1 ext4: fix potential use after free after remounting with noblock_validity
3 From: "zhangyi (F)" <yi.zhang@huawei.com>
5 Remount process will release system zone which was allocated before if
6 "noblock_validity" is specified. If we mount an ext4 file system to two
7 mountpoints with default mount options, and then remount one of them
8 with "noblock_validity", it may trigger a use after free problem when
9 someone accessing the other one.
14 User access mountpoint "foo" | Remount mountpoint "bar"
16 ext4_map_blocks() | ext4_remount()
17 check_block_validity() | ext4_setup_system_zone()
18 ext4_data_block_valid() | ext4_release_system_zone()
19 | free system_blks rb nodes
20 access system_blks rb nodes |
21 trigger use after free |
23 This problem can also be reproduced by one mountpint, At the same time,
24 add_system_zone() can get called during remount as well so there can be
25 racing ext4_data_block_valid() reading the rbtree at the same time.
27 This patch add RCU to protect system zone from releasing or building
28 when doing a remount which inverse current "noblock_validity" mount
29 option. It assign the rbtree after the whole tree was complete and
30 do actual freeing after rcu grace period, avoid any intermediate state.
