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.
