Subject: [PATCH v2 09/23] NFSv4/flexfiles: Hold a device node reference for layoutstats encoding
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 12:29:13 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ff832a1b5cd1412c2be32f02b86cb60108ffc8cb.1787327939.git.bcodding@hammerspace.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1787327939.git.bcodding@hammerspace.com>
ff_layout_mirror_prepare_stats() records a stripe's device under i_lock,
but the layoutstats/layoutreturn XDR encode runs later and dereferences
the mirror's pinned device node (for the DS netaddr) with no reference
of its own. Once a CHANGE notification can re-point the pinned node,
that read becomes use-after-free.
Take a node reference at prepare time and carry it with the stripe in a
per-devinfo nfs4_ff_layoutstat_priv, released in
ff_layout_free_layoutstats(). The priv entries live alongside the
devinfo array: co-allocated for LAYOUTSTATS, an additional member of
nfs4_flexfile_layoutreturn_args for LAYOUTRETURN.
