In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm cache: prevent BUG_ON by blocking retries on failed device resumes
A cache device failing to resume due to mapping errors should not be
retried, as the failure leaves a partially initialized policy object.
Repeating the resume operation risks triggering BUG_ON when reloading
cache mappings into the incomplete policy object.
Reproduce steps:
1. create a cache metadata consisting of 512 or more cache blocks,
with some mappings stored in the first array block of the mapping
array. Here we use cache_restore v1.0 to build the metadata.
cat <<EOF >> cmeta.xml
<superblock uuid="" block_size="128" nr_cache_blocks="512" \
policy="smq" hint_width="4">
<mappings>
<mapping cache_block="0" origin_block="0" dirty="false"/>
</mappings>
</superblock>
EOF
dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0"
cache_restore -i cmeta.xml -o /dev/mapper/cmeta --metadata-version=2
dmsetup remove cmeta
2. wipe the second array block of the mapping array to simulate
data degradations.
mapping_root=$(dd if=/dev/sdc bs=1c count=8 skip=192 \
2>/dev/null | hexdump -e '1/8 "%u\n"')
ablock=$(dd if=/dev/sdc bs=1c count=8 skip=$((4096*mapping_root+2056)) \
2>/dev/null | hexdump -e '1/8 "%u\n"')
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=4k count=1 seek=$ablock
3. try bringing up the cache device. The resume is expected to fail
due to the broken array block.
dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0"
dmsetup create cdata --table "0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup create corig --table "0 524288 linear /dev/sdc 262144"
dmsetup create cache --notable
dmsetup load cache --table "0 524288 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0"
dmsetup resume cache
4. try resuming the cache again. An unexpected BUG_ON is triggered
while loading cache mappings.
dmsetup resume cache
