Subject: Coverity: jbd2_journal_write_metadata_buffer(): Concurrent data access violations
Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2019 17:35:53 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201911111735.2426AF50D@keescook> (raw)

Hello!

This is an experimental automated report about issues detected by Coverity
from a scan of next-20191108 as part of the linux-next weekly scan project:
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan

You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified
lines of code (noted below) that were touched by recent commits:

303a8f2afc7b ("jbd2: remove the second argument of k[un]map_atomic()")

Coverity reported the following:

*** CID 1487840:  Concurrent data access violations  (ATOMICITY)
/fs/jbd2/journal.c: 421 in jbd2_journal_write_metadata_buffer()
415     		if (jh_in->b_frozen_data) {
416     			jbd2_free(tmp, bh_in->b_size);
417     			goto repeat;
418     		}
419
420     		jh_in->b_frozen_data = tmp;
vvv     CID 1487840:  Concurrent data access violations  (ATOMICITY)
vvv     Using an unreliable value of "new_page" inside the second locked section. If the data that "new_page" depends on was changed by another thread, this use might be incorrect.
421     		mapped_data = kmap_atomic(new_page);
422     		memcpy(tmp, mapped_data + new_offset, bh_in->b_size);
423     		kunmap_atomic(mapped_data);
424
425     		new_page = virt_to_page(tmp);
426     		new_offset = offset_in_page(tmp);

If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as
such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make
sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please
include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):

Thanks for your attention!
