Subject: [PATCH v5 2/2] xen/blkback: rework connect_ring() to avoid inconsistent xenstore 'ring-page-order' set by malicious blkfront
The xenstore 'ring-page-order' is used globally for each blkback queue and
therefore should be read from xenstore only once. However, it is obtained
in read_per_ring_refs() which might be called multiple times during the
initialization of each blkback queue.
If the blkfront is malicious and the 'ring-page-order' is set in different
value by blkfront every time before blkback reads it, this may end up at
the "WARN_ON(i != (XEN_BLKIF_REQS_PER_PAGE * blkif->nr_ring_pages));" in
xen_blkif_disconnect() when frontend is destroyed.
This patch reworks connect_ring() to read xenstore 'ring-page-order' only
once.
Signed-off-by: Dongli Zhang <dongli.zhang@...cle.com>
---
Changed since v1:
* change the order of xenstore read in read_per_ring_refs
* use xenbus_read_unsigned() in connect_ring()
Changed since v2:
* simplify the condition check as "(err != 1 && nr_grefs > 1)"
* avoid setting err as -EINVAL to remove extra one line of code
Changed since v3:
* exit at the beginning if !nr_grefs
* change the if statements to avoid test (err != 1) twice
* initialize a 'blkif' stack variable (refer to PATCH 1/2)
Changed since v4:
* use BUG_ON() when (nr_grefs == 0) to reminder the developer
* set err = -EINVAL before xenbus_dev_fatal()
