Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] ocfs2/cluster: initialize heartbeat regions before publishing them
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 12:33:22 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111173303.3608441-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107062726-failed-5.10-c5b7a30a5172@kernel.org>

From: Cen Zhang <zzzccc427@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit c5b7a30a5172317e1e3cba61d8c9f9c588c497bb ]

A region on o2hb_all_regions must have an initialized config item and
name. o2hb_heartbeat_group_make_item() currently links the zeroed region
under o2hb_live_lock, drops the lock, and only then initializes hr_item.
The lock therefore protects the list without protecting initialization
from readers of the published item.

With global heartbeat enabled, a DLM_QUERY_REGION from the current
joining node can pass the existing-domain and protocol checks while a
configfs mkdir creates another region. The DLM locks are not taken by
the constructor, and the network worker does not take the configfs
subsystem mutex. The following ordering is possible:

  Configfs mkdir                     O2net receive worker
  --------------                     --------------------
  Allocate reg
  Lock o2hb_live_lock
  Link into o2hb_all_regions
  Unlock o2hb_live_lock
                                     dlm_query_region_handler()
                                       dlm_match_regions()
                                         o2hb_get_all_regions()
                                           Lock o2hb_live_lock
                                           Copy 32 bytes from NULL name
                                           Unlock o2hb_live_lock
  config_item_init_type_name()

The query thus dereferences NULL. Initialize hr_item before linking the
region so the existing list lock also orders name initialization before
any reader. Reject a failed name allocation, since the initialization
helper does not propagate that error.

Use config_item_put() on initialized constructor failures to release the
name and respect references retained by o2hb_region_pin(). Initialize
the list heads, mutex and delayed works needed by o2hb_region_release()
before any such put, and leave the list node self-linked after rollback.
Keep the existing handler drain before removing a failed published item.
