    xfs: fix use-after-free race in xfs_buf_rele · ac911480

    commit 37fd1678245f7a5898c1b05128bc481fb403c290 upstream.
    
    When looking at a 4.18 based KASAN use after free report, I noticed
    that racing xfs_buf_rele() may race on dropping the last reference
    to the buffer and taking the buffer lock. This was the symptom
    displayed by the KASAN report, but the actual issue that was
    reported had already been fixed in 4.19-rc1 by commit e339dd8d
    ("xfs: use sync buffer I/O for sync delwri queue submission").
    
    Despite this, I think there is still an issue with xfs_buf_rele()
    in this code:
    
            release = atomic_dec_and_lock(&bp->b_hold, &pag->pag_buf_lock);
            spin_lock(&bp->b_lock);
            if (!release) {
    .....
    
    If two threads race on the b_lock after both dropping a reference
    and one getting dropping the last reference so release = true, we
    end up with:
    
    CPU 0				CPU 1
    atomic_dec_and_lock()
    				atomic_dec_and_lock()
    				spin_lock(&bp->b_lock)
    spin_lock(&bp->b_lock)
    <spins>
    				<release = true bp->b_lru_ref = 0>
    				<remove from lists>
    				freebuf = true
    				spin_unlock(&bp->b_lock)
    				xfs_buf_free(bp)
    <gets lock, reading and writing freed memory>
    <accesses freed memory>
    spin_unlock(&bp->b_lock) <reads/writes freed memory>
    
    IOWs, we can't safely take bp->b_lock after dropping the hold
    reference because the buffer may go away at any time after we
    drop that reference. However, this can be fixed simply by taking the
    bp->b_lock before we drop the reference.
    
    It is safe to nest the pag_buf_lock inside bp->b_lock as the
    pag_buf_lock is only used to serialise against lookup in
    xfs_buf_find() and no other locks are held over or under the
    pag_buf_lock there. Make this clear by documenting the buffer lock
    orders at the top of the file.
