Subject: [PATCH 4/5] radix tree test suite: multi-order iteration race
Add a test which shows a race in the multi-order iteration code. This test
reliably hits the race in under a second on my machine, and is the result
of a real bug report against kernel a production v4.15 based kernel
(4.15.6-300.fc27.x86_64). With a real kernel this issue is hit when using
order 9 PMD DAX radix tree entries.
The race has to do with how we tear down multi-order sibling entries when
we are removing an item from the tree. Remember that an order 2 entry
looks like this:
struct radix_tree_node.slots[] = [entry][sibling][sibling][sibling]
where 'entry' is in some slot in the struct radix_tree_node, and the three
slots following 'entry' contain sibling pointers which point back to
'entry.'
When we delete 'entry' from the tree, we call :
radix_tree_delete()
radix_tree_delete_item()
__radix_tree_delete()
replace_slot()
replace_slot() first removes the siblings in order from the first to the
last, then at then replaces 'entry' with NULL. This means that for a brief
period of time we end up with one or more of the siblings removed, so:
struct radix_tree_node.slots[] = [entry][NULL][sibling][sibling]
This causes an issue if you have a reader iterating over the slots in the
tree via radix_tree_for_each_slot() while only under
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() protection. This is a common case in
mm/filemap.c.
The issue is that when __radix_tree_next_slot() => skip_siblings() tries to
skip over the sibling entries in the slots, it currently does so with an
exact match on the slot directly preceding our current slot. Normally this
works:
V preceding slot
struct radix_tree_node.slots[] = [entry][sibling][sibling][sibling]
^ current slot
This lets you find the first sibling, and you skip them all in order.
But in the case where one of the siblings is NULL, that slot is skipped and
then our sibling detection is interrupted:
V preceding slot
struct radix_tree_node.slots[] = [entry][NULL][sibling][sibling]
^ current slot
This means that the sibling pointers aren't recognized since they point all
the way back to 'entry', so we think that they are normal internal radix
tree pointers. This causes us to think we need to walk down to a struct
radix_tree_node starting at the address of 'entry'.
In a real running kernel this will crash the thread with a GP fault when
you try and dereference the slots in your broken node starting at 'entry'.
In the radix tree test suite this will be caught by the address sanitizer:
