[PATCH 0/2] target: Bug-fixes for v4.11-rc

[Nicholas A. Bellinger]

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>

Hi all,

Here are two additional target bug-fixes that have been found
by the DATERA Q/A + automation team during extended longevity
and stress testing atop v4.1.y stable code.

The first is a iscsi-target specific TMR reference leak during
session shutdown when se_cmd quiesce occured before hand-off
back to iscsi-target, that results in se_tmr_req descriptors
being left after se_cmd was freed.

This would manifest as kernel paging OOPsen during LUN_RESET
after the leak occured, because the associated se_tmr_req had
not been released even though the pre-allocated parent se_cmd
descriptor had already been freed during session shutdown.

The second is a race between se_lun configfs unlink shutdown
when se_lun->lun_ref percpu_ref RCU grace period is happening,
and user-space attempts to add a new NodeACL mappedlun configfs
symlink while se_lun shutdown is occuring.

This would manifest as NULL pointer dereference OOPsen within
target_stat_scsi_att_intr_port_show_attr_dev() after a new
NodeACL mappedlun was added to a se_lun that had already
been shutdown.

Both have been verified on v4.1.y stable code, and forward
ported to v4.11-rc.

Please review.

[PATCH 1/2] iscsi-target: Fix TMR reference leak during session shutdown

[Nicholas A. Bellinger]

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>

This patch fixes a iscsi-target specific TMR reference leak
during session shutdown, that could occur when a TMR was
quiesced before the hand-off back to iscsi-target code
via transport_cmd_check_stop_to_fabric().

The reference leak happens because iscsit_free_cmd() was
incorrectly skipping the final target_put_sess_cmd() for
TMRs when transport_generic_free_cmd() returned zero because
the se_cmd->cmd_kref did not reach zero, due to the missing
se_cmd assignment in original code.

The result was iscsi_cmd and it's associated se_cmd memory
would be freed once se_sess->sess_cmd_map where released,
but the associated se_tmr_req was leaked and remained part
of se_device->dev_tmr_list.

This bug would manfiest itself as kernel paging request
OOPsen in core_tmr_lun_reset(), when a left-over se_tmr_req
attempted to dereference it's se_cmd pointer that had
already been released during normal session shutdown.

To address this bug, go ahead and treat ISCSI_OP_SCSI_CMD
and ISCSI_OP_SCSI_TMFUNC the same when there is an extra
se_cmd->cmd_kref to drop in iscsit_free_cmd(), and use
op_scsi to signal __iscsit_free_cmd() when the former
needs to clear any further iscsi related I/O state.

Hello Nic,

I agree that this patch fixes a leak. However, an existing bug in
iscsit_free_cmd() is not addressed by this patch. Before the TMF code started
using kref_get() / kref_put() it was possible for transport_generic_free_cmd()
to determine whether or not iscsit_free_cmd() should call __iscsit_free_cmd()
by checking the command reference count. I think that since the TMF code
manipulates the command reference count it is no longer possible for
transport_generic_free_cmd() to determine this. If iscsit_free_cmd() is called
while a LUN RESET is in progress then the return value of
transport_generic_free_cmd() will be wrong. I will post a few patches that not
only address what I just described but also the leak fixed by this patch.

Bart.

No.  Your assumption is incorrect wrt transport_generic_free_cmd()
having a wrong return value during LUN_RESET.

It's incorrect because when iscsit_free_cmd() is called with
shutdown=true resulting in transport_generic_free_cmd() with
wait_for_tasks=true, target_wait_free_cmd() checks for CMD_T_ABORTED to
determine if se_cmd has been aborted by target_core_tmr.c logic, and
returns aborted=true back up to transport_generic_free_cmd().

When transport_generic_free_cmd() gets aborted=true, it waits for
se_cmd->cmd_wait_comp to finish and calls cmd->se_tfo->release_cmd()
to release se_cmd back to the pre-allocated session pool.

At this point, transport_generic_free_cmd() with aborted=true must
return '1' it's caller, signaling iscsit_free_cmd() to not attempt to
perform the extra __iscsi_free_cmd() or target_put_sess_cmd(), because
se_cmd has already been released back to the session pool.

[PATCH 2/2] target: Avoid mappedlun symlink creation during lun shutdown

[Nicholas A. Bellinger]

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>

This patch closes a race between se_lun deletion during configfs
unlink in target_fabric_port_unlink() -> core_dev_del_lun()
-> core_tpg_remove_lun(), when transport_clear_lun_ref() blocks
waiting for percpu_ref RCU grace period to finish, but a new
NodeACL mappedlun is added before the RCU grace period has
completed.

This can happen in target_fabric_mappedlun_link() because it
only checks for se_lun->lun_se_dev, which is not cleared until
after transport_clear_lun_ref() percpu_ref RCU grace period
finishes.

This bug originally manifested as NULL pointer dereference
OOPsen in target_stat_scsi_att_intr_port_show_attr_dev() on
v4.1.y code, because it dereferences lun->lun_se_dev without
a explicit NULL pointer check.

In post v4.1 code with target-core RCU conversion, the code
in target_stat_scsi_att_intr_port_show_attr_dev() no longer
uses se_lun->lun_se_dev, but the same race still exists.

To address the bug, go ahead and set se_lun>lun_shutdown as
early as possible in core_tpg_remove_lun(), and ensure new
NodeACL mappedlun creation in target_fabric_mappedlun_link()
fails during se_lun shutdown.
