[BUG] There is a bug report of NULL pointer dereference caused in compress_file_extent():
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Hash SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries Workqueue: btrfs-delalloc btrfs_delalloc_helper [btrfs] NIP [c008000006dd4d34] compress_file_range.constprop.41+0x75c/0x8a0 [btrfs] LR [c008000006dd4d1c] compress_file_range.constprop.41+0x744/0x8a0 [btrfs] Call Trace: [c000000c69093b00] [c008000006dd4d1c] compress_file_range.constprop.41+0x744/0x8a0 [btrfs] (unreliable) [c000000c69093bd0] [c008000006dd4ebc] async_cow_start+0x44/0xa0 [btrfs] [c000000c69093c10] [c008000006e14824] normal_work_helper+0xdc/0x598 [btrfs] [c000000c69093c80] [c0000000001608c0] process_one_work+0x2c0/0x5b0 [c000000c69093d10] [c000000000160c38] worker_thread+0x88/0x660 [c000000c69093db0] [c00000000016b55c] kthread+0x1ac/0x1c0 [c000000c69093e20] [c00000000000b660] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x7c ---[ end trace f16954aa20d822f6 ]---
[CAUSE] For the following execution route of compress_file_range(), it's possible to hit NULL pointer dereference:
compress_file_extent() |- pages = NULL; |- start = async_chunk->start = 0; |- end = async_chunk = 4095; |- nr_pages = 1; |- inode_need_compress() == false; <<< Possible, see later explanation | Now, we have nr_pages = 1, pages = NULL |- cont: |- ret = cow_file_range_inline(); |- if (ret <= 0) { |- for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++) { |- WARN_ON(pages[i]->mapping); <<< Crash
To enter above call execution branch, we need the following race:
Thread 1 (chattr) | Thread 2 (writeback) --------------------------+------------------------------ | btrfs_run_delalloc_range | |- inode_need_compress = true | |- cow_file_range_async() btrfs_ioctl_set_flag() | |- binode_flags |= | BTRFS_INODE_NOCOMPRESS | | compress_file_range() | |- inode_need_compress = false | |- nr_page = 1 while pages = NULL | | Then hit the crash
[FIX] This patch will fix it by checking @pages before doing accessing it. This patch is only designed as a hot fix and easy to backport.
More elegant fix may make btrfs only check inode_need_compress() once to avoid such race, but that would be another story.
