Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix use-after-free in ext4_mb_new_blocks
Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2013 15:55:35 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1384991735-18118-1-git-send-email-jayr@google.com> (raw)

ext4_mb_put_pa should hold pa->pa_lock before accessing pa->pa_count.
While ext4_mb_use_preallocated checks pa->pa_deleted first and then
increments pa->count later, ext4_mb_put_pa decrements pa->pa_count
before holding pa->pa_lock and then sets pa->pa_deleted.

* Free sequence
ext4_mb_put_pa (1):		atomic_dec_and_test pa->pa_count
ext4_mb_put_pa (2):		lock pa->pa_lock
ext4_mb_put_pa (3):			check pa->pa_deleted
ext4_mb_put_pa (4):			set pa->pa_deleted=1
ext4_mb_put_pa (5):		unlock pa->pa_lock
ext4_mb_put_pa (6):		remove pa from a list
ext4_mb_pa_callback:		free pa

* Use sequence
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (1):	iterate over preallocation
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (2):	lock pa->pa_lock
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (3):		check pa->pa_deleted
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (4):		increase pa->pa_count
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (5):	unlock pa->pa_lock
ext4_mb_release_context:	access pa

* Use-after-free sequence
[initial status]		<pa->pa_deleted = 0, pa_count = 1>
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (1):	iterate over preallocation
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (2):	lock pa->pa_lock
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (3):		check pa->pa_deleted
ext4_mb_put_pa (1):		atomic_dec_and_test pa->pa_count
[pa_count decremented]		<pa->pa_deleted = 0, pa_count = 0>
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (4):		increase pa->pa_count
[pa_count incremented]		<pa->pa_deleted = 0, pa_count = 1>
ext4_mb_use_preallocated (5):	unlock pa->pa_lock
ext4_mb_put_pa (2):		lock pa->pa_lock
ext4_mb_put_pa (3):			check pa->pa_deleted
ext4_mb_put_pa (4):			set pa->pa_deleted=1
[race condition!]		<pa->pa_deleted = 1, pa_count = 1>
ext4_mb_put_pa (5):		unlock pa->pa_lock
ext4_mb_put_pa (6):		remove pa from a list
ext4_mb_pa_callback:		free pa
ext4_mb_release_context:	access pa
