Use of copy_from_user in msm_gem_submit.c while holding a spin_lock

Use of copy_from_user in msm_gem_submit.c while holding a spin_lock

[Vaishali Thakkar]

Hello,

I was wondering about the call to copy_from_user in function submit_lookup_objects for drive
/gpu/drm/msm/msm_gem_submit.c  It calls copy_from_user[1] in a spin_lock, which is not normally
allowed, due to the possibility of a deadlock.  

Is there some reason that I am overlooking why it is OK in this case? Is there some code in the
same file which ensures that page fault will not occur when we are calling the function holding
spin_lock?

Thank you.

hmm, probably just that it isn't typical to use a swap file on these
devices (and that lockdep/etc doesn't warn about it)..  I guess we
probably need some sort of slow-path where we drop the lock and try
again in case there would be a fault..

Sigh...  Folks, you don't need swap *at* *all* for copy_from_user() to block.
	/* get a zero-filled 64K buffer */
	addr = mmap(NULL, 65536, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
		    MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0);
	if (addr < 0)
		piss off
	buffer = (void *)addr;
	....
	pass buf to a syscall
and copy_from_user() in that syscall will have to allocate pages (and possibly
page tables as well).  Which can block just fine, no swap involved.  Moreover,
if you modify some parts of the buffer first, you will get the pages containing
those modifications already present, but anything still untouched will
	a) act as if it had been zeroed first and
	b) possibly block on the first dereference, be it from kernel or from
userland.  Worse yet, there's nothing to stop libc from using the above for
calloc() and its ilk, with your application having no way to tell.  As far
as application is concerned, it has asked a library function to allocate and
zero a piece of memory, got one and yes, it does appear to be properly zeroed.

The bottom line is, copy_from_user() can realistically block, without
anything fishy going on in the userland setup.

Sure, I know that.. but if you pass random garbage cmstream to the
gpu, it will crash (the gpu) too and/or result in corrupt rendering on
screen, etc.  GPU submit APIs don't exist for random end users, they
exist for one user that knows what it is doing (ie. mesa).

I'm not saying that I shouldn't fix it (although not quite sure how
yet.. taking/dropping the spinlock inside the loop is not a good
option from a performance standpoint).  What I am saying is that this
is not something that can happen accidentally (as it could in the case
of swap).  But I agree that I should fix it somehow to avoid issues
with an intentionally evil userspace.

If there is a copy_from_user() variant that will return an error
instead of blocking, I think that is really what I want so I can
implement a slow-path that drops the spin-lock temporarily.

I wouldn't count on that not happening by accident.  With zero changes
in mesa itself - it can be as simple as change of allocator in the
bowels of libc or throwing libdmalloc into the link flags, etc.  And most
of the time it would've worked just fine, but the same call in a situation
when most of the memory is occupied by dirty pagecache pages can end up
having to wait for writeback.

*shrug*

pagefault_disable()/pagefault_enable() are there for purpose, so's
__copy_from_user_inatomic()...  Just remember that __copy_from_user_inatomic()
does not check if the addresses are userland ones (i.e. the caller needs
to check access_ok() itself) and it is *NOT* guaranteed to zero what it
hadn't copied over.  Currently it does zero tail on some, but not all
architectures; come next cycle it and it will not do that zeroing on any
of those.

hmm, looks like, at least on arm (not sure about arm64),

#define __copy_from_user_inatomic __copy_from_user

ie. copy_from_user() minus the access_ok() and memset in the
!access_ok() path.. but maybe what I want is just the
pagefault_disable() if that disables copy_from_user() being able to
block..

I guess I need to write evil_test_code.c and see what happens..

On a bunch of platforms copy_from_user() starts with might_sleep(); again,
that'll spread to all of the pretty soon.

Right now those primitives are very badly out of sync; this will change,
but let's not add more PITA sources.

That sounds great, as part of discussing this on irc with Rob I too
noticed that the the *copy*user* funcs are all rather out of sync. On
i915.ko we go full evil mode and pass (faulting) i915 buffer objects in as
targets for all these copy*user operations. And for added evilness we have
debugfs interfaces to force-unmap/evict these bo, which is used to make
sure that the fault handling in slow-paths (after dropping locks and
reacquiring them) also works - some of i915 code has slow-slow path
fallbacks ;-)

Oh and we have a debugfs knob to disable the prefaulting we do, since
without those the race is way too small.

Ok, this is what I came up with.. let me know what you think.  The
first hunk was just to see the problem in the first place (no idea if
other places on arm would have problems w/ that hunk so it wouldn't be
part of my fix+cc-stable patch.. but it seems like I good idea, I
would have discovered this issue much sooner if we had it)

And yes, I know mutex_is_locked_by() is not super-awesome.. for the
shrinker I plan to get rid of this with finer grained locking,
although I'm not sure that totally helps with the
doubleplus-evil-userspace vs submit ioctl case.. which I think could
still cause mischief by passing an unfaulted bo in the bos table,
which is processed (and with a finer-grained lock scheme, locked)
first, and then using it's vaddr for the cmds table (where it would be
faulted after already locked)..  perhaps I can just disallow a gem bo
to be used for either bos or cmds table in the submit ioctl (since
there is no legit reason to allow that)

Note that there is actually no hardware with this gpu which is non-SMP
so I don't mind kconfig to 'depends on SMP', at least for a short-term
solution.  I think any other solution isn't going to be something that
candidate for stable.

Hm, I thought with spinlocks this isn't needed ... we have that in some
fastpaths to avoid locking inversion in i915_gem_execbuf.c, but that's
because a mutex critical section can still sleep.

This is an ok (well still horrible) heuristics for the shrinker, but for
correctness it kinda doesn't cut it. What you need to do instead is drop
all the locks, copy relocations into a temp memory area and then proceed
in the msm command submission path above.

Also reentrant mutexes are evil ;-)

Please note that this is not a reentrant mutex in the fault path, it
bails with VM_FAULT_SIGBUG!

There is never a legit reason to use a gem bo for the bos (or cmds)
table in the ioctl, so while this may not be pretty, I believe it is
an acceptable solution.
