[v6.6][PATCH 39/57] eventfs: Do ctx->pos update for all iterations in eventfs_iterate()

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Feb 06 2024 - 07:22:51 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The ctx->pos was only updated when it added an entry, but the "skip to
current pos" check (c--) happened for every loop regardless of if the
entry was added or not. This inconsistency caused readdir to be incorrect.

It was due to:

for (i = 0; i < ei->nr_entries; i++) {

if (c > 0) {
c--;
continue;
}

mutex_lock(&eventfs_mutex);
/* If ei->is_freed then just bail here, nothing more to do */
if (ei->is_freed) {
mutex_unlock(&eventfs_mutex);
goto out;
}
r = entry->callback(name, &mode, &cdata, &fops);
mutex_unlock(&eventfs_mutex);

[..]
ctx->pos++;
}

But this can cause the iterator to return a file that was already read.
That's because of the way the callback() works. Some events may not have
all files, and the callback can return 0 to tell eventfs to skip the file
for this directory.

for instance, we have:

# ls /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ftrace/function
format hist hist_debug id inject

and

# ls /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/
enable filter format hist hist_debug id inject trigger

Where the function directory is missing "enable", "filter" and
"trigger". That's because the callback() for events has:

static int event_callback(const char *name, umode_t *mode, void **data,
const struct file_operations **fops)
{
struct trace_event_file *file = *data;
struct trace_event_call *call = file->event_call;

[..]

/*
* Only event directories that can be enabled should have
* triggers or filters, with the exception of the "print"
* event that can have a "trigger" file.
*/
if (!(call->flags & TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE)) {
if (call->class->reg && strcmp(name, "enable") == 0) {
*mode = TRACE_MODE_WRITE;
*fops = &ftrace_enable_fops;
return 1;
}

if (strcmp(name, "filter") == 0) {
*mode = TRACE_MODE_WRITE;
*fops = &ftrace_event_filter_fops;
return 1;
}
}

if (!(call->flags & TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE) ||
strcmp(trace_event_name(call), "print") == 0) {
if (strcmp(name, "trigger") == 0) {
*mode = TRACE_MODE_WRITE;
*fops = &event_trigger_fops;
return 1;
}
}
[..]
return 0;
}

Where the function event has the TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE set.

This means that the entries array elements for "enable", "filter" and
"trigger" when called on the function event will have the callback return
0 and not 1, to tell eventfs to skip these files for it.

Because the "skip to current ctx->pos" check happened for all entries, but
the ctx->pos++ only happened to entries that exist, it would confuse the
reading of a directory. Which would cause:

# ls /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ftrace/function/
format hist hist hist_debug hist_debug id inject inject

The missing "enable", "filter" and "trigger" caused ls to show "hist",
"hist_debug" and "inject" twice.

Update the ctx->pos for every iteration to keep its update and the "skip"
update consistent. This also means that on error, the ctx->pos needs to be
decremented if it was incremented without adding something.
