Subject: [Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 v2 3/3] dm-qcow2: fix SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA using an image freed by a merge
Date: Tue,  3 Nov 2026 10:08:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103090813.166986-4-den@openvz.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261103090813.166986-1-den@openvz.org>

From: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org>

qcow2_llseek_hole() starts at tgt->top and follows qcow2->lower, parsing
the metadata of each image, with nothing keeping the images alive. dm
core holds only the table SRCU around the call, which does not keep a
target message out. merge_backward complete unlinks the merged image,
waits in qcow2_inflight_ref_switch() for the qios holding refs and
destroys the image, so a seek already walking it goes on with a freed
struct qcow2, its md pages and its file. A SEEK_DATA scan of a large
sparse image keeps the walk running long enough to hit it.

Hold a per-target rw_semaphore for read over the walk, and for write
while merge_backward complete unlinks and destroys the image. An
inflight ref held over the walk would also do, but every inflight ref
switch would then wait for the whole scan, including the one starting a
backward merge with the top image paused, which stalls guest I/O for as
long as the scan runs.
