Subject: [PATCH 0/8]: blk-mq: use static_rqs to iterate busy tags

Hi Jens

As we know, there is a risk of accesing stale requests when iterate
in-flight requests with tags->rqs[] and this has been talked in following
thread,
[1] https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=154511693912752&w=2
[2] https://marc.info/?l=linux-block&m=154526189023236&w=2

A typical sence could be
blk_mq_get_request blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter
-> blk_mq_get_tag
-> bt_for_each
-> bt_iter
-> rq = taags->rqs[]
-> rq->q
-> blk_mq_rq_ctx_init
-> data->hctx->tags->rqs[rq->tag] = rq;

The root cause is that there is a window between set bit on tag sbitmap
and set tags->rqs[].

This patch would fix this issue by iterating requests with tags->static_rqs[]
instead of tags->rqs[] which would be changed dynamically. Moreover,
we will try to get a non-zero q_usage_counter before access hctxs and tags and
thus could avoid the race with updating nr_hw_queues, switching io scheduler
and even queue clean up which are all under a frozen and drained queue.

The 1st patch get rid of the useless of synchronize_rcu in __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues

The 2nd patch modify the blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter to use tags->static_rqs[]
instead of tags->rqs[] to iterate the busy tags.

The 3rd ~ 7th patch change the blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter to blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter
which is safer

The 8th patch get rid of the blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter.

Subject: [PATCH 2/8] blk-mq: change the method of iterating busy tags of a request_queue

tags->rqs[] will not been cleaned when free driver tag and there
is a window between get driver tag and write tags->rqs[], so we
may see stale rq in tags->rqs[] which may have been freed, as
following case,
blk_mq_get_request blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter
-> blk_mq_get_tag
-> bt_for_each
-> bt_iter
-> rq = taags->rqs[]
-> rq->q
-> blk_mq_rq_ctx_init
-> data->hctx->tags->rqs[rq->tag] = rq;

To fix this, the blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter is changed in this
patch to use tags->static_rqs[] instead of tags->rqs[]. We have
to identify whether there is a io scheduler attached to decide
to use hctx->tags or hctx->sched_tags. And we will try to get a
non-zero q_usage_counter before that, so it is safe to access
them. Add 'inflight' parameter to determine to iterate in-flight
requests or just busy tags. A correction here is that
part_in_flight should count the busy tags instead of rqs that
have got driver tags.

Moreover, get rid of the 'hctx' parameter in iter function as
we could get it from rq->mq_hctx and export this interface for
drivers.

Subject: [PATCH 1/8] blk-mq: get rid of the synchronize_rcu in __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues

In commit 530ca2c (blk-mq: Allow blocking queue tag iter callbacks),
we try to get a non-zero q_usage_counter to avoid access hctxs that
being modified. So the synchronize_rcu is useless and should be
removed.

Subject: [PATCH 7/8] nvme: use blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter

blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter is not safe that it could get stale request
in tags->rqs[]. Use blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter here. A new helper
interface nvme_iterate_inflight_rqs is introduced to iterate
all of the ns under a ctrl.

I'd rather take one step back and figure out why we are iterating
the busy requests. There really shouldn't be any reason why a driver
is even doings that (vs some error handling helpers in the core
block code that can properly synchronize).

A typical scene is blk_mq_in_flight,

blk_mq_get_request blk_mq_in_flight
-> blk_mq_get_tag -> blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter
-> bt_for_each
-> bt_iter
-> rq = taags->rqs[]
-> rq->q //---> get a stale request
-> blk_mq_rq_ctx_init
-> data->hctx->tags->rqs[rq->tag] = rq

This stale request maybe something that has been freed due to io scheduler
is detached or a q using a shared tagset is gone.

And also the blk_mq_timeout_work could use it to pick up the expired request.
The driver would also use it to requeue the in-flight requests when the device is dead.

Compared with adding more synchronization, using static_rqs[] directly maybe simpler :)

Thanks

I use it in NBD to error out any pending requests for forced disconnects. I'd
be happy to use some other blessed interface, I'm not married to this one.

There is still a window where the check may succeed, but the request is
being assigned to a completely different request_queue. The callback
then operates on a request it doesn't own.

Tag iteration from a driver can be safe only if the driver initiates a
freeze and quiesced all queues sharing the same tagset first. The nvme
driver does that, but I think there may need to be an additional grace
period to wait for the allocation's queue_enter to call queue_exit to
ensure the request is initialized through blk_mq_rq_ctx_init().

Hi Jianchao,

Although I appreciate your work: I agree with Christoph that we should avoid races
like this rather than modifying the block layer to make sure that such races are
handled safely.

Thanks,

Hmm... so this aborts ios for namespaces. How about ios that aren't for
a namespace but rather for the controller itself. For example, anything
on the admin queue ? Rather critical for those ios be terminated as well.

NVM - didn't look at which tag set.  but it does highlight - doesn't
cover anything issued by core/transport on the io queues.

Actually, I would consider that an error.
_All_ commands on io queues (internal or block-layer generated) whould
be tracked sbitmap and hence the tag iterator.
That's what we have the 'private' tags for, and why the iter callback
has this ominous 'bool' argument...

The situation above is only related with 'none' io scheduler.

However, this patch doesn't change behavior for none given .rq[tag] is same with
.static_rq[tag], so I guess your concern may not be related with this patch.

blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter() is used by blk-mq core code only for
io accounting or timeout on the specified request_queue, and NVMe's
uses are actually over the whole driver tags.

This patch is to avoid the use-after-free case in the comment.
The helper interface is used in following cases,
1. in flight request account
this case should not require so much accuracy

2. timeout check
a extra reference will be held there to avoid the request recycle

3. if it is used by driver, it should be enough that quiesce the request_queue
the driver usually wants to handle the in-flight ones, quiesce request_queue
could ensure all of tasks quit the hctx_lock and no one issue request any
more.

The root cause here is that there is window between set tag sbitmap and set tags->rqs[]
, and we don't clear the tags->rqs[] in free tags path. So when we iterate the busy
tags, we could see stale requests in tags->rqs[] and this stale requests maybe freed.

Looks like it is difficult to close the window above, so we used to try to clear the
tags->rqs[] in two ways,

1. clear the tags->rqs[] in the request free path
Jens doesn't like it
https://marc.info/?l=linux-block&m=154515671524877&w=2
"
It's an extra store, and it's a store to an area that's then now shared
between issue and completion. Those are never a good idea. Besides, it's
the kind of issue you solve in the SLOW path, not in the fast path. Since
that's doable, it would be silly to do it for every IO.
"

2. clear the associated slots in tags->tags[] when blk_mq_free_rqs
https://marc.info/?l=linux-block&m=154534605914798&w=2

+ rcu_read_lock();
sbitmap_for_each_set(&bt->sb, bt_iter, &iter_data);
+ rcu_read_unlock();

The busy_iter_fn could sleep
blk_mq_check_expired
-> blk_mq_rq_timed_out
-> q->mq_ops->timeout
nvme_timeout
-> nvme_dev_disable
-> mutex_lock dev->shutdown_lock

Since it is not so flexible to fix on tags->rqs[], why not try to use tags->static_rqs[] ?
Then we wound never care about the stable requests any more.

The blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter which is currently used by nvme is iterating the in-flight ios for the controller.
But due to blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter is not safe which is talked in the patch 0/8,
so change it to blk_mq_queue_busy_tag_iter which is for a namespace/request_queue.

Right, it's not new, but queue iteration wasn't exported for drivers
before this.

Hi Jianchao,

The nbd driver calls nbd+AF8-clear+AF8-que() after having called sock+AF8-shutdown(). So
what makes you think that it's not safe to call blk+AF8-mq+AF8-tagset+AF8-busy+AF8-iter()
from nbd+AF8-clear+AF8-que()?

Thanks,

Hi Jianchao,

That is a reference to the +ACI-BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in bt+AF8-iter+ACI issue.
I think that issue can be fixed in another way than modifying all code that
iterates over tags, namely by adding an rcu+AF8-read+AF8-lock() / rcu+AF8-read+AF8-unlock()
pair in bt+AF8-for+AF8-each() and bt+AF8-tags+AF8-for+AF8-each() and by changing the calls in
blk+AF8-mq+AF8-free+AF8-rqs() and blk+AF8-free+AF8-flush+AF8-queue() that free the data structures
used by the tag iteration functions into kfree+AF8-rcu() or call+AF8-rcu() calls.

Subject: Re: [PATCH 6/8] skd: use blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter

Hi Bart

Thanks so much for you comment for this.

After make blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter safer in patch 2, the patches that
replace blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter with blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter in drivers
are efforts to unify the tag iterate interface and finally we could remove
the blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter which is not safe.

The blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter will try to get a non-zero q_usage_counter
of a request_queue before it try to access the tags, so it could avoid the
race with the procedures that need to freeze and drain the queue, such as
update nr_hw_queues, switch io scheduler and even queue clean up. And also
it iterate the static_rqs and needn't to worry about the stale requests issue.
So it is a safer interface. Although for shared tagset case, the driver
need to loop every request_queue itself with blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter,
but all of the work is in error handler path, so it should not be a big deal.


Thanks
Jianchao

The request_queue is not frozen, so there still could be someone enters and get
request. If no io scheduler attached, the driver tag could be allocated and
tags->rqs[] would be set. During this, blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter could get some stale
requests in tags->rqs[] which maybe freed due to switching io scheduler to none.

Nonesense. Block timeout handling runs in a work queue precicesly so
handlers can actually do useful work in line with the notification.

I have to agree with Keith on this one, there is absolutely no reason to
force this constraint on the error handler. If we want to teardown stuff
to guarantee that we can free the request safely we may very well need
to block on queue flushing.

IMO, instead of this parameter, add a wrapper like
blk_mq_queue_tag_inflight_iter() or keep the parameter out until
we actually have a user that calls it for busy and not inflight.

Other than that, I think that iterating over static_rqs is a good
solution to the problem described.

Using a wrapper instead of exporting the parameter to user is indeed better.
I will change it in next version.

When the 'inflight' parameter is true, we iterate the inflight requests,
otherwise, we iterate the all the busy requests no matter they are in-flight
or not. The latter would be useful for part_in_flight. Currently, we only
account the requests with driver tags, it is inconsistent for the io-scheduler
and non-io-scheduler case.
