Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] ceph: don't unregister an MDS session before removing its caps
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 17:03:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904150304.49104-1-max.kellermann@ionos.com> (raw)
handle_session() removed the session from mdsc->sessions[] at the very
top of `CEPH_SESSION_CLOSE` handling, before taking `s_mutex`.
Between session unregistration and remove_session_caps(), the MDS rank
has no registered session while the old session still owns all caps it
was granted.
Any concurrent filesystem operation may walk into that and the next
__do_request() call registers a new session for this rank. Once it is
open and the MDS issues caps, ceph_fill_inode() calls
ceph_add_cap(), which looks caps up by rank, not
by session identity, finding old caps linked to the old session.
The list_move_tail() call then moves the cap object to the new
session, which is already a bad thing to do. Since it doesn't
decrement `old_session->s_nr_caps`, this quickly triggers:
kernel BUG at fs/ceph/mds_client.c:1959!

That's BUG_ON(session->s_nr_caps > 0).
I was able to reproduce this reliably by delaying the close and
starting I/O during the delay.
This patch keeps the session registered with
`CEPH_MDS_SESSION_CLOSED`. New requests will be put on the
`s_waiting` list where they will be resumed on the new session.

v1->v2: skip CLOSED sessions in check_new_map()
v2->v3: split session pinning and stale-map guards into two preparatory
patches; rework CLOSED-session and export-target teardown handling
v3->v4:
- replace "ceph/mds_client: pin sessions while checking a new
MDS map" which was meanwhile superseded by commit ee611a750955
("ceph: fix UAF in check_new_map() on session freed during
unlock") with one that fixes the remaining UAF bugs
- adjust ceph_mdsc_reset_workfn()
- serialize send_mds_reconnect() state transitions with session CLOSE and
prevented reconnect failure rollback from overwriting CLOSED.
Max Kellermann (3):
ceph: fix use-after-free in check_new_map() after early session put
ceph: stop checking a stale MDS map after dropping mutex
ceph: don't unregister an MDS session before removing its caps
