[PATCH -next v5 0/6] md: fix uaf for sync_thread

[PATCH -next v5 0/6] md: fix uaf for sync_thread

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

Changes in v5:
 - use rcu_dereference_protected() instead of rcu_access_pointer() where
 rcu_read_lock/unlock is not required.
 - add patch 4,5 to handle that bitmap timeout is set multiple times.

Changes in v4:
 - remove patch 2 from v3
 - fix sparse errors and warnings from v3, in order to do that, all access
 to md_thread need to be modified, patch 2-4 is splited to avoid a huge
 patch.

Changes in v3:
 - remove patch 3 from v2
 - use rcu instead of a new lock

Changes in v2:
 - fix a compile error for md-cluster in patch 2
 - replace spin_lock/unlock with spin_lock/unlock_irq in patch 5
 - don't wake up inside the new lock in md wakeup_thread in patch 5

Yu Kuai (6):
  md: pass a md_thread pointer to md_register_thread()
  md: factor out a helper to wake up md_thread directly
  dm-raid: remove useless checking in raid_message()
  md/bitmap: always wake up md_thread in timeout_store
  md/bitmap: factor out a helper to set timeout
  md: protect md_thread with rcu

[PATCH -next v5 2/6] md: factor out a helper to wake up md_thread directly

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

md_wakeup_thread() can't wakeup md_thread->tsk if md_thread->run is
still in progress, and in some cases md_thread->tsk need to be woke up
directly, like md_set_readonly() and do_md_stop().

Commit 9dfbdafda3b3 ("md: unlock mddev before reap sync_thread in
action_store") introduce a new scenario where unregister sync_thread is
not protected by 'reconfig_mutex', this can cause null-ptr-deference in
theroy:

t1: md_set_readonly		t2: action_store
				md_unregister_thread
				// 'reconfig_mutex' is not held
// 'reconfig_mutex' is held by caller
if (mddev->sync_thread)
				 thread = *threadp
				 *threadp = NULL
 wake_up_process(mddev->sync_thread->tsk)
 // null-ptr-deference

This patch factor out a helper to wake up md_thread directly, so that
'sync_thread' won't be accessed multiple times from the reader side. And
perhaps this helper will be used later to fix action_store().

This patch also prepare to protect md_thread with rcu.

[PATCH -next v5 4/6] md/bitmap: always wake up md_thread in timeout_store

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

md_wakeup_thread() can handle the case that pass in md_thread is NULL,
the only difference is that md_wakeup_thread() will be called when
current timeout is 'MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT', this should not matter
because timeout_store() is not hot path, and the daemon process is
woke up more than demand from other context already.

This patch prepare to factor out a helper to set timeout.

[PATCH -next v5 5/6] md/bitmap: factor out a helper to set timeout

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

Register/unregister 'mddev->thread' are both under 'reconfig_mutex',
however, some context didn't hold the mutex to access mddev->thread,
which can cause null-ptr-deference:

1) md_bitmap_daemon_work() can be called from md_check_recovery() where
'reconfig_mutex' is not held, deference 'mddev->thread' might cause
null-ptr-deference, because md_unregister_thread() reset the pointer
before stopping the thread.

2) timeout_store() access 'mddev->thread' multiple times,
null-ptr-deference can be triggered if 'mddev->thread' is reset in the
middle.

This patch factor out a helper to set timeout, the new helper always
check if 'mddev->thread' is null first, so that problem 1 can be fixed.

Now that this helper only access 'mddev->thread' once, but it's possible
that 'mddev->thread' is freed while this helper is still in progress,
hence the problem is not fixed yet. Follow up patches will fix this by
protecting md_thread with rcu.

[PATCH -next v5 6/6] md: protect md_thread with rcu

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

Our test reports a uaf for 'mddev->sync_thread':

T1                      T2
md_start_sync
 md_register_thread
 // mddev->sync_thread is set
			raid1d
			 md_check_recovery
			  md_reap_sync_thread
			   md_unregister_thread
			    kfree

 md_wakeup_thread
  wake_up
  ->sync_thread was freed

Root cause is that there is a small windown between register thread and
wake up thread, where the thread can be freed concurrently.

Currently, a global spinlock 'pers_lock' is borrowed to protect
'mddev->thread', this problem can be fixed likewise, however, there might
be similar problem elsewhere, and use a global lock for all the cases is
not good.

This patch protect md_thread with rcu.

Why not just always use rcu_read_lock()? Even if it's safe with
reconfig_mutex, it wouldn't harm much and would make the code a bit less
ugly.

Do we know that reconfig_mutex is always held when we call
md_unregister_thread()? Seems plausible, but maybe it's worth adding a
lockdep_assert_held() to md_unregsiter_thread().

Of course, I'll do that in next version.

Unfortunally this is not true for now, md_unregister_thread() can be
called without this mutex from action_store(), and this is problematic,
I'm tring to revert this change in the other thread:

md: fix that MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING can be cleared while sync_thread is
still running.

I think it's not good to add lockdep_assert_held() for now...

Why do we need this change? To add __rcu later?

Can we do something like:

struct md_thread __rcu *md_register_thread(void (*run) (struct md_thread *),
               struct mddev *mddev, const char *name)

Thanks,
Song

Add __rcu is one reason, more importantly is to assign md_thread inside
md_register_thread in patch 6:

rcu_assign_pointer(*threadp, thread);

I think this is not necessary, if we don't want to change api, we must
use rcu_assign_pointer for each caller to set md_thread.

I think it is better to use rcu_assign_pointer at the caller side.

I'll remove this patch, and use rcu_assign_pointer() in the caller
directly in the next version.
