Subject: [PATCH 3.13 071/187] debugfs: Fix corrupted loop in debugfs_remove_recursive
3.13.11.7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>
commit 485d44022a152c0254dd63445fdb81c4194cbf0e upstream.
[ I'm currently running my tests on it now, and so far, after a few
hours it has yet to blow up. I'll run it for 24 hours which it never
succeeded in the past. ]
The tracing code has a way to make directories within the debugfs file
system as well as deleting them using mkdir/rmdir in the instance
directory. This is very limited in functionality, such as there is
no renames, and the parent directory "instance" can not be modified.
The tracing code creates the instance directory from the debugfs code
and then replaces the dentry->d_inode->i_op with its own to allow
for mkdir/rmdir to work.
When these are called, the d_entry and inode locks need to be released
to call the instance creation and deletion code. That code has its own
accounting and locking to serialize everything to prevent multiple
users from causing harm. As the parent "instance" directory can not
be modified this simplifies things.
I created a stress test that creates several threads that randomly
creates and deletes directories thousands of times a second. The code
stood up to this test and I submitted it a while ago.
Recently I added a new test that adds readers to the mix. While the
instance directories were being added and deleted, readers would read
from these directories and even enable tracing within them. This test
was able to trigger a bug:

It took a while, but every time it triggered, it was always in the
same place:
list_for_each_entry_safe(child, next, &parent->d_subdirs, d_u.d_child) {
Where the child->d_u.d_child seemed to be corrupted. I added lots of
trace_printk()s to see what was wrong, and sure enough, it was always
the child's d_u.d_child field. I looked around to see what touches
it and noticed that in __dentry_kill() which calls dentry_free():
static void dentry_free(struct dentry *dentry)
{
/* if dentry was never visible to RCU, immediate free is OK */
if (!(dentry->d_flags & DCACHE_RCUACCESS))
__d_free(&dentry->d_u.d_rcu);
else
call_rcu(&dentry->d_u.d_rcu, __d_free);
}
I also noticed that __dentry_kill() unlinks the child->d_u.child
under the parent->d_lock spin_lock.
Looking back at the loop in debugfs_remove_recursive() it never takes the
parent->d_lock to do the list walk. Adding more tracing, I was able to
prove this was the issue:
ftrace-t-15385 1.... 246662024us : dentry_kill <ffffffff81138b91>: free ffff88006d573600
rmdir-15409 2.... 246662024us : debugfs_remove_recursive <ffffffff811ec7e5>: child=ffff88006d573600 next=dead000000100058
The dentry_kill freed ffff88006d573600 just as the remove recursive was walking
it.
In order to fix this, the list walk needs to be modified a bit to take
the parent->d_lock. The safe version is no longer necessary, as every
time we remove a child, the parent->d_lock must be released and the
list walk must start over. Each time a child is removed, even though it
may still be on the list, it should be skipped by the first check
in the loop:
if (!debugfs_positive(child))
continue;
