At present, the object->file has the NULL pointer dereference problem in
ondemand-mode. The root cause is that the allocated fd and object->file
lifetime are inconsistent, and the user-space invocation to anon_fd uses
object->file. Following is the process that triggers the issue:
[write fd] [umount]
cachefiles_ondemand_fd_write_iter
fscache_cookie_state_machine
cachefiles_withdraw_cookie
if (!file) return -ENOBUFS
cachefiles_clean_up_object
cachefiles_unmark_inode_in_use
fput(object->file)
object->file = NULL
// file NULL pointer dereference!
__cachefiles_write(..., file, ...)
Fix this issue by add an additional reference count to the object->file
before write/llseek, and decrement after it finished.

Currently, cachefiles_commit_tmpfile() will only be called if object->flags
is set to CACHEFILES_OBJECT_USING_TMPFILE. Only cachefiles_create_file()
and cachefiles_invalidate_cookie() set this flag. Both of these functions
replace object->file with the new tmpfile, and both are called by
fscache_cookie_state_machine(), so there are no concurrency issues.
So the equation "d_backing_inode(dentry) == file_inode(object->file)" in
cachefiles_commit_tmpfile() will never hold true according to the above
conditions. This patch removes this part of the redundant code and does not
involve any other logical changes.

In the erofs on-demand loading scenario, read and write operations are
usually delivered through "off" and "len" contained in read req in user
mode. Naturally, pwrite is used to specify a specific offset to complete
write operations.
However, if the write(not pwrite) syscall is called multiple times in the
read-ahead scenario, we need to manually update ki_pos after each write
operation to update file->f_pos.
This step is currently missing from the cachefiles_ondemand_fd_write_iter
function, added to address this issue.

cachefiles_ondemand_fd_write_iter() function first aligns "pos" and "len"
to block boundaries. When calling __cachefiles_write(), the aligned "pos"
is passed in, but "len" is the original unaligned value(iter->count).
Additionally, the returned length of the write operation is the modified
"len" aligned by block size, which is unreasonable.
The alignment of "pos" and "len" is intended only to check whether the
cache has enough space. But the modified len should not be used as the
return value of cachefiles_ondemand_fd_write_iter() because the length we
passed to __cachefiles_write() is the previous "len". Doing so would result
in a mismatch in the data written on-demand. For example, if the length of
the user state passed in is not aligned to the block size (the preread
scene/DIO writes only need 512 alignment/Fault injection), the length of
the write will differ from the actual length of the return.
To solve this issue, since the __cachefiles_prepare_write() modifies the
size of "len", we pass "aligned_len" to __cachefiles_prepare_write() to
calculate the free blocks and use the original "len" as the return value of
cachefiles_ondemand_fd_write_iter().

Because it uses DIO writes, cachefiles is unable to make a write to the
backing file if that write is not aligned to and sized according to the
backing file's DIO block alignment. This makes it tricky to handle a write
to the cache where the EOF on the network file is not correctly aligned.
To get around this, netfslib attempts to tell the driver it is calling how
much more data there is available beyond the EOF that it can use to pad the
write (netfslib preclears the part of the folio above the EOF). However,
it tries to tell the cache what the maximum length is, but doesn't
calculate this correctly; and, in any case, cachefiles actually ignores the
value and just skips the block.
Fix this by:
(1) Change the value passed to indicate the amount of extra data that can
be added to the operation (now ->submit_extendable_to). This is much
simpler to calculate as it's just the end of the folio minus the top
of the data within the folio - rather than having to account for data
spread over multiple folios.
(2) Make cachefiles add some of this data if the subrequest it is given
ends at the network file's i_size if the extra data is sufficient to
pad out to a whole block.

This is the third version of this patch series, in which another patch set
is subsumed into this one to avoid confusing the two patch sets.
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-fsdevel/list/?series=854914)
We've been testing ondemand mode for cachefiles since January, and we're
almost done. We hit a lot of issues during the testing period, and this
patch series fixes some of the issues. The patches have passed internal
testing without regression.
The following is a brief overview of the patches, see the patches for
more details.
Patch 1-2: Add fscache_try_get_volume() helper function to avoid
fscache_volume use-after-free on cache withdrawal.
Patch 3: Fix cachefiles_lookup_cookie() and cachefiles_withdraw_cache()
concurrency causing cachefiles_volume use-after-free.
Patch 4: Propagate error codes returned by vfs_getxattr() to avoid
endless loops.
Patch 5-7: A read request waiting for reopen could be closed maliciously
before the reopen worker is executing or waiting to be scheduled. So
ondemand_object_worker() may be called after the info and object and even
the cache have been freed and trigger use-after-free. So use
cancel_work_sync() in cachefiles_ondemand_clean_object() to cancel the
reopen worker or wait for it to finish. Since it makes no sense to wait
for the daemon to complete the reopen request, to avoid this pointless
operation blocking cancel_work_sync(), Patch 1 avoids request generation
by the DROPPING state when the request has not been sent, and Patch 2
flushes the requests of the current object before cancel_work_sync().
Patch 8: Cyclic allocation of msg_id to avoid msg_id reuse misleading
the daemon to cause hung.
Patch 9: Hold xas_lock during polling to avoid dereferencing reqs causing
use-after-free. This issue was triggered frequently in our tests, and we
found that anolis 5.10 had fixed it. So to avoid failing the test, this
patch is pushed upstream as well.

Add missing lock protection in poll routine when iterating xarray,
otherwise:
Even with RCU read lock held, only the slot of the radix tree is
ensured to be pinned there, while the data structure (e.g. struct
cachefiles_req) stored in the slot has no such guarantee. The poll
routine will iterate the radix tree and dereference cachefiles_req
accordingly. Thus RCU read lock is not adequate in this case and
spinlock is needed here.

process_open_req
copen 6,A.size
// The expected failed copen was executed successfully
Expect copen to fail, and when it does, it closes fd, which sets the
object to close, and then close triggers reopen again. However, due to
msg_id reuse resulting in a successful copen, the anonymous fd is not
closed until the daemon exits. Therefore read requests waiting for reopen
to complete may trigger hung task.
To avoid this issue, allocate the msg_id cyclically to avoid reusing the
msg_id for a very short duration of time.

In cachefiles_check_volume_xattr(), the error returned by vfs_getxattr()
is not passed to ret, so it ends up returning -ESTALE, which leads to an
endless loop as follows:
cachefiles_acquire_volume
retry:
ret = cachefiles_check_volume_xattr
ret = -ESTALE
xlen = vfs_getxattr // return -EIO
// The ret is not updated when xlen < 0, so -ESTALE is returned.
return ret
// Supposed to jump out of the loop at this judgement.
if (ret != -ESTALE)
goto error_dir;
cachefiles_bury_object
// EIO causes rename failure
goto retry;
Hence propagate the error returned by vfs_getxattr() to avoid the above
issue. Do the same in cachefiles_check_auxdata().

reference count may be 0. So use the new fscache_try_get_volume() helper
function try to get its reference count.
If the reference count of fscache_volume is 0, fscache_put_volume() is
freeing it, so wait for it to be removed from cache->volumes.
If its reference count is not 0, call cachefiles_withdraw_volume() with
reference count protection to avoid the above issue.

We've been testing ondemand mode for cachefiles since January, and we're
almost done. We hit a lot of issues during the testing period, and this
patch set fixes some of the issues related to ondemand requests.
The patches have passed internal testing without regression.
The following is a brief overview of the patches, see the patches for
more details.
Patch 1-5: Holding reference counts of reqs and objects on read requests
to avoid malicious restore leading to use-after-free.
Patch 6-10: Add some consistency checks to copen/cread/get_fd to avoid
malicious copen/cread/close fd injections causing use-after-free or hung.
Patch 11: When cache is marked as CACHEFILES_DEAD, flush all requests,
otherwise the kernel may be hung. since this state is irreversible, the
daemon can read open requests but cannot copen.
Patch 12: Allow interrupting a read request being processed by killing
the read process as a way of avoiding hung in some special cases.

Replacing wait_for_completion() with wait_for_completion_killable() in
cachefiles_ondemand_send_req() allows us to kill processes that might
trigger a hunk_task if the daemon is abnormal.
But now only CACHEFILES_OP_READ is killable, because OP_CLOSE and OP_OPEN
is initiated from kworker context and the signal is prohibited in these
kworker.
Note that when the req in xas changes, i.e. xas_load(&xas) != req, it
means that a process will complete the current request soon, so wait
again for the request to be completed.
In addition, add the cachefiles_ondemand_finish_req() helper function to
simplify the code.

In ondemand mode, when the daemon is processing an open request, if the
kernel flags the cache as CACHEFILES_DEAD, the cachefiles_daemon_write()
will always return -EIO, so the daemon can't pass the copen to the kernel.
Then the kernel process that is waiting for the copen triggers a hung_task.
Since the DEAD state is irreversible, it can only be exited by closing
/dev/cachefiles. Therefore, after calling cachefiles_io_error() to mark
the cache as CACHEFILES_DEAD, if in ondemand mode, flush all requests to
avoid the above hungtask. We may still be able to read some of the cached
data before closing the fd of /dev/cachefiles.
Note that this relies on the patch that adds reference counting to the req,
otherwise it may UAF.

If copen is maliciously called in the user mode, it may delete the request
corresponding to the random id. And the request may have not been read yet.
Note that when the object is set to reopen, the open request will be done
with the still reopen state in above case. As a result, the request
corresponding to this object is always skipped in select_req function, so
the read request is never completed and blocks other process.
Fix this issue by simply set object to close if its id < 0 in copen.

After installing the anonymous fd, we can now see it in userland and close
it. However, at this point we may not have gotten the reference count of
the cache, but we will put it during colse fd, so this may cause a cache
UAF.
So grab the cache reference count before fd_install(). In addition, by
kernel convention, fd is taken over by the user land after fd_install(),
and the kernel should not call close_fd() after that, i.e., it should call
fd_install() after everything is ready, thus fd_install() is called after
copy_to_user() succeeds.

Now every time the daemon reads an open request, it gets a new anonymous fd
and ondemand_id. With the introduction of "restore", it is possible to read
the same open request more than once, and therefore an object can have more
than one anonymous fd.
If the anonymous fd is not unique, the following concurrencies will result
in an fd leak:
t1 | t2 | t3
------------------------------------------------------------
cachefiles_ondemand_init_object
cachefiles_ondemand_send_req
REQ_A = kzalloc(sizeof(*req) + data_len)
wait_for_completion(&REQ_A->done)
cachefiles_daemon_read
cachefiles_ondemand_daemon_read
REQ_A = cachefiles_ondemand_select_req
cachefiles_ondemand_get_fd
load->fd = fd0
ondemand_id = object_id0
------ restore ------
cachefiles_ondemand_restore
// restore REQ_A
cachefiles_daemon_read
cachefiles_ondemand_daemon_read
REQ_A = cachefiles_ondemand_select_req
cachefiles_ondemand_get_fd
load->fd = fd1
ondemand_id = object_id1
process_open_req(REQ_A)
write(devfd, ("copen %u,%llu", msg->msg_id, size))
cachefiles_ondemand_copen
xa_erase(&cache->reqs, id)
complete(&REQ_A->done)
kfree(REQ_A)
process_open_req(REQ_A)
// copen fails due to no req
// daemon close(fd1)
cachefiles_ondemand_fd_release
// set object closed
-- umount --
cachefiles_withdraw_cookie
cachefiles_ondemand_clean_object
cachefiles_ondemand_init_close_req
if (!cachefiles_ondemand_object_is_open(object))
return -ENOENT;
// The fd0 is not closed until the daemon exits.
However, the anonymous fd holds the reference count of the object and the
object holds the reference count of the cookie. So even though the cookie
has been relinquished, it will not be unhashed and freed until the daemon
exits.
In fscache_hash_cookie(), when the same cookie is found in the hash list,
if the cookie is set with the FSCACHE_COOKIE_RELINQUISHED bit, then the new
cookie waits for the old cookie to be unhashed, while the old cookie is
waiting for the leaked fd to be closed, if the daemon does not exit in time
it will trigger a hung task.
To avoid this, allocate a new anonymous fd only if no anonymous fd has
been allocated (ondemand_id == 0) or if the previously allocated anonymous
fd has been closed (ondemand_id == -1). Moreover, returns an error if
ondemand_id is valid, letting the daemon know that the current userland
restore logic is abnormal and needs to be checked.

This prevents malicious processes from completing random copen/cread
requests and crashing the system. Added checks are listed below:
* Generic, copen can only complete open requests, and cread can only
complete read requests.
* For copen, ondemand_id must not be 0, because this indicates that the
request has not been read by the daemon.
* For cread, the object corresponding to fd and req should be the same.

This issue is caused by issuing a restore command when the daemon is still
alive, which results in a request being processed multiple times thus
triggering a UAF. So to avoid this problem, add an additional reference
count to cachefiles_req, which is held while waiting and reading, and then
released when the waiting and reading is over.
Note that since there is only one reference count for waiting, we need to
avoid the same request being completed multiple times, so we can only
complete the request if it is successfully removed from the xarray.

Pull netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This extends the netfs helper library that network filesystems can use
to replace their own implementations. Both afs and 9p are ported. cifs
is ready as well but the patches are way bigger and will be routed
separately once this is merged. That will remove lots of code as well.
The overal goal is to get high-level I/O and knowledge of the page
cache and ouf of the filesystem drivers. This includes knowledge about
the existence of pages and folios
The pull request converts afs and 9p. This removes about 800 lines of
code from afs and 300 from 9p. For 9p it is now possible to do writes
in larger than a page chunks. Additionally, multipage folio support
can be turned on for 9p. Separate patches exist for cifs removing
another 2000+ lines. I've included detailed information in the
individual pulls I took.
Summary:
- Add NFS-style (and Ceph-style) locking around DIO vs buffered I/O
calls to prevent these from happening at the same time.
- Support for direct and unbuffered I/O.
- Support for write-through caching in the page cache.
- O_*SYNC and RWF_*SYNC writes use write-through rather than writing
to the page cache and then flushing afterwards.
- Support for write-streaming.
- Support for write grouping.
- Skip reads for which the server could only return zeros or EOF.
- The fscache module is now part of the netfs library and the
corresponding maintainer entry is updated.
- Some helpers from the fscache subsystem are renamed to mark them as
belonging to the netfs library.

To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a size
penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the sentinel, the
final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados has been doing all this
work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
support this. For v6.7 we had all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove
the sentinel. For v6.8-rc1 we get a few more updates for fs/ directory only.
The kernel/ directory is left but we'll save that for v6.9-rc1 as those patches
are still being reviewed. After that we then can expect also the removal of the
no longer needed check for procname == NULL.
Let us recap the purpose of this work:
- this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
- the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move sysctls
out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
Thomas Weißschuh also sent a few cleanups, for v6.9-rc1 we expect to see further
work by Thomas Weißschuh with the constificatin of the struct ctl_table.
Due to Joel Granados's work, and to help bring in new blood, I have suggested
for him to become a maintainer and he's accepted. So for v6.9-rc1 I look forward
to seeing him sent you a pull request for further sysctl changes. This also
removes Iurii Zaikin as a maintainer as he has moved on to other projects and
has had no time to help at all.

In __cachefiles_prepare_write(), the start and pos variables were made
unsigned 64-bit so that the casts in the checking could be got rid of -
which should be fine since absolute file offsets can't be negative, except
that an error code may be obtained from vfs_llseek(), which *would* be
negative. This breaks the error check.
Fix this for now by reverting pos and start to be signed and putting back
the casts. Unfortunately, the error value checks cannot be replaced with
IS_ERR_VALUE() as long might be 32-bits.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.8.cachefiles' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs cachefiles updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains improvements for on-demand cachefiles.
If the daemon crashes and the on-demand cachefiles fd is unexpectedly
closed in-flight requests and subsequent read operations associated
with the fd will fail with EIO. This causes issues in various
scenarios as this failure is currently unrecoverable.
The work contained in this pull request introduces a failover mode and
enables the daemon to recover in-flight requested-related objects. A
restarted daemon will be able to process requests as usual.
This requires that in-flight requests are stored during daemon crash
or while the daemon is offline. In addition, a handle to
/dev/cachefiles needs to be stored.
This can be done by e.g., systemd's fdstore (cf. [1]) which enables
the restarted daemon to recover state.
Three new states are introduced in this patchset:
(1) CLOSE
Object is closed by the daemon.
(2) OPEN
Object is open and ready for processing. IOW, the open request
has been handled successfully.
(3) REOPENING
Object has been previously closed and is now reopened due to a
read request.
A restarted daemon can recover the /dev/cachefiles fd from systemd's
fdstore and writes "restore" to the device. This causes the object
state to be reset from CLOSE to REOPENING and reinitializes the
object.
The daemon may now handle the open request. Any in-flight operations
are restored and handled avoiding interruptions for users"
Link: https://systemd.io/FILE_DESCRIPTOR_STORE [1]
* tag 'vfs-6.8.cachefiles' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
cachefiles: add restore command to recover inflight ondemand read requests
cachefiles: narrow the scope of triggering EPOLLIN events in ondemand mode
cachefiles: resend an open request if the read request's object is closed
cachefiles: extract ondemand info field from cachefiles_object
cachefiles: introduce object ondemand state
An issue can occur between write-streaming (storing dirty data in partial
non-uptodate pages) and a cachefiles object being culled to make space.
The problem occurs because the cache object is only marked in use while
there are files open using it. Once it has been released, it can be culled
and the cookie marked disabled.
At this point, a streaming write is permitted to occur (if the cache is
active, we require pages to be prefetched and cached), but the cache can
become active again before this gets flushed out - and then two effects can
occur:
(1) The cache may be asked to write out a region that's less than its DIO
block size (assumed by cachefiles to be PAGE_SIZE) - and this causes
one of two debugging statements to be emitted.
(2) netfs_how_to_modify() gets confused because it sees a page that isn't
allowed to be non-uptodate being uptodate and tries to prefetch it -
leading to a warning that PG_fscache is set twice.
Fix this by the following means:
(1) Add a netfs_inode flag to disallow write-streaming to an inode and set
it if we ever do local caching of that inode. It remains set for the
lifetime of that inode - even if the cookie becomes disabled.
(2) If the no-write-streaming flag is set, then make netfs_how_to_modify()
always want to prefetch instead.
(3) If netfs_how_to_modify() decides it wants to prefetch a folio, but
that folio has write-streamed data in it, then it requires the folio
be flushed first.
(4) Export a counter of the number of times we wanted to prefetch a
non-uptodate page, but found it had write-streamed data in it.
(5) Export a counter of the number of times we cancelled a write to the
cache because it didn't DIO align and remove the debug statements.

Make netfslib pass the maximum length to the ->prepare_write() op to tell
the cache how much it can expand the length of a write to. This allows a
write to the server at the end of a file to be limited to a few bytes
whilst writing an entire block to the cache (something required by direct
I/O).

Previously, in ondemand read scenario, if the anonymous fd was closed by
user daemon, inflight and subsequent read requests would return EIO.
As long as the device connection is not released, user daemon can hold
and restore inflight requests by setting the request flag to

When an anonymous fd is closed by user daemon, if there is a new read
request for this file comes up, the anonymous fd should be re-opened
to handle that read request rather than fail it directly.
1. Introduce reopening state for objects that are closed but have
inflight/subsequent read requests.
2. No longer flush READ requests but only CLOSE requests when anonymous
fd is closed.
3. Enqueue the reopen work to workqueue, thus user daemon could get rid
of daemon_read context and handle that request smoothly. Otherwise,
the user daemon will send a reopen request and wait for itself to
process the request.
