the 12 release and cylinder-group and inode check hashes will appear
in the 13 release.
When a disk with a UFS filesystem is writably mounted, the kernel
clears the feature flags for anything that it does not support. For
example, if a UFS disk from a 12-stable kernel is mounted on an
11-stable system, the 11-stable kernel will clear the flag in the
filesystem superblock that indicates that superblock check-hashs
are being maintained. Thus if the disk is later moved back to a
12-stable system, the 12-stable system will know to ignore its
incorrect check-hash.
If the only filesystem modification done on the earlier kernel is
to run a utility such as growfs(8) that modifies the superblock but
neither updates the check-hash nor clears the feature flag indicating
that it does not support the check-hash, the disk will fail to mount
if it is moved back to its original newer kernel.
This patch moves the code that clears the filesystem feature flags
from the mount code (ffs_mountfs()) to the code that reads the
superblock (ffs_sbget()). As ffs_sbget() is used by the kernel mount
code and is imported into libufs(3), all the filesystem utilities
will now also clear these flags when they make modifications to the
filesystem.
As suggested by John Baldwin, fsck_ffs(8) has been changed to accept
and repair bad superblock check-hashes rather than refusing to run.
This change allows fsck to recover filesystems that have been impacted
by utilities older than those created after this change and is a
sensible thing to do in any event.

CID 1401317: namlen may be used uninitialized
directory entries that is caused by uninitialized directory entry
padding written to the disk. It can be viewed by any user with read
access to that directory. Up to 3 bytes of kernel stack are disclosed
per file entry, depending on the the amount of padding the kernel
needs to pad out the entry to a 32 bit boundry. The offset in the
kernel stack that is disclosed is a function of the filename size.
Furthermore, if the user can create files in a directory, this 3
byte window can be expanded 3 bytes at a time to a 254 byte window
with 75% of the data in that window exposed. The additional exposure
is done by removing the entry, creating a new entry with a 4-byte
longer name, extracting 3 more bytes by reading the directory, and
repeating until a 252 byte name is created.
This exploit works in part because the area of the kernel stack
that is being disclosed is in an area that typically doesn't change
that often (perhaps a few times a second on a lightly loaded system),
and these file creates and unlinks themselves don't overwrite the
area of kernel stack being disclosed.
It appears that this bug originated with the creation of the Fast
File System in 4.1b-BSD (Circa 1982, more than 36 years ago!), and
is likely present in every Unix or Unix-like system that uses
UFS/FFS. Amazingly, nobody noticed until now.
This update also adds the -z flag to fsck_ffs to have it scrub
the leaked information in the name padding of existing directories.
It only needs to be run once on each UFS/FFS filesystem after a

Soft updates will always ensure that the file size is correct when
writing inodes to disk for files that contain only direct block
pointers. However soft updates does not roll back sizes for files
with indirect blocks that it has set to unallocated because their
contents have not yet been written to disk. Hence, the file can
appear to have a hole at its end because the block pointer has been
rolled back to zero when its inode was written to disk. Thus,
fsck_ffs calculates the last allocated block in the file. For files
that extend into indirect blocks, fsck_ffs checks for a size past
the last allocated block of the file and if that is found, shortens
the file to reference the last allocated block thus avoiding having
it reference a hole at its end.

If requested to fix the inode check-hash it would confirm having done
it, but then fail to make the fix. The same code is used in fsdb which,
unlike fsck, would actually fix the inode check-hash.
The discrepancy occurred because fsck has two ways to fetch inodes.
The inode by number function ginode() and the streaming inode
function getnextinode() used during pass1. Fsdb uses the ginode()
function which correctly does the fix, while fsck first encounters
the bad inode check-hash in pass1 where it is using the getnextinode()
function that failed to make the correction. This patch corrects
the getnextinode() function so that fsck now correctly fixes inodes
with incorrect inode check-hashs.

associated with an inode with an invalid check hash will fail with
EINVAL (Invalid argument). Access is reestablished after an fsck
is run to find and validate the inodes with invalid check-hashes.
This check avoids a class of filesystem panics related to corrupted
inodes. The hash is done using crc32c.
Note this check-hash is for the inode itself and not any of its
indirect blocks. Check-hash validation may be extended to also
cover indirect block pointers, but that will be a separate (and
more costly) feature.
Check hashes are added only to UFS2 and not to UFS1 as UFS1 is

superblock has a check-hash error, an error message noting the
superblock check-hash failure is printed and the mount fails. The
administrator then runs fsck to repair the filesystem and when
successful, the filesystem can once again be mounted.
This approach fails if the filesystem in question is a root filesystem
from which you are trying to boot. Here, the loader fails when trying
to access the filesystem to get the kernel to boot. So it is necessary
to allow the loader to ignore the superblock check-hash error and make
a best effort to read the kernel. The filesystem may be suffiently
corrupted that the read attempt fails, but there is no harm in trying
since the loader makes no attempt to write to the filesystem.
Once the kernel is loaded and starts to run, it attempts to mount its
root filesystem. Once again, failure means that it breaks to its prompt
to ask where to get its root filesystem. Unless you have an alternate
root filesystem, you are stuck.
Since the root filesystem is initially mounted read-only, it is
safe to make an attempt to mount the root filesystem with the failed
superblock check-hash. Thus, when asked to mount a root filesystem
with a failed superblock check-hash, the kernel prints a warning
message that the root filesystem superblock check-hash needs repair,
but notes that it is ignoring the error and proceeding. It does
mark the filesystem as needing an fsck which prevents it from being
enabled for writing until fsck has been run on it. The net effect
is that the reboot fails to single user, but at least at that point
the administrator has the tools at hand to fix the problem.

Our kernel currently defines two-argument versions of timespecadd and

To minimize the time spent scanning all of the directories in pass 2
(Check Pathnames), fsck uses a search order based on the location
of their first block. Zero length directories have no first block,
so the array being used to hold the block numbers of directory
inodes was of zero length. Thus a lookup was done past the end of
the array getting at best a random value and at worst a segment
fault. For zero length directories, this change allocates a one
element block array and initializes it to zero. The effect is that
all zero length directories are handled first in pass 2.

folks running filesystems created on check-hash enabled kernels
(which I will call "new") on a non-check-hash enabled kernels (which
I will call "old). The idea here is to detect when a filesystem is
run on an old kernel and flag the filesystem so that when it gets
moved back to a new kernel, it will not start getting a slew of
check-hash errors.
Back when the UFS version 2 filesystem was created, it added a file
flag FS_INDEXDIRS that was to be set on any filesystem that kept
some sort of on-disk indexing for directories. The idea was precisely
to solve the issue we have today. Specifically that a newer kernel
that supported indexing would be able to tell that the filesystem
had been run on an older non-indexing kernel and that the indexes
should not be used until they had been rebuilt. Since we have never
implemented on-disk directory indicies, the FS_INDEXDIRS flag is
cleared every time any UFS version 2 filesystem ever created is
mounted for writing.
This commit repurposes the FS_INDEXDIRS flag as the FS_METACKHASH
flag. Thus, the FS_METACKHASH is definitively known to have always
been cleared. The FS_INDEXDIRS flag has been moved to a new block
of flags that will always be cleared starting with this commit
(until they get used to implement some future feature which needs
to detect that the filesystem was mounted on a kernel that predates
the new feature).
If a filesystem with check-hashes enabled is mounted on an old
kernel the FS_METACKHASH flag is cleared. When that filesystem is
mounted on a new kernel it will see that the FS_METACKHASH has been
cleared and clears all of the fs_metackhash flags. To get them
re-enabled the user must run fsck (in interactive mode without the
-y flag) which will ask for each supported check hash whether it
should be rebuilt and enabled. When fsck is run in its default preen
mode, it will just ignore the check hashes so they will remain
disabled.
The kernel has always disabled any check hash functions that it
does not support, so as more types of check hashes are added, we
will get a non-surprising result. Specifically if filesystems get
moved to kernels supporting fewer of the check hashes, those that
are not supported will be disabled. If the filesystem is moved back
to a kernel with more of the check-hashes available and fsck is run
interactively to rebuild them, then their checking will resume.
Otherwise just the smaller subset will be checked.
A side effect of this commit is that filesystems running with
cylinder-group check hashes will stop having them checked until
fsck is run to re-enable them (since none of them currently have
the FS_METACKHASH flag set). So, if you want check hashes enabled
on your filesystems after booting a kernel with these changes, you
need to run fsck to enable them. Any newly created filesystems will
have check hashes enabled. If in doubt as to whether you have check
hashes emabled, run dumpfs and look at the list of enabled flags
at the end of the superblock details.
Specifically reading is done if ffs_sbget() and writing is done
in ffs_sbput(). These functions are exported to libufs via the
sbget() and sbput() functions which then used in the various
filesystem utilities. This work is in preparation for adding
subperblock check hashes.

When the fsck_ffs program cannot fully repair a file system, it will
output the message PLEASE RERUN FSCK. However, it does not exit with a
non-zero status in this case (contradicting the man page claim that it
"exits with 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs." The fsck
rc-script (when running "fsck -y") tests the status from fsck (which
passes along the exit status from fsck_ffs) and issues a "stop_boot"
if the status fails. However, this is not effective since fsck_ffs can
return zero even on (some) errors. Effectively, it is left to a later
step in the boot process when the file systems are mounted to detect
the still-unclean file system and stop the boot.
This change modifies fsck_ffs so that when it cannot fully repair the
file system and issues the PLEASE RERUN FSCK message it also exits
with a non-zero status.
While here, the fsck_ffs man page has also been updated to document
the failing exit status codes used by fsck_ffs. Previously, only exit
status 7 was documented. Some of these exit statuses are tested for in
the fsck rc-script, so they are clearly depended upon and deserve
