From: Yu Kuai
Date: Tue Aug 24 2021 - 10:02:30 EST


Changes in v3:
- v2 can't fix the problem thoroughly, add patch 3-4 to this series.
- modify descriptions.
- patch 5 is just a cleanup
Changes in v2:
- as Bart suggested, add a new helper function for drivers to get
request by tag.


Our syzkaller report a uaf in nbd_read_stat():

1) At first, a normal io is submitted and completed with scheduler:

internel_tag = blk_mq_get_tag -> get tag from sched_tags
blk_mq_rq_ctx_init
sched_tags->rq[internel_tag] = sched_tag->static_rq[internel_tag]
...
blk_mq_get_driver_tag
__blk_mq_get_driver_tag -> get tag from tags
tags->rq[tag] = sched_tag->static_rq[internel_tag]

So, both tags->rq[tag] and sched_tags->rq[internel_tag] are pointing
to the request: sched_tags->static_rq[internal_tag]. Even if the
io is finished.

2) nbd server send a reply with random tag directly:

recv_work
nbd_read_stat
blk_mq_tag_to_rq(tags, tag)
rq = tags->rq[tag]

3) if the sched_tags->static_rq is freed:

blk_mq_sched_free_requests
blk_mq_free_rqs(q->tag_set, hctx->sched_tags, i)
blk_mq_clear_rq_mapping(set, tags, hctx_idx);

4) Then, nbd continue to use the freed request in nbd_read_stat()

This patchset try to fix the problem by following apporch:

- add a new interface blk_mq_get_rq_by_tag() to replace blk_mq_tag_to_rq(),
it will make sure the return request is started and won't be freed.
- nbd client won't handle the reply if it didn't send the corresponding
request message.
- nbd won't complete a request multiple times

Yu Kuai (5):
blk-mq: add a new interface to get request by tag
nbd: convert to use blk_mq_get_rq_by_tag()
nbd: don't handle response without a corresponding request message
nbd: make sure request completion won't concurrent
nbd: don't start request if nbd_queue_rq() failed
