[PATCH] ext4: fail ext4_iget for root directory if unallocated

by Theodore Ts'o

If the root directory has an i_links_count of zero, then when the file system is mounted, then when ext4_fill_super() notices the problem and tries to call iput() the root directory in the error return path, ext4_evict_inode() will try to free the inode on disk, before all of the file system structures are set up, and this will result in an OOPS caused by a NULL pointer dereference. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199179 Reported-by: Wen Xu <wen.xu(a)gatech.edu> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso(a)mit.edu> Cc: stable(a)vger.kernel.org --- fs/ext4/inode.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/ext4/inode.c b/fs/ext4/inode.c index 951a3d69ed17..5adfd0980c71 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/inode.c +++ b/fs/ext4/inode.c @@ -4745,6 +4745,12 @@ struct inode *ext4_iget(struct super_block *sb, unsigned long ino) goto bad_inode; raw_inode = ext4_raw_inode(&iloc); + if ((ino == EXT4_ROOT_INO) && (raw_inode->i_links_count == 0)) { + EXT4_ERROR_INODE(inode, "root inode unallocated"); + ret = -EFSCORRUPTED; + goto bad_inode; + } + if (EXT4_INODE_SIZE(inode->i_sb) > EXT4_GOOD_OLD_INODE_SIZE) { ei->i_extra_isize = le16_to_cpu(raw_inode->i_extra_isize); if (EXT4_GOOD_OLD_INODE_SIZE + ei->i_extra_isize > -- 2.16.1.72.g5be1f00a9a

Since the test relies on ptrace seeing an exact set of syscalls, this breaks the test. Replace raise(SIGSTOP) with syscall(SYS_tgkill, ...) to force glibc to get out of our way.

Patch "kvm/x86: fix icebp instruction handling" has been added to the 4.9-stable tree

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> know about it. >From 32d43cd391bacb5f0814c2624399a5dad3501d09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds(a)linux-foundation.org> Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2018 12:16:59 -0700 Subject: kvm/x86: fix icebp instruction handling From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds(a)linux-foundation.org> commit 32d43cd391bacb5f0814c2624399a5dad3501d09 upstream. The undocumented 'icebp' instruction (aka 'int1') works pretty much like 'int3' in the absense of in-circuit probing equipment (except, obviously, that it raises #DB instead of raising #BP), and is used by some validation test-suites as such. But Andy Lutomirski noticed that his test suite acted differently in kvm than on bare hardware. The reason is that kvm used an inexact test for the icebp instruction: it just assumed that an all-zero VM exit qualification value meant that the VM exit was due to icebp. That is not unlike the guess that do_debug() does for the actual exception handling case, but it's purely a heuristic, not an absolute rule. do_debug() does it because it wants to ascribe _some_ reasons to the #DB that happened, and an empty %dr6 value means that 'icebp' is the most likely casue and we have no better information. But kvm can just do it right, because unlike the do_debug() case, kvm actually sees the real reason for the #DB in the VM-exit interruption information field. So instead of relying on an inexact heuristic, just use the actual VM exit information that says "it was 'icebp'". Right now the 'icebp' instruction isn't technically documented by Intel, but that will hopefully change. The special "privileged software exception" information _is_ actually mentioned in the Intel SDM, even though the cause of it isn't enumerated.
