FreeBSD-EN-22:10.zfs Errata Notice
The FreeBSD Project
Topic: ZFS writes fail to update file size
Category: contrib
Module: zfs
Announced: 2022-03-15
Affects: FreeBSD 13.0
Corrected: 2022-02-21 14:59:58 UTC (stable/13, 13.0-STABLE)
2022-03-15 18:09:52 UTC (releng/13.0, 13.0-RELEASE-p8)
For general information regarding FreeBSD Errata Notices and Security
Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security
branches, and the following sections, please visit
<URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
I. Background
ZFS is one of several filesystems available on FreeBSD. ZFS supports
many advanced features, including checksumming, transparent compression,
and snapshots.
FreeBSD's virtual filesystem layer includes a deadlock-avoidance
mechanism to handle situations where a read(2) or write(2) system call
is invoked and the user-supplied buffer lies within a mmap(2)-created
mapping of the target file. Individual filesystems, such as ZFS, must
implement a portion of the deadlock avoidance protocol.
II. Problem Description
The implementation of the deadlock avoidance protocol in ZFS's
implementation of write(2) was incorrect and could, in certain
circumstances, cause an appending write to a file to fail to update the
file size despite returning success to the caller.
III. Impact
The bug may cause application misbehavior; the precise effects depend
on the nature of the application triggering the bug.
IV. Workaround
No workaround is available, but systems not using ZFS are not affected.
V. Solution
Upgrade your system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security
branch (releng) dated after the correction date and reboot.
Perform one of the following:
1) To update your system via a binary patch:
Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the amd64, i386, or
(on FreeBSD 13 and later) arm64 platforms can be updated via the
freebsd-update(8) utility:
# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install
# shutdown -r +10min "Rebooting for an errata update"
2) To update your system via a source code patch:
The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable
FreeBSD release branches.
a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-22:10/zfs.patch
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-22:10/zfs.patch.asc
# gpg --verify zfs.patch.asc
b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root:
# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch
c) Recompile your kernel as described in
<URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the
system.
VI. Correction details
This issue is corrected by the corresponding Git commit hash or Subversion
revision number in the following stable and release branches:
Branch/path Hash Revision
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
stable/13/ b55a7f3422d7 stable/13-n249621
releng/13.0/ 9dc74c5a4b3d releng/13.0-n244783
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Run the following command to see which files were modified by a
particular commit:
# git show --stat <commit hash>
Or visit the following URL, replacing NNNNNN with the hash:
<URL:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=NNNNNN>
To determine the commit count in a working tree (for comparison against
nNNNNNN in the table above), run:
# git rev-list --count --first-parent HEAD
