* dm snapshot: track suspended state in targetMike Snitzer2009-12-101-1/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Keep track of whether or not the device is suspended within the snapshot target module, the same as we do in dm-raid1. We will use this later to enforce the correct sequence of ioctls to transfer the in-core exceptions from a snapshot target instance in one table to a replacement one capable of merging them back into the origin.

* dm snapshot: move cow ref from exception store to snap coreMike Snitzer2009-12-101-25/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Store the reference to the snapshot cow device in the core snapshot code instead of each exception store. It can be accessed through the new function dm_snap_cow(). Exception stores should each now maintain a reference to their parent snapshot struct. This is cleaner and makes part of the forthcoming snapshot merge code simpler.

* dm snapshot: cope with chunk size larger than originMikulas Patocka2009-12-101-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Under some special conditions the snapshot hash_size is calculated as zero. This patch instead sets a minimum value of 64, the same as for the pending exception table. rounddown_pow_of_two(0) is an undefined operation (it expands to shift by -1). init_exception_table with an argument of 0 would fail with -ENOMEM. The way to trigger the problem is to create a snapshot with a chunk size that is larger than the origin device.

Commit 4c6fff445d7aa753957856278d4d93bcad6e2c14 (dm-snapshot-lock-snapshot-while-supplying-status.patch) introduced this use of the lock, but userspace applications using libdevmapper have been found to request STATUSTYPE_TABLE while the device is suspended and the lock is already held, leading to deadlock.

* dm snapshot: sort by chunk size to fix raceMikulas Patocka2009-10-161-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Avoid a race causing corruption when snapshots of the same origin have different chunk sizes by sorting the internal list of snapshots by chunk size, largest first. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=182659 For example, let's have two snapshots with different chunk sizes. The first snapshot (1) has small chunk size and the second snapshot (2) has large chunk size. Let's have chunks A, B, C in these snapshots: snapshot1: ====A==== ====B==== snapshot2: ==========C========== (Chunk size is a power of 2. Chunks are aligned.) A write to the origin at a position within A and C comes along. It triggers reallocation of A, then reallocation of C and links them together using A as the 'primary' exception. Then another write to the origin comes along at a position within B and C. It creates pending exception for B. C already has a reallocation in progress and it already has a primary exception (A), so nothing is done to it: B and C are not linked. If the reallocation of B finishes before the reallocation of C, because there is no link with the pending exception for C it does not know to wait for it and, the second write is dispatched to the origin and causes data corruption in the chunk C in snapshot2. To avoid this situation, we maintain snapshots sorted in descending order of chunk size. This leads to a guaranteed ordering on the links between the pending exceptions and avoids the problem explained above - both A and B now get linked to C.

* dm snapshot: avoid having two exceptions for the same chunkMikulas Patocka2009-04-021-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to check if the exception was completed after dropping the lock. After regaining the lock, __find_pending_exception checks if the exception was already placed into &s->pending hash. But we don't check if the exception was already completed and placed into &s->complete hash. If the process waiting in alloc_pending_exception was delayed at this point because of a scheduling latency and the exception was meanwhile completed, we'd miss that and allocate another pending exception for already completed chunk. It would lead to a situation where two records for the same chunk exist and potential data corruption because multiple snapshot I/Os to the affected chunk could be redirected to different locations in the snapshot.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there are several snapshots sharing an origin and one is removed while the origin is being written to, the snapshot's mempool may get deleted while elements are still referenced. Prior to dm-snapshot-use-per-device-mempools.patch the pending exceptions may still have been referenced after the snapshot was destroyed, but this was not a problem because the shared mempool was still there. This patch fixes the problem by tracking the number of mempool elements in use. The scenario: - You have an origin and two snapshots 1 and 2. - Someone writes to the origin. - It creates two exceptions in the snapshots, snapshot 1 will be primary exception, snapshot 2's pending_exception->primary_pe will point to the exception in snapshot 1. - The exceptions are being relocated, relocation of exception 1 finishes (but it's pending_exception is still allocated, because it is referenced by an exception from snapshot 2) - The user lvremoves snapshot 1 --- it calls just suspend (does nothing) and destructor. md->pending is zero (there is no I/O submitted to the snapshot by md layer), so it won't help us. - The destructor waits for kcopyd jobs to finish on snapshot 1 --- but there are none. - The destructor on snapshot 1 cleans up everything. - The relocation of exception on snapshot 2 finishes, it drops reference on primary_pe. This frees its primary_pe pointer. Primary_pe points to pending exception created for snapshot 1. So it frees memory into non-existing mempool.

This opens the following race condition: Assume two CPUs, CPU1 is executing put_pending_exception (and holding dm_snapshot->lock). CPU2 is executing __origin_write in parallel. primary_pe->ref_count == 2. CPU1: if (primary_pe && atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count)) origin_bios = bio_list_get(&primary_pe->origin_bios); ... decrements primary_pe->ref_count to 1. Doesn't load origin_bios CPU2: if (first && atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count)) { flush_bios(bio_list_get(&primary_pe->origin_bios)); free_pending_exception(primary_pe); /* If we got here, pe_queue is necessarily empty. */ return r; } ... decrements primary_pe->ref_count to 0, submits pending bios, frees primary_pe. CPU1: if (!primary_pe || primary_pe != pe) free_pending_exception(pe); ... this has no effect. if (primary_pe && !atomic_read(&primary_pe->ref_count)) free_pending_exception(primary_pe); ... sees ref_count == 0 (written by CPU 2), does double free !! This bug can happen only if someone is simultaneously writing to both the origin and the snapshot. If someone is writing only to the origin, __origin_write will submit kcopyd request after it decrements primary_pe->ref_count (so it can't happen that the finished copy races with primary_pe->ref_count decrementation). If someone is writing only to the snapshot, __origin_write isn't invoked at all and the race can't happen. The race happens when someone writes to the snapshot --- this creates pending_exception with primary_pe == NULL and starts copying. Then, someone writes to the same chunk in the snapshot, and __origin_write races with termination of already submitted request in pending_complete (that calls put_pending_exception). This race may be reason for bugs: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11636 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465825 The patch fixes the code to make sure that: 1. If atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count) returns false, the process must no longer dereference primary_pe (because someone else may free it under us). 2. If atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count) returns true, the process is responsible for freeing primary_pe.
