Linux Virtualization - Jul 2013 - [PATCH v3 5/9] virtio: console: return -ENODEV on all read operations after unplug

Hello,

This series fixes a few bugs and races with port unplug and the
various file operations: read(), write() and close().

I started coding up an alternative locking mechanism based on the
discussion earlier in this series, but some of what we already have
has to remain, and the new code is sufficiently different, so I'd
rather it bakes for a while, and I ensure there are no regressions wrt
the tests I have so far for a while as well.  Hopefully this will be
in time for the next merge window.

There's one use-after-free I spotted after sending the first two
versions: port_fops_release() calls send_control_msg(), which spins
till the host acknowledges receipt of the buffer.  While it's
spinning, if the device gets unplugged, the vqs go away, and the
spinning function never progresses, causing a softlockup.  This is
difficult to reproduce -- the host usually acknowledges the buffers
fast enough.  A couple of solutions for this case are possible:

1. Mark the control vq in use, and don't proceed with unplug till it's
   marked unused,
2. Similar to the various port-specific i and o vqs, don't spin, but
   queue the buffer and wait for the host to let us know it's done
   with it.

2nd is easier to implement, but 1st fits with the way I'm thinking of
restructuring the locking.  I'm not yet decided on which approach to
take, will think over it.

Other than that, this series does fix all the bugs I see with the
tests I have.  Indeed, the patches marked for stable@ fix all the bugs
too, and the other ones on top add locking where shared structures are
being used.

Please review and apply if appropriate,

v3
 * remove patch 5, "update private_data in struct file only on
   successful open" (Rusty)
 * remove patch 6, "fix race in port_fops_poll() and port unplug",
   (Rusty)
 * remove CC: stable from patches without reproducers

v2
 * add patch 11: Jason found a use-after-free in port unplug
 * patch 7 introduced a regression where the wake_up_interruptible was
   done before guest_connected and host_connected were set to false

There's a window between find_port_by_devt() returning a port and us
taking a kref on the port, where the port could get unplugged.  Fix it
by taking the reference in find_port_by_devt() itself.

Problem reported and analyzed by Mateusz Guzik.

Between open() being called and processed, the port can be unplugged.
Check if this happened, and bail out.

A simple test script to reproduce this is:

while true; do for i in $(seq 1 100); do echo $i > /dev/vport0p3; done; done;

This opens and closes the port a lot of times; unplugging the port while
this is happening triggers the bug.

We used to keep the port's char device structs and the /sys entries
around till the last reference to the port was dropped.  This is
actually unnecessary, and resulted in buggy behaviour:

1. Open port in guest
2. Hot-unplug port
3. Hot-plug a port with the same 'name' property as the unplugged one

This resulted in hot-plug being unsuccessful, as a port with the same
name already exists (even though it was unplugged).

This behaviour resulted in a warning message like this one:

-------------------8<---------------------------------------

-------------------8<---------------------------------------

Instead of relying on guest applications to release all references to
the ports, we should go ahead and unregister the port from all the core
layers.  Any open/read calls on the port will then just return errors,
and an unplug/plug operation on the host will succeed as expected.

This also caused buggy behaviour in case of the device removal (not just
a port): when the device was removed (which means all ports on that
device are removed automatically as well), the ports with active
users would clean up only when the last references were dropped -- and
it would be too late then to be referencing char device pointers,
resulting in oopses:

So clean up when we have all the context, and all that's left to do when
the references to the port have dropped is to free up the port struct
itself.

SIGIO should be sent when a port gets unplugged.  It should only be sent
to prcesses that have the port opened, and have asked for SIGIO to be
delivered.  We were clearing out guest_connected before calling
send_sigio_to_port(), resulting in a sigio not getting sent to
processes.

Fix by setting guest_connected to false after invoking the sigio
function.

If a port gets unplugged while a user is blocked on read(), -ENODEV is
returned.  However, subsequent read()s returned 0, indicating there's no
host-side connection (but not indicating the device went away).

This also happened when a port was unplugged and the user didn't have
any blocking operation pending.  If the user didn't monitor the SIGIO
signal, they won't have a chance to find out if the port went away.

Fix by returning -ENODEV on all read()s after the port gets unplugged.
write() already behaves this way.

Port unplug can race with close() in port_fops_release().
port_fops_release() already takes the necessary locks, ensure
unplug_port() does that too.

send_sigio_to_port() checks the value of guest_connected, which we
always modify under the inbuf_lock; make sure invocations of
send_sigio_to_port() have take the inbuf_lock around the call.

This fix is clearly correct, but what about the other find_port_by_*
