Subject: [PATCH] nilfs2: fix use-after-free bug of ns_writer on remount
If a nilfs2 filesystem is downgraded to read-only due to metadata
corruption on disk and is remounted read/write, or if emergency
read-only remount is performed, detaching a log writer and
synchronizing the filesystem can be done at the same time.
In these cases, use-after-free of the log writer (hereinafter
nilfs->ns_writer) can happen as shown in the scenario below:
Task1 Task2
-------------------------------- ------------------------------
nilfs_construct_segment
nilfs_segctor_sync
init_wait
init_waitqueue_entry
add_wait_queue
schedule
nilfs_remount (R/W remount case)
nilfs_attach_log_writer
nilfs_detach_log_writer
nilfs_segctor_destroy
kfree
finish_wait
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave
__raw_spin_lock_irqsave
do_raw_spin_lock
debug_spin_lock_before <-- use-after-free
While Task1 is sleeping, nilfs->ns_writer is freed by Task2. After
Task1 waked up, Task1 accesses nilfs->ns_writer which is already
freed. This scenario diagram is based on the Shigeru Yoshida's post
[1].
This patch fixes the issue by not detaching nilfs->ns_writer on
remount so that this UAF race doesn't happen. Along with this change,
this patch also inserts a few necessary read-only checks with
superblock instance where only the ns_writer pointer was used to check
if the filesystem is read-only.
