From 83d060ca8d90fa1e3feac227f995c013100862d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Peterson Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2020 14:28:58 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] gfs2: fix use-after-free on transaction ail lists Before this patch, transactions could be merged into the system transaction by function gfs2_merge_trans(), but the transaction ail lists were never merged. Because the ail flushing mechanism can run separately, bd elements can be attached to the transaction's buffer list during the transaction (trans_add_meta, etc) but quickly moved to its ail lists. Later, in function gfs2_trans_end, the transaction can be freed (by gfs2_trans_end) while it still has bd elements queued to its ail lists, which can cause it to either lose track of the bd elements altogether (memory leak) or worse, reference the bd elements after the parent transaction has been freed. Although I've not seen any serious consequences, the problem becomes apparent with the previous patch's addition of: gfs2_assert_warn(sdp, list_empty(&tr->tr_ail1_list)); to function gfs2_trans_free(). This patch adds logic into gfs2_merge_trans() to move the merged transaction's ail lists to the sdp transaction. This prevents the use-after-free. To do this properly, we need to hold the ail lock, so we pass sdp into the function instead of the transaction itself.
