[PATCH] bdi: Fix oops in wb_workfn()
Syzbot has reported that it can hit a NULL pointer dereference in wb_workfn() due to wb->bdi->dev being NULL. This indicates that wb_workfn() was called for an already unregistered bdi which should not happen as wb_shutdown() called from bdi_unregister() should make sure all pending writeback works are completed before bdi is unregistered. Except that wb_workfn() itself can requeue the work with: mod_delayed_work(bdi_wq, &wb->dwork, 0); and if this happens while wb_shutdown() is waiting in: flush_delayed_work(&wb->dwork); the dwork can get executed after wb_shutdown() has finished and bdi_unregister() has cleared wb->bdi->dev. Make wb_workfn() use wakeup_wb() for requeueing the work which takes all the necessary precautions against racing with bdi unregistration.

Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner As an aside, why is half the wb infrastructure in fs/fs-writeback.c and the other half in mm/backing-dev.c? it seems pretty random as to what is where e.g. wb_wakeup() and wb_wakeup_delayed() are almost identical, but are in completely different files...

That's always bothered me too, it's due for a cleanup and bringing it all into one location. -- Jens Axboe

Yes, this patch will solve NULL pointer dereference bug. But is it OK to leave list_empty(&wb->work_list) == false situation? Who takes over the role of making list_empty(&wb->work_list) == true? Just a confirmation, for Fabiano Rosas is facing a problem that "write call hangs in kernel space after virtio hot-remove" and is thinking that we might need to go the opposite direction ( http://lkml.kernel.org/r/f0787b79-1e50-5f55-a400-44f715451...@linux.ibm.com ).

But is it OK to > leave list_empty(&wb->work_list) == false situation? Who takes over the > role of making list_empty(&wb->work_list) == true? That's a good question. The reason is the last running instance of wb_workfn() cannot leave with the work_list non-empty. Once WB_registered is cleared we cannot add new entries to work_list. Then we'll queue and flush last wb_workfn() to clean up the list. The problem with NULL ptr deref has been triggered not by this last running wb_workfn() but by one running independently in parallel to wb_shutdown(). So something like: CPU0CPU1CPU2 wb_workfn() do { ... } while (!list_empty(&wb->work_list)); wb_queue_work() if (test_bit(WB_registered, &wb->state)) { list_add_tail(&work->list, &wb->work_list); mod_delayed_work(bdi_wq, &wb->dwork, 0); } wb_shutdown() if (!test_and_clear_bit(WB_registered, &wb->state)) { ... mod_delayed_work(bdi_wq, &wb->dwork, 0); flush_delayed_work(&wb->dwork); if (!list_empty(&wb->work_list)) mod_delayed_work(bdi_wq, &wb->dwork, 0); -> queues buggy work > Just a confirmation, for Fabiano Rosas is facing a problem that "write call > hangs in kernel space after virtio hot-remove" and is thinking that we might > need to go the opposite direction > ( http://lkml.kernel.org/r/f0787b79-1e50-5f55-a400-44f715451...@linux.ibm.com > ). Yes, I'm aware of that report and I think it should be solved differently than what Fabiano suggests. Honza -- Jan Kara SUSE Labs, CR

Looks like I never replied that back, but I did pick it up, and it did in fact go out last week for this series. So we should be all good.

It can be queued after WB_registered bit is cleared but it cannot be queued after mod_delayed_work(bdi_wq, &wb->dwork, 0) has finished. That function deletes the pending timer (the timer cannot be armed again because WB_registered is cleared) and queues what should be the last round of wb_workfn(). > Then, don't we need to check that > > mod_delayed_work(bdi_wq, &wb->dwork, 0); > flush_delayed_work(&wb->dwork); > > is really waiting for completion?
