[PATCH v4] Memory leak error in qxl unbind

["Óscar Megía López" <megia.oscar@gmail.com>]

I discovered an OOM after run the script below
(I updated it and added a sleep to allow enough time for the cache to
recover):

while [ 1 -eq 1 ]; do\
  i=$((i+1)); echo 0000:00:01.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/qxl/unbind;\
  if (($i%1000==0)); then\
    echo i=$i; free;\
    grep nr_free_pages /proc/vmstat;\
    grep -E "PageTables|VmallocUsed|Slab|Reclaimable" /proc/meminfo;\
    sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches;\
    echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory;\
    sleep 10s;\
    free;\
    grep nr_free_pages /proc/vmstat;\
    grep -E "PageTables|VmallocUsed|Slab|Reclaimable" /proc/meminfo;\
    uptime;\
  fi;\
  echo 0000:00:01.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/qxl/bind;\
 done

The OOM isn't just a simple leak; it's a refcount corruption which renders
the list_lru fix dead code after the first mid-init failure.

Here's the chain:

Bug 1: ttm_pool_type_init() does not check return from list_lru_init().

Fix: Check the return value from list_lru_init() and propagate the error.

Bug 2: ttm_pool_fini() does not destroy list lru with list_lru_destroy().

Fix: Add list_lru_destroy() after ttm_pool_type_fini().

Bug 3: ttm_pool_mgr_init() does not check ttm_pool_type_init() return
and does not free pool if returns error.

Fix: Move up shrinker_alloc(), check ttm_pool_type_init() return and free
pool types and shrinker if non-zero and return error.

Bug 4: ttm_pool_mgr_fini() does not destroy the list_lru.

Fix: Add list_lru_destroy() after ttm_pool_type_fini().

Fixed check for an empty shrinker_list.

This patch depends on patch ("[PATCH v3] drm/qxl: fix use-after-free in
qxl_irq_handler on PCI"), link [1] below.

Changes in v2:
 - Bug 1: ttm_global_init ignores ttm_pool_mgr_init() return.
   If shrinker_alloc() fails under memory pressure, ttm_pool_mgr_init
   returns -ENOMEM with pool types already initialized (64 list_lru_init
   calls done). ttm_global_init ignored this and returned 0, leaving orphaned
   pool types with a NULL mm_shrinker.

   Fix: Check ret from ttm_pool_mgr_init; if non-zero, goto out cleans up
   refcount + debugfs.

 - Bug 2: ttm_pool_mgr_init leaks pool types on shrinker_alloc failure
   If shrinker_alloc fails after all 64 pool types were list_lru_init'd,
   the function returned -ENOMEM without undoing them. With Bug 1 now
   triggering proper error handling, this undo is necessary.

   Fix: err_shrinker: label that finalizes + destroys all 64 pool types
   before returning.

Changes in v3:
 - Fix: "Unchecked list_lru_init() return value in ttm_pool_type_init()
   causes a deterministic NULL pointer dereference in the newly added
   error path."
   Now check list_lru_init return value in ttm_pool_type_init() and
   returns error if any.

 - Solved pre-existing issues reported by kernel test robot:
   - [High] `ttm_pool_type_init()` ignores the return value of
     `list_lru_init()`, leading to a NULL pointer dereference
     if allocation fails.

     Fix: get return value from list_lru_init and return error if any.

   - [High] `ttm_pool_shrink()` assumes `shrinker_list` is never empty,
     causing memory corruption and crashes during module unload
     if triggered.

     Fix: Check if shrinker_list is empty and return 0 if it is empty.

Changes in v4:
 - removed check return value in ttm_pool_mgr_init, now in new patch
 ("[PATCH] ttm: Add error handling for ttm_pool_mgr_init()")
 link [2] above.
 - Fixed check empty shrinker_list.
 - Check return value from ttm_pool_type_init.
 - Move up shrinker_alloc.
 - Deleted dput(backup_fault_inject.dname);
 - Fixed issue [High] The patch introduces a use-after-free race condition
   between `ttm_pool_type_fini()` and the active memory shrinker
   `ttm_pool_shrink()` by calling `list_lru_destroy()` prematurely as
   reported by kernel test robot.

   Fix: separate ttm_pool_type_fini and list_lru_destroy. Then, add
   ttm_pool_synchronize_shrinkers between them.
