Re: [PATCH] btrfs: bugfix: handle FS_IOC32_{GETFLAGS,SETFLAGS,GETVERSION} in btrfs_ioctl

From: Thomas Rohwer

Hello,

I've investigated this now, and it seems to be the pointer-type clone_sources
member of struct btrfs_ioctl_send_args. I can't think of a perfect way to fix
this, but it might not be *too* ugly to:
- replace the current clone_sources with a u64 that must always be (u64)-1;
this causes older kernels to error cleanly if called with a new ioctl data
- use the top 1 or 2 bits of flags to indicate sizeof(void*) as it appears to
userspace OR just use up reserved[0] for pointer size:
io_send.ptr_size = sizeof(void*);
- replace one of the reserved fields with the new clone_sources

The way it was done for receive seems like it might not work for non-x86
compat interfaces (eg, MIPS n32) - but I could be wrong.

Thoughts?

I also encountered that problem with send. I posted the following a while ago to
comp.file-systems.btrfs, but never got any replies. The patch works for me (I used
it on my system in some cases), but is not extensively tested.

Sincerely,

Thomas Rohwer





Hello,

I am using as kernel Linux 4.1.3 (64bit) and btrfs-prog version 4.0 (32 bit user space).
I wanted to use send/receive with btrfs for the first time today and I got the following error:

humbur:~# btrfs send /snap > /dev/null
At subvol /snap
ERROR: send ioctl failed with -25: Inappropriate ioctl for device
ERROR: failed to read stream from kernel. Bad file descriptor


Investigating the source, I noticed that probably the problem is the member clone_sources in the structure

struct btrfs_ioctl_send_args {
__s64 send_fd; /* in */
__u64 clone_sources_count; /* in */
__u64 __user *clone_sources; /* in */
__u64 parent_root; /* in */
__u64 flags; /* in */
__u64 reserved[4]; /* in */
};

in include/uapi/linux/btrfs.h and the missing adaption code in fs/btrfs/ioctl.c. The member clone_sources is only 32 bit wide in case of 32 bit user space.
For the ioctl RECEIVED_SUBVOL somebody already added code for the in this case also necessary translation. I took this as a template and
wrote a patch (see below). The patch compiles and with the new kernel I seem to get valid data with send (I have to read it back yet,
but I get about the expected amount and structure).

This is a proof of concept patch; for example the compiler currently warns for
(args64->clone_sources = (__u64*)args32->clone_sources;
and I would have to investigate how to properly convert the pointer. Further there are probably some issues with the formating of the source code.
I also have not tested the 32bit/32bit 64bit/64bit userspace/kernel combinations.
If there is interest, I can resubmit an improved patch. Please CC me in replies, since I have not subscribed to the list.


Sincerely,

Thomas Rohwer
