mm/filemap: avoid buffered read/write race to read inconsistent data
commit e2c27b803bb664748e090d99042ac128b3f88d92 upstream. The following concurrency may cause the data read to be inconsistent with the data on disk: cpu1 cpu2 ------------------------------|------------------------------ // Buffered write 2048 from 0 ext4_buffered_write_iter generic_perform_write copy_page_from_iter_atomic ext4_da_write_end ext4_da_do_write_end block_write_end __block_commit_write folio_mark_uptodate // Buffered read 4096 from 0 smp_wmb() ext4_file_read_iter set_bit(PG_uptodate, folio_flags) generic_file_read_iter i_size_write // 2048 filemap_read unlock_page(page) filemap_get_pages filemap_get_read_batch folio_test_uptodate(folio) ret = test_bit(PG_uptodate, folio_flags) if (ret) smp_rmb(); // Ensure that the data in page 0-2048 is up-to-date. // New buffered write 2048 from 2048 ext4_buffered_write_iter generic_perform_write copy_page_from_iter_atomic ext4_da_write_end ext4_da_do_write_end block_write_end __block_commit_write folio_mark_uptodate smp_wmb() set_bit(PG_uptodate, folio_flags) i_size_write // 4096 unlock_page(page) isize = i_size_read(inode) // 4096 // Read the latest isize 4096, but without smp_rmb(), there may be // Load-Load disorder resulting in the data in the 2048-4096 range // in the page is not up-to-date. copy_page_to_iter // copyout 4096 In the concurrency above, we read the updated i_size, but there is no read barrier to ensure that the data in the page is the same as the i_size at this point, so we may copy the unsynchronized page out. Hence adding the missing read memory barrier to fix this. This is a Load-Load reordering issue, which only occurs on some weak mem-ordering architectures (e.g. ARM64, ALPHA), but not on strong mem-ordering architectures (e.g. X86). And theoretically the problem doesn't only happen on ext4, filesystems that call filemap_read() but don't hold inode lock (e.g. btrfs, f2fs, ubifs ...) will have this problem, while filesystems with inode lock (e.g. xfs, nfs) won't have this problem.
