[RFC PATCH v2 2/2] blk-mq: Lockout tagset iter when freeing rqs

From: John Garry
Date: Thu Dec 17 2020 - 06:12:39 EST


References to old IO sched requests are currently cleared from the
tagset when freeing those requests; switching elevator or changing
request queue depth is such a scenario in which this occurs.

However, this does not stop the potentially racy behaviour of freeing
and clearing a request reference between a tagset iterator getting a
reference to a request and actually dereferencing that request.

Such a use-after-free can be triggered, as follows:

This is found experimentally by running fio on 2x SCSI disks - 1x disk
holds the root partition. Userspace is constantly triggering the tagset
iter from reading the root (gen)disk partition info. And so if the IO
sched is constantly changed on the other disk, eventually the UAF occurs,
as described above.

For experiments sake, a mdelay() is added to trigger the UAF within a
sane timeframe, as follows:

- if (rq && rq->q == hctx->queue && rq->mq_hctx == hctx)
- return iter_data->fn(hctx, rq, iter_data->data, reserved);
+ if (rq) {
+ mdelay(50);
+ if (rq->q == hctx->queue && rq->mq_hctx == hctx)
+ return iter_data->fn(hctx, rq, iter_data->data, reserved);
+ }
return true;
}

This delay increases the window for the iter in between getting the
request reference and actually dereferencing it.

To solve this problem, lockout the per-hw queue tagset iterators while
freeing IO sched tags.
