[Impact]
* Under certain conditions (such as when selinux is enabled and
probably other ways) xfsprogs on Trusty may report a error "illegal
inode type" and SIGABRT, generating a coredump as follow :
sing host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".
Core was generated by `xfs_logprint -c /dev/mapper/image-glance'.
Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
when more than one flag is set on f->ilf_fields.
[Explanation]
As we speak, the switch() statement is doing a Binary AND between
ifl_fields & XFS_ILOG_NONCORE.
switch (f->ilf_fields & XFS_ILOG_NONCORE) {
XFS_ILOG_NONCORE being the sum of a Binary OR for all the Inode changes
to log:
#define XFS_ILOG_NONCORE (XFS_ILOG_DDATA | XFS_ILOG_DEXT | \
XFS_ILOG_DBROOT | XFS_ILOG_DEV | \
XFS_ILOG_UUID | XFS_ILOG_ADATA | \
XFS_ILOG_AEXT | XFS_ILOG_ABROOT)
When more than 1 flag is set in "ifl_fields"
(Example took from the coredump in gdb "ilf_fields = 133")
----------------------------------
#define XFS_ILOG_DDATA 0x002 /* log i_df.if_data */
#define XFS_ILOG_DEXT 0x004 /* log i_df.if_extents */
#define XFS_ILOG_DBROOT 0x008 /* log i_df.i_broot */
#define XFS_ILOG_DEV 0x010 /* log the dev field */
#define XFS_ILOG_UUID 0x020 /* log the uuid field */
#define XFS_ILOG_ADATA 0x040 /* log i_af.if_data */
#define XFS_ILOG_AEXT 0x080 /* log i_af.if_extents */
#define XFS_ILOG_ABROOT 0x100 /* log i_af.i_broot */
ifl_field = 133 & XFS_ILOG_NONCORE= 510 = 132
----------------------------------
and cannot match any case statement based on the inode flags value above
and has no choice but to use default: statement because none of them are
true and call xlog_panic().
[Test Case]
1) Create a XFS device (dev/vdb1)
2) apt-get dist-upgrade
3) Remove apparmor # To avoid potential conflict with selinux.
4) Reboot
5) Installed selinux # so that data+attr is set, and logprinting.
6) Reboot
7) Run xfs_logprint against /dev/vdb1
- sudo xfs_logprint -c /dev/vdb1
There is probably other ways but that is the one I used based on the git
commit log:
"I've tested this by a simple test such as creating one
file on an selinux box, so that data+attr is set, and
logprinting"
[Regression Potential]
* This is a rework of "xlog_print_trans_inode()" to handle more than
one flag on f->ilf_fields if set in order to stop going in error and
abort when facing the situation. The change has been there for a while
now (Jan 2013).
The rework offer a better detection instead of a one size fits all, and
provide various switch() statement context and appropriate actions.
It is also capable to handle multiply-logged inode fields which current
Trusty version can't handle.
[Other Info]
* The patch never land in Trusty because the package was a copy from
it's predecessor release, saucy, and never been SRU since then.
* Upstream commit:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfsprogs-dev.git/commit/?id=dda4129
* Trusty AFFECTED ONLY.

[Orig Description]
It has been brought to my attention that the following :
"
The command 'xfs_logprint -c <DEVICE>' coredump on Trusty and display the error
:
xlog_print_trans_inode: illegal inode type
