Subject: [PATCH v5 0/3] Fix the failure of adding phy with zero-address to port


This series is to solve the problem of a BUG() when adding phy with zero
address to a new port.

v4 -> v5
1. Add new helper sas_port_add_ex_phy() based on John's suggestion.
2. Move sas_add_parent_port() to sas_expander.c based on John's suggestion.
3. Update the comments.

v3 -> v4:
1. Update patch title and comments based on John's suggestion.

v2 -> v3:
1. Set ex_dev->parent_port to NULL when the number of PHYs of the parent
port becomes 0.
2. Update the comments.

v1 -> v2:
1. Set ex_phy->port with parent_port when ex_phy is added to the parent
port.
2. Set ex_phy to NULL when free expander.
3. Update the comments.

What causes this problem:
1. For phy19, when the phy is attached and added to the parent wide port,
the path is:
sas_rediscover()
->sas_discover_new()
->sas_ex_discover_devices()
->sas_ex_discover_dev()
-> sas_add_parent_port()

ex_phy->port was not set and when it is removed from parent wide port the
path is:
sas_rediscover()
->sas_unregister_devs_sas_addr()

Then the sas address of phy19 becomes 0, and since ex_phy->port is NULL,
phy19 was not removed from the parent wide port's phy_list.

2. For phy0, it is connected to a new sata device and the path is:
sas_rediscover()
->sas_discover_new()->sas_ex_phy_discover()
->sas_ex_phy_discover_helper()
->sas_set_ex_phy()
->sas_ex_discover_devices()
->sas_ex_discover_dev()
->sas_ex_discover_end_dev()
->sas_port_alloc() // Create port-7:7:0
->sas_ex_get_linkrate()
->sas_port_add_phy()

The type of the newly connected device is stp, but the linkrate is 5 which
less than 1.5G, then the sas address is set to 0 in sas_set_ex_phy().
Subsequently, a new port port-7:7:0 was created and tried to add phy19 with
the same zero-address to this new port. However, phy19 still belongs to
another port, then a BUG() was triggered in sas_ex_get_linkrate().

Fix the problem as follows:
1. Use sas_port_add_ex_phy() instead of sas_port_add_phy() when ex_phy is
added to the parent port.

2. Set ex_dev->parent_port to NULL when the number of phy on the port
becomes 0.

3. When phy->attached_dev_type != NO_DEVICE, do not set the zero address
for phy->attached_sas_addr.

Please use code from latest kernel. This again seems to be the old
comment format.

> [562240.051197] sas: ex 500e004aaaaaaa1f phy19:U:0 attached: 0000000000000000 (no device)

The log at 562240.051046 tells that phy19 formed a wideport with phy16,
but then here we see that phy19 has attached SAS address 0. How did we
form a wideport with a phy with sas address 0? Sorry if I asked this
before, but I looked through the thread and it is not clear.

Sorry, but that is not a callpath. Maybe you condensed it. Please expand it.

I don't understand why we do anything when in this state. linkrate == 5
means phy reset in progress. Can we just bail out until the SATA phy is
in a decent shape? I assume that when the SATA phy is in "up" state that
we get a broadcast event and can re-evaluate.

this seems ok

Please pay attention to this comment. It seems that some expanders
require us to explicitly zero the SAS address.

This does not feel like the right place to do this. So the port which we
queue to free is the ex_dev->parent_port, right?

BTW, do you know why it's called ex_dev->parent_port and not
ex_dev->port? I find the name parent_port confusing...

Ok, the early address of phy19 is not 0, and forms a wide port with
phy16. But now phy19 has been unregistered and the sas address of phy19
is set to 0.

You are saying that we use a method similar to SAS_SATA_SPINUP_HOLD?

Yes, we have reviewed this point, and its modification is for some
expanders to report that the sas address isn't zero in the "no device"
case. The current modification does not affect its original problem fix,
we just removed its linkrate judgment.

Yes, we found that if ex_dev->parent_port is not set to NULL, after the
port is released, if there is a new ex_phy connection, use-after-free
problems will occur. And the current branch is to determine whether the
number of phys on the port is 0. I think it is more appropriate to set
parent_port. Do you have any better suggestions?

It is the port connected to the upper-level device, so named parent_port.

ok, so the old logs are simply misleading: "sas: phy19 part of wide port
with phy16" implies that we have joined phy19 to a wideport with phy16.

Indeed, my change to that vague print is more than 4.5 years old now -
see commit a5b38d3159.

Sorry to say, but that does not fill me full of confidence that the
changes in this series are suitable for a mainline kernel. Please don't
do that. Test against the very recent mainline kernel.

Maybe. Can we simply re-use SAS_SATA_SPINUP_HOLD handling? Is it suitable?

Do you mean really a memory use-after-free, like which KASAN would report?

But isn't this just the sas_port for the expander device attachment to
the host and more closely associated to the expander itself?

This problem will occasionally occur in new versions. I updated a
version and split the patch to make this problem easier to deal with.

From the SAS Protocol Layer - 4 (SPL-4) interpretation of
RESET_IN_PROGRESS, Phy is enabled and the expander phy is performing an
SMP PHY CONTROL function (see 9.4.3.28) phy operation of LINK RESET or
HARD RESET.
This value is returned if the specified phy contained a value of 8h to
Fh in this field when an SMP PHY CONTROL function phy operation of LINK
RESET or HARD RESET phy operation is processed.
Maybe, we should not need to perform operations of LINK RESET.
