xen/gntdev: fix unmap notification order
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.94 commit 9fbaddd783fdc7c074ac9af5aef9baa45596b8b3 bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I531X9 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=9fbaddd783fdc7c074ac9af5aef9baa45596b8b3 -------------------------------- commit ce2f46f3 upstream. While working with Xen's libxenvchan library I have faced an issue with unmap notifications sent in wrong order if both UNMAP_NOTIFY_SEND_EVENT and UNMAP_NOTIFY_CLEAR_BYTE were requested: first we send an event channel notification and then clear the notification byte which renders in the below inconsistency (cli_live is the byte which was requested to be cleared on unmap): [ 444.514243] gntdev_put_map UNMAP_NOTIFY_SEND_EVENT map->notify.event 6 libxenvchan_is_open cli_live 1 [ 444.515239] __unmap_grant_pages UNMAP_NOTIFY_CLEAR_BYTE at 14 Thus it is not possible to reliably implement the checks like - wait for the notification (UNMAP_NOTIFY_SEND_EVENT) - check the variable (UNMAP_NOTIFY_CLEAR_BYTE) because it is possible that the variable gets checked before it is cleared by the kernel. To fix that we need to re-order the notifications, so the variable is first gets cleared and then the event channel notification is sent. With this fix I can see the correct order of execution: [ 54.522611] __unmap_grant_pages UNMAP_NOTIFY_CLEAR_BYTE at 14 [ 54.537966] gntdev_put_map UNMAP_NOTIFY_SEND_EVENT map->notify.event 6 libxenvchan_is_open cli_live 0 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: NOleksandr Andrushchenko <oleksandr_andrushchenko@epam.com> Reviewed-by: NBoris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211210092817.580718-1-andr2000@gmail.comSigned-off-by: NJuergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: NZheng Zengkai <zhengzengkai@huawei.com> Acked-by: NXie XiuQi <xiexiuqi@huawei.com>
