[ Upstream commit f70681e9e6066ab7b102e6b46a336a8ed67812ae ]
There is an issue in the kernel:
In tmpfs, when using the "ls" command to list the contents of a directory with a large number of files, glibc performs the getdents call in multiple rounds. If a concurrent unlink occurs between these getdents calls, it may lead to duplicate directory entries in the ls output. One possible reproduction scenario is as follows:
Create 1026 files and execute ls and rm concurrently:
for i in {1..1026}; do echo "This is file $i" > /tmp/dir/file$i done
ls /tmp/dir rm /tmp/dir/file4 ->getdents(file1026-file5) ->unlink(file4)
->getdents(file5,file3,file2,file1)
It is expected that the second getdents call to return file3 through file1, but instead it returns an extra file5.
The root cause of this problem is in the offset_dir_lookup function. It uses mas_find to determine the starting position for the current getdents call. Since mas_find locates the first position that is greater than or equal to mas->index, when file4 is deleted, it ends up returning file5.
It can be fixed by replacing mas_find with mas_find_rev, which finds the first position that is less than or equal to mas->index.
