In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: fix to don't set SB_RDONLY in f2fs_handle_critical_error() syzbot reports a f2fs bug as below: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 58 at kernel/rcu/sync.c:177 rcu_sync_dtor+0xcd/0x180 kernel/rcu/sync.c:177 CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 58 Comm: kworker/1:2 Not tainted 6.10.0-syzkaller-12562-g1722389b0d86 #0 Workqueue: events destroy_super_work RIP: 0010:rcu_sync_dtor+0xcd/0x180 kernel/rcu/sync.c:177 Call Trace: percpu_free_rwsem+0x41/0x80 kernel/locking/percpu-rwsem.c:42 destroy_super_work+0xec/0x130 fs/super.c:282 process_one_work kernel/workqueue.c:3231 [inline] process_scheduled_works+0xa2c/0x1830 kernel/workqueue.c:3312 worker_thread+0x86d/0xd40 kernel/workqueue.c:3390 kthread+0x2f0/0x390 kernel/kthread.c:389 ret_from_fork+0x4b/0x80 arch/x86/kernel/process.c:147 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:244 As Christian Brauner pointed out [1]: the root cause is f2fs sets SB_RDONLY flag in internal function, rather than setting the flag covered w/ sb->s_umount semaphore via remount procedure, then below race condition causes this bug: - freeze_super() - sb_wait_write(sb, SB_FREEZE_WRITE) - sb_wait_write(sb, SB_FREEZE_PAGEFAULT) - sb_wait_write(sb, SB_FREEZE_FS) - f2fs_handle_critical_error - sb->s_flags |= SB_RDONLY - thaw_super - thaw_super_locked - sb_rdonly() is true, so it skips sb_freeze_unlock(sb, SB_FREEZE_FS) - deactivate_locked_super Since f2fs has almost the same logic as ext4 [2] when handling critical error in filesystem if it mounts w/ errors=remount-ro option: - set CP_ERROR_FLAG flag which indicates filesystem is stopped - record errors to superblock - set SB_RDONLY falg Once we set CP_ERROR_FLAG flag, all writable interfaces can detect the flag and stop any further updates on filesystem. So, it is safe to not set SB_RDONLY flag, let's remove the logic and keep in line w/ ext4 [3].
