From: Lukas Czerner Subject: [PATCH v3] ext4: Prevent race while waling extent tree Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2012 09:22:03 +0100 Message-ID: <1352794923-28555-1-git-send-email-lczerner@redhat.com> References: <1352732245-30132-1-git-send-email-lczerner@redhat.com> Cc: tytso@mit.edu, zab@redhat.com, dmonakhov@openvz.org, Lukas Czerner To: linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Received: from mx1.redhat.com ([209.132.183.28]:31511 "EHLO mx1.redhat.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1753496Ab2KMIWQ (ORCPT ); Tue, 13 Nov 2012 03:22:16 -0500 In-Reply-To: <1352732245-30132-1-git-send-email-lczerner@redhat.com> Sender: linux-ext4-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Currently ext4_ext_walk_space() only takes i_data_sem for read when searching for the extent at given block with ext4_ext_find_extent(). Then it drops the lock and the extent tree can be changed at will. However later on we're searching for the 'next' extent, but the extent tree might already have changed, so the information might not be accurate. In fact we can hit BUG_ON(end <= start) if the extent got inserted into the tree after the one we found and before the block we were searching for. This has been reproduced by running xfstests 225 in loop on s390x architecture, but theoretically we could hit this on any other architecture as well, but probably not as often. Fix this by extending the critical section to include ext4_ext_next_allocated_block() as well. It means that if there are any operation going on on the particular inode, the fiemap will return inaccurate data. However this will also fix the concerns about starving writers to the extent tree, because we will put and reacquire the semaphore with every iteration. This will not be particularly fast, but fiemap is not critical operation. However we also need to limit the access to the extent structure to the critical section, because outside of it the content can change. So we remove extent and next block parameters from ext4_ext_fiemap_cb() function and pass just flags instead. Also we have to move path reinitialization inside the critical section.
