The buffer can cover # several pages and VMAs. The function iterates over all the pages used # by the buffer, based on the page size of the VMA. # # To ensure some stability while processing the faults, the thread T1 # grabs the mm->mmap_sem semaphore with read access (R1). However, when # processing a page fault for a single page, one of the underlying # functions, copro_handle_mm_fault(), also grabs the same semaphore with # read access (R2). So the thread T1 takes the semaphore twice. # # If another thread T2 tries to access the semaphore in write mode W1 # (say, because it wants to allocate memory and calls 'brk'), then that # thread T2 will have to wait because there's a reader (R1). If the # thread T1 is processing a new page at that time, it won't get an # automatic grant at R2, because there's now a writer thread # waiting (T2). And we have a deadlock. # # The timeline is: # 1. thread T1 owns the semaphore with read access R1 # 2. thread T2 requests write access W1 and waits # 3. thread T1 requests read access R2 and waits # # The fix is for the thread T1 to release the semaphore R1 once it got # the information it needs from the current VMA. The address space/VMAs # could evolve while T1 iterates over the full buffer, but in the # unlikely case where T1 misses a page, the external driver will raise a # new page fault when retrying the memory access. # # Fixes: 3ced8d730063 ("cxl: Export library to support IBM XSL") # Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.13+ # Signed-off-by: Frederic Barrat <fbarrat@linux.vnet.ibm.com> # Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> # < /opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux-gcc --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 ad7b4e8022b9864c075fe71e1328b1d25cad82f6 # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-next_mips-defconfig_mipsel CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux- defconfig # make -s -j 48 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-next_mips-defconfig_mipsel CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux- FIT description: Linux 4.16.0-rc4-gad7b4e8 Created: Wed Apr 4 22:24:40 2018 Image 0 (kernel@0) Description: Linux 4.16.0-rc4-gad7b4e8 Created: Wed Apr 4 22:24:40 2018 Type: Kernel Image Compression: gzip compressed Data Size: 4422648 Bytes = 4318.99 kB = 4.22 MB Architecture: MIPS OS: Linux Load Address: 0x80100000 Entry Point: 0x80882ec0 Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: e9c95e205b375554058b771e6ef858432458bfac Image 1 (fdt@boston) Description: img,boston Device Tree Created: Wed Apr 4 22:24:40 2018 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 3602 Bytes = 3.52 kB = 0.00 MB Architecture: MIPS Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: dabc84017c5ea1c23fdb5a4b25d185bdf81faa6a Image 2 (fdt@ni169445) Description: NI 169445 device tree Created: Wed Apr 4 22:24:40 2018 Type: Flat Device Tree Compression: uncompressed Data Size: 1871 Bytes = 1.83 kB = 0.00 MB Architecture: MIPS Hash algo: sha1 Hash value: 51b89b31605ee62038c8468c429af091dfc75ec7 Default Configuration: 'conf@default' Configuration 0 (conf@default) Description: Generic Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 Configuration 1 (conf@boston) Description: Boston Linux kernel Kernel: kernel@0 FDT: fdt@boston Configuration 2 (conf@ni169445) Description: NI 169445 Linux Kernel Kernel: kernel@0 FDT: fdt@ni169445 Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/powerpc-next_mips-defconfig_mipsel # Build took: 0:01:38.424773
