happen without any
reference to fs_info.

However the patch commit a9261d4125c9 (btrfs: harden agaist duplicate
fsid on scanned devices) used fs_info to call btrfs_warn_in_rcu() and
btrfs_info_in_rcu(), so if fs_info is NULL, the stacked functions which
leads to btrfs_printk() which shall print "unknown" instead of sb->s_id.
Or even might UAF as reported in [1].

So do the right thing, don't use fs_info instead use NO_FS_INFO in
btrfs_warn_in_rcu() and btrfs_info_in_rcu() for the btrfs_printk()
to take care of it properly.

With your previous patch, which already checked NULL pointer, I didn't
see the need for NO_FS_INFO.

Or do you believe this calling site is a special?
If so, I still didn't get the point of NO_FS_INFO, just extra lines
using __func__ or "during scan: xxxxx" looks enough to me.

Thanks,

I agree with this assessment. What value does NO_FS_INFO bring in
comparison to plain NULL that it warrants a special case?

[PATCH 3/4] btrfs: make the scan logs consistent

[Anand Jain]

Typically we follow, a logging format <parameter> <value> and no ":"
so just follow that here.

David,
If required you may roll this into the patch 2/4 in this series. I didn't
dare, as there may be some concerns that it isn't relevent there.

[PATCH 4/4] btrfs: use btrfs consistent logging wrappers

[Anand Jain]

Now as we could use the btrfs_info(), btrfs_warn() etc.. in the context
where fs_info is not yet initialized, so replace pr_info with btrfs_info
in device_list_add() for a consistent log format from btrfs.

I'm not sure why this is needed.

Could you give me an example in which NULL is not clear enough?

The first argument in btrfs_info_in_rcu() can be NULL like for example.. 
btrfs_info_in_rcu(NULL, ..) which then it shall print the prefix..

    BTRFS info (device <unknown>):

  Lets say due to some bug local copy of the variable fs_info wasn't 
initialized then we end up printing the same unknown <unknown>.

   So in the context of device_list_add() as there is no fs_info 
genuinely and be different from unknown we use 
btrfs_info_in_rcu(NO_FS_INFO, ..) to get prefix something like..

  BTRFS info (device ...):

This is wrong if the local copy variable is not initialized then it will
get random value from stack which will likely crash during deref because
it will most certainly not be NULL.

Then that's a bug to fix.

But that's the only context we don't have an initialized fs_info.

I don't like the idea to use some random pointer as a special indicator
only for 1 or 2 call sites.

And if you don't like the "<unknown>" string, unifing them to "..."
looks better to me.

With the fixup to set fs_info to NULL on a device that's unmounted, do
we still need the NO_FS_INFO stub?  The only difference I can see is a
to print "..." instead of "<unknown>" that I don't find too useful or
improving the output.

My idea about the stub fs info was to avoid any access to fs_info inside
device_list_add in case we can't reliably close the race where scan can
read device::fs_info during mount that sets it up, but as I'm told it's
not a problem anymore.

  Its trivial we don't need NO_FS_INFO IMO.

  Agree. Two ways we can make it better one use open code.
  Patch [1] disk that.
  [1]
  [PATCH 1/2] btrfs: open code log helpers in device_list_add()

  two, change btrfs_printk() and all its wrapper to use fs_devices
  instead of fs_info. It solves two purposes, device name
  does not make sense for logging of volume so will use fsid,
  and avoid confusion when the device errors are being reported.
  Secondly we could use btrfs_printk() wrappers in the unmounted context.
  And added bonus is logging becomes truly consistent.
  Let me know if you think this is the right way, will look into it.

  Using NULL instead of fs_info or open code or using fs_devices
  (as discussed above) will solve it.

  The analysis about the race needed few more information, so I am
  not sure.

  My idea is to make it theoretically correct. Using
  uninitialized fs_info in device_list_add is wrong.

Thanks, Anand

Re: [PATCH 1/4] btrfs: add NO_FS_INFO to btrfs_printk

[Anand Jain]

David,

  Ping on this.
  Any idea if the open code as in the patch below [1] is better
  or how do we fix it? My proposal about using fsid in the
  btrfs_printk() instead of current sb->s_id is another choice.

  [1]
  [PATCH 1/2] btrfs: open code log helpers in device_list_add()

  I think for now make it open code as in [1] so it stands correct.

Thanks, Anand
