blk_mq_tag_to_rq() can only ensure to return valid request in

2) client receive respond message from server

If step 1) is missing, blk_mq_tag_to_rq() will return a stale
request, which might be freed. Thus convert to use
blk_mq_find_and_get_req() to make sure the returned request is not
freed.
But NBD_CMD_INFLIGHT has been added for checking if the reply is
expected, do we still need blk_mq_find_and_get_req() for covering
this issue? BTW, request and its payload is pre-allocated, so there
isn't real use-after-free.
Hi, Ming
Checking NBD_CMD_INFLIGHT relied on the request founded by tag is valid,
not the other way round.
nbd_read_stat
req = blk_mq_tag_to_rq()
cmd = blk_mq_rq_to_pdu(req)
mutex_lock(cmd->lock)
checking NBD_CMD_INFLIGHT
Request and its payload is pre-allocated, and either req->ref or cmd->lock can
serve the same purpose here. Once cmd->lock is held, you can check if the cmd is
inflight or not. If it isn't inflight, just return -ENOENT. Is there any
problem to handle in this way?
Hi, Ming
in nbd_read_stat:
1) get a request by tag first
2) get nbd_cmd by the request
3) hold cmd->lock and check if cmd is inflight
If we want to check if the cmd is inflight in step 3), we have to do
setp 1) and 2) first. As I explained in patch 0, blk_mq_tag_to_rq()
can't make sure the returned request is not freed:
nbd_read_stat
blk_mq_sched_free_requests
blk_mq_free_rqs
blk_mq_tag_to_rq
-> get rq before clear mapping
blk_mq_clear_rq_mapping
__free_pages -> rq is freed
blk_mq_request_started -> UAF
If the above can happen, blk_mq_find_and_get_req() may not fix it too, just
Hi, Ming
Why can't blk_mq_find_and_get_req() fix it? I can't think of any
scenario that might have problem currently.
wondering why not take the following simpler way for avoiding the UAF?
diff --git a/drivers/block/nbd.c b/drivers/block/nbd.c

We can't make sure freeze_queue is called before this, thus this approch
can't fix the problem, right?
