drm/gem: Fix and enable CHANGE_HANDLE
This commit updates drm_gem_change_handle_ioctl() to reject invalid or
unchanged handles, preload the IDR before allocation, return -EBUSY when
new_handle is already in use, and re-enables DRM_IOCTL_GEM_CHANGE_HANDLE.

[Severity: Low]
Does this mask -ENOMEM from idr_alloc()? If idr_preload() fails to
allocate a radix tree node under memory pressure, idr_alloc() returns
-ENOMEM rather than -ENOSPC, so only -ENOSPC should be translated to
-EBUSY.

[Severity: Medium]
Can checking obj->dma_buf here race with concurrent PRIME export and
corrupt file_priv->prime?
obj->dma_buf is a device-wide field protected by dev->object_name_lock,
whereas drm_gem_change_handle_ioctl() only holds the per-file
file_priv->prime.lock:
CPU0 CPU1
drm_gem_change_handle_ioctl() drm_gem_prime_handle_to_fd()
mutex_lock(&file_priv1->prime.lock) mutex_lock(&file_priv2->prime.lock)
mutex_lock(&dev->object_name_lock)
export_and_register_object()
if (obj->dma_buf) obj->dma_buf = dmabuf;
<-- data race
Keying the file_priv->prime update on obj->dma_buf rather than checking
whether args->handle is present in file_priv->prime via
drm_prime_lookup_buf_by_handle() also mismanages the per-file PRIME cache:
1. If obj->dma_buf was set by exporting on another drm_file (or via
another handle H1 on the same file_priv), changing a non-PRIME handle
H2 (e.g. from DRM_IOCTL_GEM_OPEN or DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETFB2) to H3 calls
drm_prime_add_buf_handle() for H3 while drm_prime_remove_buf_handle()
for H2 is a no-op. When H1 is already in file_priv->prime, this inserts
a duplicate dma_buf entry into file_priv->prime.dmabufs.
2. Conversely, when a PRIME-imported object (obj->import_attach != NULL)
has obj->dma_buf == NULL (for example, if a handle is re-obtained via
DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETFB2 after handle_count previously dropped to zero)
and is exported via drm_gem_prime_handle_to_dmabuf(), the
(obj->import_attach->dmabuf, args->handle) entry is added to
file_priv->prime without setting obj->dma_buf:
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_prime.c:drm_gem_prime_handle_to_dmabuf() {
...
if (obj->import_attach) {
dmabuf = obj->import_attach->dmabuf;
get_dma_buf(dmabuf);
goto out_have_obj;
}
...
out_have_obj:
...
ret = drm_prime_add_buf_handle(&file_priv->prime,
dmabuf, handle);
}
Changing args->handle then skips the if (obj->dma_buf) block and leaves
args->handle orphaned in file_priv->prime, triggering the WARN_ON() in
drm_prime_destroy_file_private() and leaking the drm_prime_member and
its dma_buf reference when the file is closed.

[Severity: Medium]
Does re-enabling DRM_IOCTL_GEM_CHANGE_HANDLE leave stale entries in i915's
per-context VMA lookup cache (eb->gem_context->handles_vma)?
In i915, eb_lookup_vma() caches (handle -> vma) in
eb->gem_context->handles_vma and checks that radix tree before consulting
eb->file->object_idr:
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_execbuffer.c:eb_lookup_vma() {
...
if (likely(!eb->lut_size)) {
rcu_read_lock();
vma = radix_tree_lookup(&eb->gem_context->handles_vma, handle);
if (likely(vma))
vma = i915_vma_tryget(vma);
rcu_read_unlock();
if (likely(vma))
return vma;
}
...
}
Entries are only removed from ctx->handles_vma when the context is closed
or when obj->funcs->close (i915_gem_close_object()) runs. Because
drm_gem_change_handle_ioctl() moves the handle in file_priv->object_idr
without invoking obj->funcs->close or notifying the driver, subsequent
DRM_IOCTL_I915_GEM_EXECBUFFER2 calls using the old handle (even after a
newly created object is assigned that handle ID) will resolve to the old
object's VMA, and repeated handle changes accumulate i915_lut_handle
entries on obj->lut_list.
