[PATCH for-4.15 0/3] tools/oxenstored bugfixes

[Andrew Cooper]

All of these been posted before, but were tangled in other content which is
not appropriate for 4.15 any more.  As a consequence, I didn't get around to
committing them before the code freeze.

They were all found with unit testing, specifically fuzzing the
serialising/deserialising logic introduced for restartiblity, asserting that
the tree before and after was identical.

The unit testing/fuzzing content isn't suitable for 4.15, but these bugfixes
want backporting to all releases, and should therefore be considered for 4.15
at this point.

[PATCH 1/3] tools/oxenstored: Fix quota calculation for mkdir EEXIST

[Andrew Cooper]

From: Edwin Török <edvin.torok@citrix.com>

We increment the domain's quota on mkdir even when the node already exists.
This results in a quota inconsistency after live update, where reconstructing
the tree from scratch results in a different quota.

Not a security issue because the domain uses up quota faster, so it will only
get a Quota error sooner than it should.

Found by the structured fuzzer.

Thanks for these.  They look like straightforward bugfixes, so they
don't need a release ack, but FTR

[PATCH 2/3] tools/oxenstored: Reject invalid watch paths early

[Andrew Cooper]

From: Edwin Török <edvin.torok@citrix.com>

Watches on invalid paths were accepted, but they would never trigger.  The
client also got no notification that its watch is bad and would never trigger.

Found again by the structured fuzzer, due to an error on live update reload:
the invalid watch paths would get rejected during live update and the list of
watches would be different pre/post live update.

The testcase is watch on `//`, which is an invalid path.

Great work. Fuzzing is often thought as best to find bugs in languages like C where memory is explicitly managed but here it reveals logical bugs.

[PATCH 3/3] tools/oxenstored: mkdir conflicts were sometimes missed

[Andrew Cooper]

From: Edwin Török <edvin.torok@citrix.com>

Due to how set_write_lowpath was used here it didn't detect create/delete
conflicts.  When we create an entry we must mark our parent as modified
(this is what creating a new node via write does).

Otherwise we can have 2 transactions one creating, and another deleting a node
both succeeding depending on timing.  Or one transaction reading an entry,
concluding it doesn't exist, do some other work based on that information and
successfully commit even if another transaction creates the node via mkdir
meanwhile.

Christian, would you be able to do a maintainer review ?

All of these been posted before, but were tangled in other content which is
not appropriate for 4.15 any more.  As a consequence, I didn't get around to
committing them before the code freeze.

They were all found with unit testing, specifically fuzzing the
serialising/deserialising logic introduced for restartiblity, asserting that
the tree before and after was identical.

The unit testing/fuzzing content isn't suitable for 4.15, but these bugfixes
want backporting to all releases, and should therefore be considered for 4.15
at this point.
