[PATCH v2 0/6] Fix two issue about ext4 extended attribute

[Ye Bin]

From: Ye Bin <yebin10@huawei.com>

Diff v2 vs v1:
1.Modify commit message about "ext4: fix WARNING in ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea"
2.Modify the indentation of arguments about "ext4: rename xattr_find_entry()
and __xattr_check_inode()"

This patchset fix two issues:
1. Patch [1]-[4] fix WARNING in ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea.
2. Patch [6] fix inode leak in 'ext4_xattr_inode_create()'.
3. Patch [5] is cleanup.

Ye Bin (6):
  ext4: fix WARNING in ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea
  ext4: add primary check extended attribute inode in
    ext4_xattr_check_entries()
  ext4: remove unnessary size check in ext4_xattr_inode_get()
  ext4: allocate extended attribute value in vmalloc area
  ext4: rename xattr_find_entry() and __xattr_check_inode()
  ext4: fix inode leak in 'ext4_xattr_inode_create()'

Reason is allocate 16M memory by kmalloc, but MAX_ORDER is 11, kmalloc
can allocate maxium size memory is 4M.
XATTR_SIZE_MAX is currently 64k, but EXT4_XATTR_SIZE_MAX is '(1 << 24)',
so 'ext4_xattr_check_entries()' regards this length as legal. Then trigger
warning in 'ext4_xattr_move_to_block()'.
To solve above issue, change EXT4_XATTR_SIZE_MAX from '(1 << 24)' to
XATTR_SIZE_MAX. As VFS limit extended attribute maxium size to XATTR_SIZE_MAX.
So we can assume that there will be no extended attribute with a length greater
than XATTR_SIZE_MAX.

What is the value of (1 << 24)?

The prose reads a rather confused. kmalloc allocates 16M memory, but the
maximum memory size that kmalloc can allocate is 4M, right?

So I was thinking about this. It is nice to have the inode references
checked but OTOH this is rather expensive for a filesystem with EA inodes -
we have to lookup and possibly load EA inodes from the disk although they
won't be needed for anything else than the check. Also as you have noticed
we do check whether i_size and xattr size as recorded in xattr entry match
in ext4_xattr_inode_iget() which gets called once we need to do anything
with the EA inode.

Also I've checked and we do call ext4_xattr_check_block() and
xattr_check_inode() in ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea() so Ted's suspicion that
the problem comes from not checking the xattr entries before moving them
from the inode was not correct.

So to summarize, I don't think this and the following patch is actually
needed and brings benefit that would outweight the performance cost.

Yes, I agree with you.
In ext4_ xattr_ check_ Entries () simply verifies the length of the 
extended attribute with
ea_inode. If the previous patch is not merged, EXT4_ XATTR_ SIZE_ MAX is 
much larger
than the actual constraint value. Data verification can only be 
postponed until the ea_inode
is read.
So your suggestion is to modify EXT4_ XATTR_ SIZE_ MAX Or defer data 
verification until
the ea_inode is read?

My suggestion would be to take patches 1,4,5,6 from your series. So reduce
EXT4_XATTR_SIZE_MAX (if Ted agrees), use kvmalloc() instead of kmalloc(),
do the cleanup of funtion names, and fix the inode refcount leak.

[PATCH v2 3/6] ext4: remove unnessary size check in ext4_xattr_inode_get()

[Ye Bin]

As previous patch add check in ext4_xattr_check_entries(), before call
ext4_xattr_inode_get() will already do xattr entries check.

[PATCH v2 4/6] ext4: allocate extended attribute value in vmalloc area

[Ye Bin]

From: Ye Bin <yebin10@huawei.com>

Now, extended attribute value maxium length is 64K. The memory requested here
does not need continuous physical addresses, so it is appropriate to use
kvmalloc to request memory. At the same time, it can also cope with the
situation that the extended attribute will become longer in the future.

xattr_find_entry() and __xattr_check_inode() is in EXT4 xattr module. so
add 'ext4' prefix to unify name style.

What about "Prepend ext4 prefix to xattr_find_entry() and

Oops, I mean "Prepend ext4 prefix to function names of
xattr_find_entry() and __xattr_check_inode() for consistency with other
functions in ext4 xattr module."

[PATCH v2 6/6] ext4: fix inode leak in 'ext4_xattr_inode_create()'

[Ye Bin]

From: Ye Bin <yebin10@huawei.com>

There is issue as follows when do setxattr with inject fault:
[localhost]#fsck.ext4  -fn  /dev/sda
e2fsck 1.46.6-rc1 (12-Sep-2022)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Unattached zero-length inode 15.  Clear? no

Unattached inode 15
Connect to /lost+found? no

Pass 5: Checking group summary information

/dev/sda: ********** WARNING: Filesystem still has errors **********

/dev/sda: 15/655360 files (0.0% non-contiguous), 66755/2621440 blocks

Above issue occur in 'ext4_xattr_inode_create()', if 'ext4_mark_inode_dirty()'
failed need to drop inode's i_nlink. Or will lead to inode leak.

What about "This occurs in ... . If ... fails, dropping i_nlink of the
inode is needed, otherwise inode leak can occur."?

I think I've already given my Reviewed-by on this :). Anyway, the patch
looks good. Feel free to add:
