Subject: [PULL 1/1] qcow2: Fix corruption on write_zeroes with MAY_UNMAP
Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2020 15:24:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201124142459.298166-2-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201124142459.298166-1-kwolf@redhat.com>

From: Maxim Levitsky <mlevitsk@redhat.com>

Commit 205fa50750 ("qcow2: Add subcluster support to zero_in_l2_slice()")
introduced a subtle change to code in zero_in_l2_slice:

It swapped the order of

1. qcow2_cache_entry_mark_dirty(s->l2_table_cache, l2_slice);
2. set_l2_entry(s, l2_slice, l2_index + i, QCOW_OFLAG_ZERO);
3. qcow2_free_any_clusters(bs, old_offset, 1, QCOW2_DISCARD_REQUEST);

To

1. qcow2_cache_entry_mark_dirty(s->l2_table_cache, l2_slice);
2. qcow2_free_any_clusters(bs, old_offset, 1, QCOW2_DISCARD_REQUEST);
3. set_l2_entry(s, l2_slice, l2_index + i, QCOW_OFLAG_ZERO);

It seems harmless, however the call to qcow2_free_any_clusters can
trigger a cache flush which can mark the L2 table as clean, and
assuming that this was the last write to it, a stale version of it
will remain on the disk.

Now we have a valid L2 entry pointing to a freed cluster. Oops.
