[PATCH 2/2] SUNRPC: Check svc pool percpu counter allocation

Newsgroups gmane.linux.nfs
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Chuck Lever <[email protected]>

__svc_create() initializes three per-pool percpu_counter stats and
ignores every return value. On SMP, percpu_counter_init() fails when
__alloc_percpu_gfp() cannot satisfy the allocation, leaving the failed
counter with fbc->counters == NULL and its embedded raw_spinlock_t,
list_head, and count never initialized. __svc_create() returns the
half-constructed svc_serv to nfsd, lockd, or the NFS callback service
anyway.

Once that service is live, the hot-path increments in
svc_xprt_enqueue(), svc_handle_xprt(), and
svc_pool_wake_idle_thread() reach a counter whose backing pointer is
NULL. The pointer is a per-cpu offset, so the access does not fault:
it resolves to offset zero of the current CPU's per-cpu area and
silently corrupts whatever variable lives there. A
/proc/fs/nfsd/pool_stats read walks the same NULL per-cpu storage and
returns garbage, and on CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK or lockdep it splats on
the never-initialized lock.

Creating the broken service requires a percpu allocation failure during
RPC server startup, so it is reachable only by a local administrator
under memory pressure or fault injection; a remote peer cannot induce
the bad state on its own.

Initialize the three adjacent pool counters with one checked
percpu_counter_init_many() call and fail __svc_create() when the
allocation fails, unwinding the counters for pools already set up. Use
the matching percpu_counter_destroy_many() at teardown so the single
per-cpu allocation is freed exactly once.
