CVE-2022-49296

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ceph: fix possible deadlock when holding Fwb to get inline_data

1, mount with wsync. 2, create a file with O_RDWR, and the request was sent to mds.0:

ceph_atomic_open()–> ceph_mdsc_do_request(openc) finish_open(file, dentry, ceph_open)–> ceph_open()–> ceph_init_file()–> ceph_init_file_info()–> ceph_uninline_data()–> { … if (inline_version == 1 || /* initial version, no data */ inline_version == CEPH_INLINE_NONE) goto out_unlock; … }

The inline_version will be 1, which is the initial version for the new create file. And here the ci->i_inline_version will keep with 1, it's buggy.

3, buffer write to the file immediately:

ceph_write_iter()–> ceph_get_caps(file, need=Fw, want=Fb, …); generic_perform_write()–> a_ops->write_begin()–> ceph_write_begin()–> netfs_write_begin()–> netfs_begin_read()–> netfs_rreq_submit_slice()–> netfs_read_from_server()–> rreq->netfs_ops->issue_read()–> ceph_netfs_issue_read()–> { … if (ci->i_inline_version != CEPH_INLINE_NONE && ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline(subreq)) return; … } ceph_put_cap_refs(ci, Fwb);

The ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline() will send a getattr(Fsr) request to mds.1.

4, then the mds.1 will request the rd lock for CInode::filelock from the auth mds.0, the mds.0 will do the CInode::filelock state transation from excl –> sync, but it need to revoke the Fxwb caps back from the clients.

While the kernel client has aleady held the Fwb caps and waiting for the getattr(Fsr).

It's deadlock!
