The EFI log item would have its ref count initialized to 2 (One for the CIL/AIL and one for EFD). In the "use after free" case the EFI was not committed to the CIL. At this point, we don't have any entity owning a reference to the log item since the EFI was not committed to the CIL nor was the EFD created. Hence IMHO, freeing the log item is the right approach. Also, the cleanup function (i.e. xfs_extent_free_abort_intent()) would decrement the ref count by 1 i.e. Its refcount would go from the initial value of 2 to 1. Hence the cleanup function won't free the EFI log item causing a memory leak. > > > This commit fixes the bug by invoking xfs_defer_trans_abort() only when > > the log items in the per-transaction list have been committed to the > > CIL.

And that's part of what has always been wrong with this code - it takes references for things that don't really have references yet, instead of taking them when the EFI is actually referenced. Hence we have to hack around that with things like ignoring the reference count when we get an abort signal, because we haven't reference counted the object properly. > In the "use after free" case the EFI was not > committed to the CIL.

Hence IMHO, freeing the log item is the right approach. No, we clearly have a reference - the deferops structure has a reference to it. If it didn't have a reference, then we wouldn't have a use after free situation.... > Also, the cleanup function (i.e. xfs_extent_free_abort_intent()) would > decrement the ref count by 1 i.e. Its refcount would go from the initial value > of 2 to 1. Hence the cleanup function won't free the EFI log item causing a > memory leak. No, then the xfs_extent_free_abort_intent() call releases it, dropping the remaining reference that was intended for the EFD which, because we aborted, will never take over control of that reference. i.e. the two references that are created at initialisation are for the EFI itself as it passes through the CIL and journal commit, and the second reference is used by the defer_ops it is attached to and then handed to the EFD for it's pass through the CIL and journal commit. If we never commit the EFI, then we need to release that reference (on abort), and then we need to clean up the extra reference that is destined for the EFD which is held by the deferops. That's done by xfs_extent_free_abort_intent(). And I'm guessing that we need to make sure the same fix goes through all the other items that are used as deferops intents that were modeled on the EFI/EFD infrastructure, too. Cheers, Dave.

Thanks for the explaination. I will work on writing up a patch to fix this issue for all the log items which have corresponding intent and done items.

Here, if the XFS_MOUNT_FS_SHUTDOWN flag is set, we invoke io_unlock() operation for each of the log items in the per-transction list. For "extent free" log items xfs_efi_item_unlock() gets invoked which then frees the xfs_efi_log_item. 3. xfs_defer_trans_roll() then invokes xfs_defer_trans_abort(). Since the xfs_defer_pending->dfp_intent is still set to the "extent free" intent item, we invoke xfs_extent_free_abort_intent(). This accesses the previously freed xfs_efi_log_item to decrement the ref count. This commit fixes the bug by invoking xfs_defer_trans_abort() only when the log items in the per-transaction list have been committed to the CIL. The log item "committed" status is being tracked by xfs_defer_ops->dop_committed. This was the behaviour prior to commit 3ab78df2a59a485f479d26852a060acfd8c4ecd7 (xfs: rework xfs_bmap_free callers to use xfs_defer_ops).
