[We are still investigating if a CVE needs to be assigned.] We have a bug where the blocksize filter can lose the effects of an aligned write that happens in parallel with an overlapping unaligned write. In general, a client should be extremely cautious about overlapping writes; it is not NBD's fault which of the two writes lands on the disk (or even if both writes land partially, at block-level granularities on which write landed last). However, a client should still be able to assume that even when two writes partially overlap, the final state of the disk of the non-overlapping portion will be that of the one write explicitly touching that portion, rather than stale data from before either write touched that block. Fix the bug by switching the blocksize filter locking from a mutex to a rwlock. We still need mutual exclusion during all unaligned operations (whether reading or writing to the plugin), because we share the same bounce buffer among all such code, which we get via the mutual exclusion of wrlock. But we now also add in shared exclusion for aligned write-like operations (pwrite, trim, zero); these can operate in parallel with one another, but must not be allowed to fall in the window between when an overlapping unaligned operation has read from the plugin but not yet written, so that we do not end up re-writing stale contents that undo the portion of the aligned write that was outside the unaligned region [it's ironic that we only need this protection on write I/O, but get it by using the rdlock feature of the rwlock]. Read-like operations (pread, extents, cache) don't need to be protected from RMW operations, because it is already the user's problem if they execute parallel overlapping reads while modifying the same portion of the image; and they will still end up seeing either the state before or after the unaligned write, indistinguishable from if we had added more locking. Whether this lock favors rdlock (aka aligned pwrite) or wrlock (aka unaligned access) is implementation-defined by the pthread implementation; if we need to be more precise, we'll have to introduce our own rwlock implementation on top of lower-level primitives (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Readers%E2%80%93writer_lock mentions the use of two mutex to favor readers, or a condvar/mutex to favor writers). This is also not very fine-grained; it may turn out that we could get more performance if instead of locking the entire operation (across all clients, and regardless of whether the offsets overlap), we instead just lock metadata and then track whether a new operation overlaps with an existing unaligned operation, or even add in support for parallel unaligned operations by having more than one bounce buffer. But if performance truly matters, you're better off fixing the client to do aligned access in the first place, rather than needing the blocksize filter. Add a test that fails without the change to blocksize.c. With some carefully timed setups (using the delay filter to stall writes reaching the plugin, and the plugin itself to stall reads coming back from the plugin, so that we are reasonably sure of the overall timeline), we can demonstrate the bug present in the unpatched code, where an aligned write is lost when it lands in the wrong part of an unaligned RMW cycle; the fixed code instead shows that the overlapping operations were serialized. We may need to further tweak the test to be more reliable even under heavy load, but hopefully 2 seconds per stall (where a successful test requires 18 seconds) is sufficient for now.
