drm/i915: Fix userptr deadlock with aliased GTT mmappings
Michał Winiarski found a really evil way to trigger a struct_mutex deadlock with userptr. He found that if he allocated a userptr bo and then GTT mmaped another bo, or even itself, at the same address as the userptr using MAP_FIXED, he could then cause a deadlock any time we then had to invalidate the GTT mmappings (so at will). Tvrtko then found by repeatedly allocating GTT mmappings he could alias with an old userptr mmap and also trigger the deadlock. To counter act the deadlock, we make the observation that we only need to take the struct_mutex if the object has any pages to revoke, and that before userspace can alias with the userptr address space, it must have invalidated the userptr->pages. Thus if we can check for those pages outside of the struct_mutex, we can avoid the deadlock. To do so we introduce a separate flag for userptr objects that we can inspect from the mmu-notifier underneath its spinlock. The patch makes one eye-catching change. That is the removal serial=0 after detecting a to-be-freed object inside the invalidate walker. I felt setting serial=0 was a questionable pessimisation: it denies us the chance to reuse the current iterator for the next loop (before it is freed) and being explicit makes the reader question the validity of the locking (since the object-free race could occur elsewhere). The serialisation of the iterator is through the spinlock, if the object is freed before the next loop then the notifier.serial will be incremented and we start the walk from the beginning as we detect the invalid cache. To try and tame the error paths and interactions with the userptr->active flag, we have to do a fair amount of rearranging of get_pages_userptr(). v2: Grammar fixes v3: Reorder set-active so that it is only set when obj->pages is set (and so needs cancellation). Only the order of setting obj->pages and the active-flag is crucial. Calling gup after invalidate-range begin means the userptr sees the new set of backing storage (and so will not need to invalidate its new pages), but we have to be careful not to set the active-flag prior to successfully establishing obj->pages. v4: Take the active->flag early so we know in the mmu-notifier when we have to cancel a pending gup-worker. v5: Rearrange the error path so that is not so convoluted v6: Set pinned to 0 when negative before calling release_pages() Reported-by: NMichał Winiarski <michal.winiarski@intel.com> Testcase: igt/gem_userptr_blits/map-fixed* Signed-off-by: NChris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Michał Winiarski <michal.winiarski@intel.com> Cc: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reviewed-by: NTvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NDaniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
