[PATCH] dm: Fix panic on shrinking device size

From: Jun'ichi Nomura
Date: Tue Oct 30 2007 - 16:34:46 EST


Hi,

This patch fixes a panic on shrinking DM device, due to reference
outside of the DM table.

The problem occurs only if there is outstanding I/O to the removed
part of the device.

The bug is in that __clone_and_map() assumes dm_table_find_target()
always returns a valid pointer.
It may fail if a BIO is sent from the block layer but its target
sector is already not in the DM table.

This patch tidies up dm_table_find_target() to return NULL
instead of bogus pointer for failure case.
Then __clone_and_map() can check the return value of it
and make the BIO return with -EIO.
target_message() in dm-ioctl.c, the only other user of
dm_table_find_target(), is modified to use the return value of it, too.

Sample test script to trigger oops:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

FILE=$(mktemp)
LODEV=$(losetup -f)
MAP=$(basename ${FILE})
SIZE=4M

dd if=/dev/zero of=${FILE} bs=${SIZE} count=1
losetup ${LODEV} ${FILE}

echo "0 $(blockdev --getsz ${LODEV}) linear ${LODEV} 0" |dmsetup create ${MAP}
dmsetup suspend ${MAP}
echo "0 1 linear ${LODEV} 0" |dmsetup load ${MAP}
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/${MAP} bs=${SIZE} count=1 &
echo "Wait til dd push some I/O"
sleep 5
dmsetup resume ${MAP}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
