Title
drm/sched: Fix deadlock in drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/sched: Fix deadlock in drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb The Mesa issue referenced below pointed out a possible deadlock: [ 1231.611031] Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario: [ 1231.611033] CPU0 CPU1 [ 1231.611034] ---- ---- [ 1231.611035] lock(&xa->xa_lock#17); [ 1231.611038] local_irq_disable(); [ 1231.611039] lock(&fence->lock); [ 1231.611041] lock(&xa->xa_lock#17); [ 1231.611044] <Interrupt> [ 1231.611045] lock(&fence->lock); [ 1231.611047] *** DEADLOCK *** In this example, CPU0 would be any function accessing job->dependencies through the xa_* functions that don't disable interrupts (eg: drm_sched_job_add_dependency(), drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb()). CPU1 is executing drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb() as a fence signalling callback so in an interrupt context. It will deadlock when trying to grab the xa_lock which is already held by CPU0. Replacing all xa_* usage by their xa_*_irq counterparts would fix this issue, but Christian pointed out another issue: dma_fence_signal takes fence.lock and so does dma_fence_add_callback. dma_fence_signal() // locks f1.lock -> drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb() -> foreach dependencies -> dma_fence_add_callback() // locks f2.lock This will deadlock if f1 and f2 share the same spinlock. To fix both issues, the code iterating on dependencies and re-arming them is moved out to drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_work(). [phasta: commit message nits]

It will deadlock when trying to\ngrab the xa_lock which is already held by CPU0.\n\nReplacing all xa_* usage by their xa_*_irq counterparts would fix\nthis issue, but Christian pointed out another issue: dma_fence_signal\ntakes fence.lock and so does dma_fence_add_callback.\n\n  dma_fence_signal() // locks f1.lock\n  -\u003e drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb()\n  -\u003e foreach dependencies\n     -\u003e dma_fence_add_callback() // locks f2.lock\n\nThis will deadlock if f1 and f2 share the same spinlock.\n\nTo fix both issues, the code iterating on dependencies and re-arming them\nis moved out to drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_work().\n\n[phasta: commit message nits]"
