Fixed In Version: cluster-3.0.12.1-7.el6 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Prior to this fix, boundaries for the locktable and label fields in the GFS2 superblock were not properly checked by the tunegfs2 tool. That allowed you to cause "gfs2_tool sb" to abort abnormally (buffer overflow) or to print invalid characters by using tunegfs2 to change the locktable or label to a minimum or maximum length (63 characters). Code was added to tunefs2 to check the correct boundaries of the locktable and label fields. As a result, tunegfs2 will no longer create invalid locktables or labels, and therefore, gfs2_tool will print the superblock values properly.

Description Nate Straz 2011-07-05 20:32:48 UTC 
Description of problem:

This is a collection of several issues found while testing the new tunegfs2 command with respect to lock table and label setting functions, -L and -o locktable=X.

1. If no lock table is specified, a label can not be set

# mkfs -t gfs2 -p lock_nolock -j 1  /dev/sdb1
# tunegfs2 -L A  /dev/sdb1
Label too long

2. tunegfs2 will trigger a buffer overflow if length(locktable + label) = 63 when setting the locktable name

# mkfs -t gfs2 -p lock_nolock -j 1 -t foo:longername -O /dev/sdb1

3. Setting the label name such that the locktable and label hit the 63 character limit causes `gfs2_tool sb $dev table` to print beyond the end of the lock table name

The upstream patch applies cleanly to the RHEL6 branch of cluster.git so I've added my Reviewed-by line and pushed the commit. Setting to POST.

Comment 7 Nate Straz 2011-07-29 18:59:25 UTC 
Looks like the behavior changed slightly.  Now it looks like Filesystem volume name and Lock Table are the same field, which agrees now with the man page.

Before the Lock Table was two parts, <lock table>:<volume name>.  This would be set by `tunegfs2 -o locktable=<locktable>` and `tunegfs2 -L <volume name>.`

I just want to verify that this change in behavior was intended.

Also, since they are now the same field, do we really need -o locktable?
Should lockproto be moved to a option like -p?
Comment 8 Andrew Price 2011-08-02 09:52:49 UTC 
As this is technically Steve's patch I think he can answer comment #7 more authoritatively than I can.
Comment 9 Steve Whitehouse 2011-08-02 10:03:10 UTC 
Yes, it was intended. Not only does it now agree with the man page, but also I realised that it was going to cause all kinds of issues if we tried to separate the two.

The arguments were designed to match those for tune2fs so they are just synonyms and I don't think there is any problem in leaving them "as is". We could add a -p option since tune2fs doesn't have that already, but I'm not sure that we really need to add yet another method to the tool. I don't mind doing that in the future, but its not really relevant to this bz I think.

The main aim here was to ensure that the lengths of the input were being properly checked, and to fix the slightly odd behaviour of the -L flag.
