mm/filemap: avoid buffered read/write race to read inconsistent data

Browse Source 
commit e2c27b803b upstream.

The following concurrency may cause the data read to be inconsistent with
the data on disk:

             cpu1                           cpu2
------------------------------|------------------------------
                               // Buffered write 2048 from 0
                               ext4_buffered_write_iter
                                generic_perform_write
                                 copy_page_from_iter_atomic
                                 ext4_da_write_end
                                  ext4_da_do_write_end
                                   block_write_end
                                    __block_commit_write
                                     folio_mark_uptodate
// Buffered read 4096 from 0          smp_wmb()
ext4_file_read_iter                   set_bit(PG_uptodate, folio_flags)
 generic_file_read_iter            i_size_write // 2048
  filemap_read                     unlock_page(page)
   filemap_get_pages
    filemap_get_read_batch
    folio_test_uptodate(folio)
     ret = test_bit(PG_uptodate, folio_flags)
     if (ret)
      smp_rmb();
      // Ensure that the data in page 0-2048 is up-to-date.

                               // New buffered write 2048 from 2048
                               ext4_buffered_write_iter
                                generic_perform_write
                                 copy_page_from_iter_atomic
                                 ext4_da_write_end
                                  ext4_da_do_write_end
                                   block_write_end
                                    __block_commit_write
                                     folio_mark_uptodate
                                      smp_wmb()
                                      set_bit(PG_uptodate, folio_flags)
                                   i_size_write // 4096
                                   unlock_page(page)

   isize = i_size_read(inode) // 4096
   // Read the latest isize 4096, but without smp_rmb(), there may be
   // Load-Load disorder resulting in the data in the 2048-4096 range
   // in the page is not up-to-date.
   copy_page_to_iter
   // copyout 4096

In the concurrency above, we read the updated i_size, but there is no read
barrier to ensure that the data in the page is the same as the i_size at
this point, so we may copy the unsynchronized page out.  Hence adding the
missing read memory barrier to fix this.

This is a Load-Load reordering issue, which only occurs on some weak
mem-ordering architectures (e.g.  ARM64, ALPHA), but not on strong
mem-ordering architectures (e.g.  X86).  And theoretically the problem
doesn't only happen on ext4, filesystems that call filemap_read() but
don't hold inode lock (e.g.  btrfs, f2fs, ubifs ...) will have this
problem, while filesystems with inode lock (e.g.  xfs, nfs) won't have
this problem.
