Subject: [ 27/28] fuse: postpone end_page_writeback() in fuse_writepage_locked()
Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2013 17:07:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130925000654.871694135@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130925000648.404447782@linuxfoundation.org>

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Maxim Patlasov <MPatlasov@parallels.com>

commit 4a4ac4eba1010ef9a804569058ab29e3450c0315 upstream.

The patch fixes a race between ftruncate(2), mmap-ed write and write(2):

1) An user makes a page dirty via mmap-ed write.
2) The user performs shrinking truncate(2) intended to purge the page.
3) Before fuse_do_setattr calls truncate_pagecache, the page goes to
   writeback. fuse_writepage_locked fills FUSE_WRITE request and releases
   the original page by end_page_writeback.
4) fuse_do_setattr() completes and successfully returns. Since now, i_mutex
   is free.
5) Ordinary write(2) extends i_size back to cover the page. Note that
   fuse_send_write_pages do wait for fuse writeback, but for another
   page->index.
6) fuse_writepage_locked proceeds by queueing FUSE_WRITE request.
   fuse_send_writepage is supposed to crop inarg->size of the request,
   but it doesn't because i_size has already been extended back.

Moving end_page_writeback to the end of fuse_writepage_locked fixes the
race because now the fact that truncate_pagecache is successfully returned
infers that fuse_writepage_locked has already called end_page_writeback.
And this, in turn, infers that fuse_flush_writepages has already called
fuse_send_writepage, and the latter used valid (shrunk) i_size. write(2)
could not extend it because of i_mutex held by ftruncate(2).
