Various ext3 crashes when mounting corrupted images.

[PATCH] ext3: validate directory entry data before use

[Duane Griffin]

Various places in fs/ext3/namei.c use ext3_next_entry to loop over
directory entries, but not all of them verify that entries are valid before
attempting to move to the next one. In the case where rec_len == 0 this
causes an infinite loop.

Introduce a new version of ext3_next_entry that checks the validity of the
entry before using its data to find the next one. Rename the original
function to __ext3_next_entry and use it in places where we already know
the data is valid.

Note that the changes to empty_dir follow the original code in reporting
the directory as empty in the presence of errors.

This patch fixes the first case (image hdb.25.softlockup.gz) reported in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10882.

Please note that I've only properly tested the originally reported failure
case (i.e. the changes to ext3_dx_find_entry).

Reviewers may want to pay particular attention to the changes to do_split,
make_indexed_dir and empty_dir. I've tried to follow the original code's
error handling conventions, as noted above for empty_dir, but I'm not sure
this is the best way to do things.

[PATCH, v2] ext3: validate directory entry data before use

[Duane Griffin]

Various places in fs/ext3/namei.c use ext3_next_entry to loop over
directory entries, but not all of them verify that entries are valid before
attempting to move to the next one. In the case where rec_len == 0 this
causes an infinite loop.

Introduce a new version of ext3_next_entry that checks the validity of the
entry before using its data to find the next one. Rename the original
function to __ext3_next_entry and use it in places where we already know
the data is valid.

Note that the changes to empty_dir follow the original code in reporting
the directory as empty in the presence of errors.

This patch fixes the first case (image hdb.25.softlockup.gz) reported in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10882.

This is version 2. The original patch was an earlier version causing
warnings that I sent by mistake. This version just fixes those.

Please note that I've only properly tested the originally reported failure
case (i.e. the changes to ext3_dx_find_entry).

Reviewers may want to pay particular attention to the changes to do_split,
make_indexed_dir and empty_dir. I've tried to follow the original code's
error handling conventions, as noted above for empty_dir, but I'm not sure
this is the best way to do things.

Aargh, I just can't seem to get this patch out cleanly! That looks
like a vi typo, thanks for catching it so quickly. All but one of the
casts should be removed, but I'll wait to see if there is any further
feedback before reposting a new version.

  The patch looks sane to me, only of few mostly coding style nits..

  Andrew might complain that the above function is too big to be
inlined. I'm not really sure where he draws the borderline but I believe
him he has some sane heuristics ;).

  Apart from (char *) thing, you also don't need braces above. Maybe the
whole while loop would be nicer as:
	de2 = de;
	while (de2 != NULL && de2 < top) {

		de2 = ext3_next_entry(__func__, dir, de, bh, 0);

Oh, I'd certainly believe him! ;) Say the word and I'll change it.

Good question. Fixed.

Done, fixing a couple of incorrect strings along the way, thereby
proving the usefulness of the exercise. A macro would make things
slightly tidier, but I'm not sure it is worth doing. Let me know if you
think so and I'll add it.

Agreed, much nicer. Updated accordingly.

[PATCH, v3] ext3: validate directory entry data before use

[Duane Griffin]

Various places in fs/ext3/namei.c use ext3_next_entry to loop over
directory entries, but not all of them verify that entries are valid before
attempting to move to the next one. In the case where rec_len == 0 this
causes an infinite loop.

Introduce a new version of ext3_next_entry that checks the validity of the
entry before using its data to find the next one. Rename the original
function to __ext3_next_entry and use it in places where we already know
the data is valid.

Note that the changes to empty_dir follow the original code in reporting
the directory as empty in the presence of errors.

This patch fixes the first case (image hdb.25.softlockup.gz) reported in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10882.

This is version 3. It includes some tidy-ups from v2 as suggested by
Jochen Voss and Jan Kara. It also replaces hard-coded function name strings
with __func__ in all calls to ext3_check_dir_entry, including one in an
otherwise untouched file. I don't think a separate patch for this is
necessary, but if it would be preferred I'd be happy to split it out.

I've removed some whitespace in a couple of places in order to fit lines
into 80 columns, so there are a couple of checkpatch warnings. Let me know
if you think it would be better to split the lines or go over 80 cols.

Please note that I've only properly tested the originally reported failure
case (i.e. the changes to ext3_dx_find_entry).

Reviewers may want to pay particular attention to the changes to do_split,
make_indexed_dir and empty_dir. I've tried to follow the original code's
error handling conventions, as noted above for empty_dir, but I'm not sure
this is the best way to do things.

Just as a note, and not to detract from the validity of this patch -
in the ext2 page-based directory code is somewhat more efficient in this
area.  It checks each page a single time when it is first read from disk,
marks the page as checked, and then never has to check the page again.

This wasn't implemented for ext3 because it never changed from buffer-
based directories to page-based directories due to the dependence on
buffer heads for the journaling code.

It would be possible to implement this for ext3/ext4 readdir/lookup by
replacing use of ext3_bread() with a new ext3_bread_dir() - a copy of
ext3_bread() that validates the buffer if it actually needs ll_rw_block()
to read the buffer from disk.

I also note in ext3_readdir() for non-indexed directories that the readahead
doesn't check for !buffer_uptodate(bh) before forcing a read of the next
block.

Cheers, Andreas

[PATCH] ext3: handle corrupted orphan list at mount

[Duane Griffin]

If the orphan node list includes valid, untruncatable nodes with nlink > 0
the ext3_orphan_cleanup loop which attempts to delete them will not do so,
causing it to loop forever. Fix by checking for such nodes in the
ext3_orphan_get function.

This patch fixes the second case (image hdb.20000009.softlockup.gz)
reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10882.

Note that we can still end up in an infinite loop if the ext3_truncate
errors out early (and keeps doing so). I'm not sure if we should worry
about that. If we did want to handle it then we could change ext3_truncate
to return success/failure and exit the ext3_orphan_cleanup.

Here I get (on x86 gcc 4.3.1):

fs/ext3/ialloc.c: In function 'ext3_orphan_get':
fs/ext3/ialloc.c:701: warning: format '%lu' expects type 'long unsigned int', but argument 2 has type 'unsigned int'

So it probably should be %u or something.

No, it is correct. If i_nlink == 0 the orphan will be deleted in the
cleanup loop by the iput. If i_nlink > 0 then ext3_truncate is called,
which usually calls ext3_orphan_del on the way out, thereby removing
the node from the orphan list. However, if it exits too early
(basically if the ext3_can_truncate check fails, although there are
other failure conditions such as OOM that can also cause it to exit
early) then it doesn't, hence we end up in the infinite loop. So the
check here says, if this node is not going to be deleted or truncated
then it is invalid.

Cheers,
Duane.

  Ah, OK, I forgot that you want to handle also truncation without deletion
of the inode itself. Thanks for explanation.

[PATCH] ext3: handle deleting corrupted indirect blocks

[Duane Griffin]

While freeing indirect blocks we attach a journal head to the parent buffer
head, free the blocks, then journal the parent. If the indirect block list
is corrupted and points to the parent the journal head will be detached
when the block is cleared, causing an OOPS.

Check for that explicitly and handle it gracefully.

This patch fixes the third case (image hdb.20000057.nullderef.gz)
reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10882.

Should it also (or only) be checking for buffer_jbd rather than testing
bh2jh which is just shorthand for "is b_private non-null?"

Also maybe I should know this intuitively by now, but what is the path
where b_private / BH_JBD got cleared on this corrupted image?

I don't think so. The bug was occurring because journal_dirty_metadata
dereferences b_private (via bh2jh) unconditionally. In practice
checking with buffer_jbd should be equivalent, but this way seems more
robust since it is checking the actual pointer being accessed rather
than a separate bit, albeit one that should be in sync with it.

> Also maybe I should know this intuitively by now, but what is the path

Immediately above the change, in the ext3_free_data function, we call
ext3_clear_blocks to clear the indirect blocks in this parent block.
If one of those blocks happens to actually be the parent block it will
clear b_private / BH_JBD.

I did the check at the end rather than earlier as it seemed more
elegant. I don't think there should be much practical difference,
although it is possible the FS may not be quite so badly corrupted if
we did it the other way (and didn't clear the block at all). To be
honest, I'm not convinced there aren't other similar failure modes
lurking in this code, although I couldn't find any with a quick
review.

Just let me know if you think it should be done another way.

Cheers,
Duane.

Hi Andrew, thanks for the reminder, I checked and think there are a few
latest ext3 fixes need to port to ext4..

These three (ext4 version) have been pushed to Linus tree(May 14th)

Ext4 has this fix in upstream already

These haven't port to ext4 yet. I could port them to ext4 if no one
wants to do so.

I was planning on doing my ones, once they'd gone through review and
been accepted into your tree. I'd be happy to do others too, if
needed.

These three are mine and should have ext4 patches queued or upstream already.

These four are new ones from me. They don't have ext4 versions yet but
I'll prepare them soon.
