[PATCH 5.0 46/52] loop: access lo_backing_file only when the loop device is Lo_bound

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

5.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dongli Zhang <dongli.zhang@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit f7c8a4120eedf24c36090b7542b179ff7a649219 upstream.

Commit 758a58d0bc67 ("loop: set GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN after
blkdev_reread_part()") separates "lo->lo_backing_file = NULL" and
"lo->lo_state = Lo_unbound" into different critical regions protected by
loop_ctl_mutex.

However, there is below race that the NULL lo->lo_backing_file would be
accessed when the backend of a loop is another loop device, e.g., loop0's
backend is a file, while loop1's backend is loop0.

loop0's backend is file            loop1's backend is loop0

__loop_clr_fd()
  mutex_lock(&loop_ctl_mutex);
  lo->lo_backing_file = NULL; --> set to NULL
  mutex_unlock(&loop_ctl_mutex);
                                   loop_set_fd()
                                     mutex_lock_killable(&loop_ctl_mutex);
                                     loop_validate_file()
                                       f = l->lo_backing_file; --> NULL
                                         access if loop0 is not Lo_unbound
  mutex_lock(&loop_ctl_mutex);
  lo->lo_state = Lo_unbound;
  mutex_unlock(&loop_ctl_mutex);

lo->lo_backing_file should be accessed only when the loop device is
Lo_bound.

In fact, the problem has been introduced already in commit 7ccd0791d985
("loop: Push loop_ctl_mutex down into loop_clr_fd()") after which
loop_validate_file() could see devices in Lo_rundown state with which it
did not count. It was harmless at that point but still.
