[PATCH 3/7] xfs: protect S_DAX transitions in XFS read path

From: Ross Zwisler
Date: Mon Sep 25 2017 - 19:15:40 EST


In the current XFS read I/O path we check IS_DAX() in xfs_file_read_iter()
to decide whether to do DAX I/O, direct I/O or buffered I/O. This check is
done without holding the XFS_IOLOCK, though, which means that if we allow
S_DAX to be manipulated via the inode flag we can run into this race:

CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
xfs_file_read_iter()
IS_DAX() << returns false
xfs_ioctl_setattr()
xfs_ioctl_setattr_dax_invalidate()
xfs_ilock(XFS_MMAPLOCK|XFS_IOLOCK)
sets S_DAX
releases XFS_MMAPLOCK and XFS_IOLOCK
xfs_file_buffered_aio_read()
does buffered I/O to DAX inode, death

Fix this by ensuring that we only check S_DAX when we hold the XFS_IOLOCK
in the read path.
