features/shard: Remove ctx from LRU in shard_forget
Problem: There is a race when the following two commands are executed on the mount in parallel from two different terminals on a sharded volume, which leads to use-after-free. Terminal-1: while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=file1 bs=1M count=4; done Terminal-2: while true; do cat file1 > /dev/null; done In the normal case this is the life-cycle of a shard-inode 1) Shard is added to LRU when it is first looked-up 2) For every operation on the shard it is moved up in LRU 3) When "unlink of the shard"/"LRU limit is hit" happens it is removed from LRU But we are seeing a race where the inode stays in Shard LRU even after it is forgotten which leads to Use-after-free and then some memory-corruptions. These are the steps: 1) Shard is added to LRU when it is first looked-up 2) For every operation on the shard it is moved up in LRU Reader-handler Truncate-handler 1) Reader handler needs shard-x to be read. 1) Truncate has just deleted shard-x 2) In shard_common_resolve_shards(), it does inode_resolve() and that leads to a hit in LRU, so it is going to call __shard_update_shards_inode_list() to move the inode to top of LRU 2) shard-x gets unlinked from the itable and inode_forget(inode, 0) is called to make sure the inode can be purged upon last unref 3) when __shard_update_shards_inode_list() is called it finds that the inode is not in LRU so it adds it back to the LRU-list Both these operations complete and call inode_unref(shard-x) which leads to the inode getting freed and forgotten, even when it is in Shard LRU list. When more inodes are added to LRU, use-after-free will happen and it leads to undefined behaviors. Fix: I see that the inode can be removed from LRU even by the protocol layers like gfapi/gNFS when LRU limit is reached. So it is better to add a check in shard_forget() to remove itself from LRU list if it exists.
