Subject: [PATCH v3] nfsd: prevent a double put of revoked layout stateids
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 15:12:18 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261014061218.102648-1-bint4b13@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <3a6b84453aaa75b654155a699d4f85735df9c48d.camel@kernel.org>
nfsd4_free_stateid() finds an admin-revoked layout stateid with
find_stateid_locked(), which does not acquire a reference. The layout
case drops cl_lock without marking the stateid closed, then stops fence
work and calls nfs4_put_stid() without owning a reference. Concurrent
disposal can therefore access a freed layout stateid or drop a reference
owned by another holder.
Mark the layout stateid CLOSED under cl_lock. Take a temporary reference
before dropping cl_lock and hold it while stopping fence work and
draining the remaining layout segments, then release it with the final
put. The IDR owns no layout reference.
Use cl_lock for the CLOSED update in LAYOUTRETURN as well, matching the
common stateid locking rule. Retain ls_mutex through that update and
recheck CLOSED under cl_lock after taking ls_mutex in LAYOUTGET, so a
stale LAYOUTGET cannot add a segment after the drain. Also make the newly
allocated layout stateid the error-path put target.
Make revoked-stateid disposal idempotent with SC_STATUS_FREED under
cl_lock. An in-flight reference can keep an admin-revoked OPEN, LOCK, or
DELEG stateid in the IDR after disposal. Restrict
nfs40_clean_admin_revoked() to v4.0 clients and skip FREED entries so its
retry loop cannot repeatedly select the same stateid or consume references
owned by other callers. Use FREED rather than CLOSED to guard disposal:
delegation recall rejection can set CLOSED before the first disposal call.
Reject FREED stateids in FREE_STATEID and TEST_STATEID as well, so a
stateid retained by an in-flight reference returns BAD_STATEID after
successful disposal instead of success or ADMIN_REVOKED.
Validation used nfsd-testing at c32fef6c476d. The patched x86_64 kernel
and modules were built with GCC 12.2 and booted with Generic KASAN,
lockdep, modular NFSD, and pNFS SCSI layout support. Basic NFSv4.2,
NFSv4.0, and NFSv3 read/write/unmount smoke tests passed.
Targeted runs forced concurrent two-slot FREE_STATEID, LAYOUTGET and
LAYOUTRETURN overlaps around ls_mutex, and an NFSv4.0 cleaner retry while
a READ held an OPEN stateid reference. Stateids were reaped once, stale
requests returned BAD_STATEID, and the NFSv4.0 cleaner did not process
the NFSv4.1 client. No KASAN, lockdep, refcount, list-corruption, Oops, or
kernel BUG report occurred; kernel taint remained zero.
The vulnerability research and validation were conducted by members of
the Tobabz team as part of the Best of the Best 15th program.

Changes in v3:
- Address the v4.0 disposal issue reported by Sashiko and forwarded by
Jeff Layton: claim disposal with FREED under cl_lock and skip FREED
stateids in the admin-revocation scan.
- Preserve first-time disposal of delegations already marked CLOSED, and
reject FREED stateids in FREE_STATEID and TEST_STATEID.
- Rebase onto nfsd-testing c32fef6c476daa5830f600614657baee59c83339
and add targeted runtime validation.
