Subject: [PATCH 5.11 059/342] btrfs: fix race between transaction aborts and fsyncs leading to use-after-free

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@...e.com>

commit 061dde8245356d8864d29e25207aa4daa0be4d3c upstream.

There is a race between a task aborting a transaction during a commit,
a task doing an fsync and the transaction kthread, which leads to an
use-after-free of the log root tree. When this happens, it results in a
stack trace like the following:

  BTRFS info (device dm-0): forced readonly
  BTRFS warning (device dm-0): Skipping commit of aborted transaction.
  BTRFS: error (device dm-0) in cleanup_transaction:1958: errno=-5 IO failure
  BTRFS warning (device dm-0): lost page write due to IO error on /dev/mapper/error-test (-5)
  BTRFS warning (device dm-0): Skipping commit of aborted transaction.
  BTRFS warning (device dm-0): direct IO failed ino 261 rw 0,0 sector 0xa4e8 len 4096 err no 10
  BTRFS error (device dm-0): error writing primary super block to device 1
  BTRFS warning (device dm-0): direct IO failed ino 261 rw 0,0 sector 0x12e000 len 4096 err no 10
  BTRFS warning (device dm-0): direct IO failed ino 261 rw 0,0 sector 0x12e008 len 4096 err no 10

  ---[ end trace ee2f1b19327d791d ]---

The steps that lead to this crash are the following:

1) We are at transaction N;

2) We have two tasks with a transaction handle attached to transaction N.
   Task A and Task B. Task B is doing an fsync;

3) Task B is at btrfs_sync_log(), and has saved fs_info->log_root_tree
   into a local variable named 'log_root_tree' at the top of
   btrfs_sync_log(). Task B is about to call write_all_supers(), but
   before that...

4) Task A calls btrfs_commit_transaction(), and after it sets the
   transaction state to TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START, an error happens before
   it waits for the transaction's 'num_writers' counter to reach a value
   of 1 (no one else attached to the transaction), so it jumps to the
   label "cleanup_transaction";

5) Task A then calls cleanup_transaction(), where it aborts the
   transaction, setting BTRFS_FS_STATE_TRANS_ABORTED on fs_info->fs_state,
   setting the ->aborted field of the transaction and the handle to an
   errno value and also setting BTRFS_FS_STATE_ERROR on fs_info->fs_state.

   After that, at cleanup_transaction(), it deletes the transaction from
   the list of transactions (fs_info->trans_list), sets the transaction
   to the state TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING and then waits for the number
   of writers to go down to 1, as it's currently 2 (1 for task A and 1
   for task B);

6) The transaction kthread is running and sees that BTRFS_FS_STATE_ERROR
   is set in fs_info->fs_state, so it calls btrfs_cleanup_transaction().

   There it sees the list fs_info->trans_list is empty, and then proceeds
   into calling btrfs_drop_all_logs(), which frees the log root tree with
   a call to btrfs_free_log_root_tree();

7) Task B calls write_all_supers() and, shortly after, under the label
   'out_wake_log_root', it deferences the pointer stored in
   'log_root_tree', which was already freed in the previous step by the
   transaction kthread. This results in a use-after-free leading to a
   crash.

Fix this by deleting the transaction from the list of transactions at
cleanup_transaction() only after setting the transaction state to
TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING and waiting for all existing tasks that are
attached to the transaction to release their transaction handles.
This makes the transaction kthread wait for all the tasks attached to
the transaction to be done with the transaction before dropping the
log roots and doing other cleanups.
