drm/i915: Revoke mmaps and prevent access to fence registers across reset
Previously, we were able to rely on the recursive properties of
struct_mutex to allow us to serialise revoking mmaps and reacquiring the
FENCE registers with them being clobbered over a global device reset.
I then proceeded to throw out the baby with the bath water in order to
pursue a struct_mutex-less reset.
Perusing LWN for alternative strategies, the dilemma on how to serialise
access to a global resource on one side was answered by
https://lwn.net/Articles/202847/ -- Sleepable RCU:
1 int readside(void) {
2 int idx;
3 rcu_read_lock();
4 if (nomoresrcu) {
5 rcu_read_unlock();
6 return -EINVAL;
7 }
8 idx = srcu_read_lock(&ss);
9 rcu_read_unlock();
10 /* SRCU read-side critical section. */
11 srcu_read_unlock(&ss, idx);
12 return 0;
13 }
14
15 void cleanup(void)
16 {
17 nomoresrcu = 1;
18 synchronize_rcu();
19 synchronize_srcu(&ss);
20 cleanup_srcu_struct(&ss);
21 }
No more worrying about stop_machine, just an uber-complex mutex,
optimised for reads, with the overhead pushed to the rare reset path.
However, we do run the risk of a deadlock as we allocate underneath the
SRCU read lock, and the allocation may require a GPU reset, causing a
dependency cycle via the in-flight requests. We resolve that by declaring
the driver wedged and cancelling all in-flight rendering.
v2: Use expedited rcu barriers to match our earlier timing
characteristics.
v3: Try to annotate locking contexts for sparse
v4: Reduce selftest lock duration to avoid a reset deadlock with fences
v5: s/srcu/reset_backoff_srcu/
v6: Remove more stale comments
Testcase: igt/gem_mmap_gtt/hang
Fixes: eb8d0f5af4ec ("drm/i915: Remove GPU reset dependence on struct_mutex")
