dm-verity FEC: Fix RS FEC repair for roots unaligned to block size (take 2)
commit 6df90c02 upstream. This patch fixes an issue that was fixed in the commit df7b59ba ("dm verity: fix FEC for RS roots unaligned to block size") but later broken again in the commit 8ca7cab8 ("dm verity fec: fix misaligned RS roots IO") If the Reed-Solomon roots setting spans multiple blocks, the code does not use proper parity bytes and randomly fails to repair even trivial errors. This bug cannot happen if the sector size is multiple of RS roots setting (Android case with roots 2). The previous solution was to find a dm-bufio block size that is multiple of the device sector size and roots size. Unfortunately, the optimization in commit 8ca7cab8 ("dm verity fec: fix misaligned RS roots IO") is incorrect and uses data block size for some roots (for example, it uses 4096 block size for roots = 20). This patch uses a different approach: - It always uses a configured data block size for dm-bufio to avoid possible misaligned IOs. - and it caches the processed parity bytes, so it can join it if it spans two blocks. As the RS calculation is called only if an error is detected and the process is computationally intensive, copying a few more bytes should not introduce performance issues. The issue was reported to cryptsetup with trivial reproducer https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/-/issues/923 Reproducer (with roots=20): # create verity device with RS FEC dd if=/dev/urandom of=data.img bs=4096 count=8 status=none veritysetup format data.img hash.img --fec-device=fec.img --fec-roots=20 | \ awk '/^Root hash/{ print $3 }' >roothash # create an erasure that should always be repairable with this roots setting dd if=/dev/zero of=data.img conv=notrunc bs=1 count=4 seek=4 status=none # try to read it through dm-verity veritysetup open data.img test hash.img --fec-device=fec.img --fec-roots=20 $(cat roothash) dd if=/dev/mapper/test of=/dev/null bs=4096 status=noxfer Even now the log says it cannot repair it: : verity-fec: 7:1: FEC 0: failed to correct: -74 : device-mapper: verity: 7:1: data block 0 is corrupted ...
