[PATCH] CHROMIUM: ecryptfs: sync before truncating lower inode

[Andrey Pronin]

If the updated ecryptfs header data is not written to disk before
the lower file is truncated, a crash may leave the filesystem
in the state when the lower file truncation is journaled, while
the changes to the ecryptfs header are lost (if the underlying
filesystem is ext4 in data=ordered mode, for example). As a result,
upon remounting and repairing the file may have a pre-truncation
length and garbage data after the post-truncation end.

To reproduce, make a snapshot of the underlying ext4 filesystem
mounted with data=ordered while asynchronously truncating to zero a
group of files in ecryptfs mounted on top. Mount ecryptfs for the
snapshot and check the contents of the group of files that was
being truncated. The following script reproduces it in almost 100%
of runs:

cd /tmp
mkdir -p ./loop
dd if=/dev/zero of=./file.img bs=1M count=10
PW=secret

LOOPDEV=`losetup --find --show ./file.img`
mkfs -t ext4 $LOOPDEV
mount -t ext4 -o rw,nodev,relatime,seclabel,commit=600,data=ordered\
 $LOOPDEV ./loop
mkdir -p ./loop/vault ./loop/mount
mount -t ecryptfs -o rw,relatime,seclabel,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,\
ecryptfs_key_bytes=16,ecryptfs_unlink_sigs,ecryptfs_passthrough=no,\
ecryptfs_enable_filename_crypto=no,passphrase_passwd="$PW",no_sig_cache\
 ./loop/vault ./loop/mount
for i in `seq 1 100`; do echo $i > ./loop/mount/test.$i; done
sync
for i in `seq 100 -1 1`; do truncate -s 0 ./loop/mount/test.$i; done &
sleep 0.1; sync; cp ./file.img ./file.snap; sleep 1
umount ./loop/mount
umount ./loop
losetup -d $LOOPDEV

LOOPDEV=`losetup --find --show ./file.snap`
mount -t ext4 -o rw,nodev,relatime,seclabel,commit=600,data=ordered\
 $LOOPDEV ./loop
mount -t ecryptfs -o rw,relatime,seclabel,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,\
ecryptfs_key_bytes=16,ecryptfs_unlink_sigs,ecryptfs_passthrough=no,\
ecryptfs_enable_filename_crypto=no,passphrase_passwd="$PW",no_sig_cache\
 ./loop/vault ./loop/mount
for i in `seq 1 100`; do
  if [ `stat -c %s ./loop/mount/test.$i` != 0 ] &&
     [ `cat ./loop/mount/test.$i` != $i ]; then
       echo -n "!!! garbage at $i: ";  cat ./loop/mount/test.$i; echo
  fi
done
umount ./loop/mount
umount ./loop
losetup -d $LOOPDEV
