Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: quota: fix to avoid warning in dquot_writeback_dquots() F2FS-fs (dm-59): checkpoint=enable has some unwritten data. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 8013 at fs/quota/dquot.c:691 dquot_writeback_dquots+0x2fc/0x308 pc : dquot_writeback_dquots+0x2fc/0x308 lr : f2fs_quota_sync+0xcc/0x1c4 Call trace: dquot_writeback_dquots+0x2fc/0x308 f2fs_quota_sync+0xcc/0x1c4 f2fs_write_checkpoint+0x3d4/0x9b0 f2fs_issue_checkpoint+0x1bc/0x2c0 f2fs_sync_fs+0x54/0x150 f2fs_do_sync_file+0x2f8/0x814 __f2fs_ioctl+0x1960/0x3244 f2fs_ioctl+0x54/0xe0 __arm64_sys_ioctl+0xa8/0xe4 invoke_syscall+0x58/0x114 checkpoint and f2fs_remount may race as below, resulting triggering warning in dquot_writeback_dquots(). atomic write remount • do_remount • down_write(&sb->s_umount); • f2fs_remount • ioctl • f2fs_do_sync_file • f2fs_sync_fs • f2fs_write_checkpoint • block_operations • locked = down_read_trylock(&sbi->sb->s_umount) : fail to lock due to the write lock was held by remount • up_write(&sb->s_umount); • f2fs_quota_sync • dquot_writeback_dquots • WARN_ON_ONCE(!rwsem_is_locked(&sb->s_umount)) : trigger warning because s_umount lock was unlocked by remount If checkpoint comes from mount/umount/remount/freeze/quotactl, caller of checkpoint has already held s_umount lock, calling dquot_writeback_dquots() in the context should be safe. So let's record task to sbi->umount_lock_holder, so that checkpoint can know whether the lock has held in the context or not by checking current w/ it. In addition, in order to not misrepresent caller of checkpoint, we should not allow to trigger async checkpoint for those callers: mount/umount/remount/ freeze/quotactl.
