msm_vma_job_run() applies the pgtable updates that vm_bind_job_prepare()
queued for a VM_BIND job, drops the GEM object references that
vm_op_enqueue() took for them, and unpins the BOs of the job. A job can
also be freed without having run: when its entity is killed, e.g. on
SIGKILL while the process exits, and when msm_ioctl_vm_bind() fails
part-way through vm_bind_job_prepare() or after it. msm_vma_job_free()
then frees the queued ops without applying them and without dropping
their references, and a killed job also keeps its BOs pinned. Besides
the leaks, the VM no longer matches its pgtables: for example, the
pages of a VMA that was unmapped from the VM are still mapped.
In msm_vma_job_free(), apply the queued updates the way
msm_vma_job_run() does on error: skip the maps, but apply the unmaps,
so that their references can be dropped without freeing pages that are
still mapped, and mark the VM unusable. Move that part of
msm_vma_job_run() into a helper for this. Also clear bos_pinned once
msm_vma_job_run() has unpinned the BOs, as msm_job_run() does for
submits, and unpin the BOs of a job that still has them pinned. The
job's fence does not keep them busy anymore at that point, so take the
object lock to unpin them.
This also marks the VM unusable when msm_ioctl_vm_bind() fails after
vm_bind_job_prepare() has queued updates, i.e. when the first op fails
part-way or when sync_file_create() fails. The VM is then left
partially updated, as when a later op fails.
The patch and its changelog were drafted with an AI coding assistant.
The issue has not been reproduced, and the change has only been
compile-tested.

At commit 2e6a8a1fe2b2, msm_vma_job_run() still unpinned the BOs under
the object lock, and msm_gem_vm_unusable() did not exist yet, so older
stable trees need an adapted backport.

drm/msm: Release the pins and ops of a VM_BIND job that never ran
This commit factors pgtable update execution out of msm_vma_job_run() into
vm_bind_job_apply_ops() and calls it from msm_vma_job_free() along with BO
unpinning so that aborted or killed VM_BIND jobs apply pending unmaps,
drop GEM object references, mark the VM unusable, and release BO pins.

[Severity: High]
When msm_ioctl_vm_bind() fails after vm_bind_job_prepare() has queued an
MSM_VM_OP_UNMAP (for example on a later op in the same ioctl or when
sync_file_create() fails), does calling vm_bind_job_apply_ops() directly
from msm_vma_job_free() execute unmaps before the job's fence dependencies
and earlier scheduled VM_BIND jobs have completed?
Unlike drm_sched_entity_kill(), which waits for entity->last_scheduled and
every fence in job->base.dependencies before invoking free_job(), the
synchronous failure path in msm_ioctl_vm_bind() calls msm_vma_job_free()
immediately after drm_exec_fini() and mutex_unlock(&queue->lock).
vm_bind_job_apply_ops() then runs vm_unmap_op() and
drm_gem_object_put(op->obj) while in-flight GPU work guarded by
job->base.dependencies may still be accessing those mappings and backing
pages.
Running vm_bind_job_apply_ops() here can also reorder an unmap ahead of an
earlier pending job's map of the same IOVA range:
CPU0 (scheduler: job1 map X) CPU1 (ioctl error: job2 unmap X)
msm_vma_job_run(job1)
vm->unusable is false
vm_bind_job_prepare(job2)
msm_gem_vma_close()
...
msm_vma_job_free(job2)
vm_bind_job_apply_ops(job2, -ECANCELED)
mutex_lock(&vm->mmu_lock)
vm_unmap_op(X)
mutex_unlock(&vm->mmu_lock)
vm_bind_job_apply_ops(job1, 0)
mutex_lock(&vm->mmu_lock)
vm_map_op(X)
drm_gem_object_put(op->obj) <-- mapped in IOMMU, untracked in job->vm
mutex_unlock(&vm->mmu_lock)
msm_gem_vm_unusable(job->vm)
Because job2 already closed the drm_gpuva in job->vm, job1's mapping is
never torn down when the VM is closed, leaving freed pages mapped in the
IOMMU. In addition, because msm_ioctl_vm_bind() drops the VM lock and
queue->lock before msm_vma_job_free() sets vm->unusable, another thread
can enter msm_ioctl_vm_bind() and pass the vm->unusable check while the VM
is already partially modified.
> + msm_gem_vm_unusable(job->vm);
> + }
[Severity: Medium]
Can vm_bind_job_prepare() modify job->vm and fail while job->vm_ops is
still empty, leaving the VM usable in an inconsistent state?
In msm_gem_vm_sm_step_map(), vma_from_op() inserts the new VMA into
job->vm with to_msm_vma(vma)->mapped = false before calling
vm_op_enqueue():
drivers/gpu/drm/msm/msm_gem_vma.c:msm_gem_vm_sm_step_map() {
...
vma = vma_from_op(arg, &op->map);
if (WARN_ON(IS_ERR(vma)))
return PTR_ERR(vma);
...
ret = vm_op_enqueue(arg, (struct msm_vm_op){
...
});
if (ret)
return ret;
vma->flags = ((struct op_arg *)arg)->flags;
to_msm_vma(vma)->mapped = true;
}
If vm_op_enqueue() fails with -ENOMEM on the first step of op 0, job->vm_ops
is empty and i == 0, so neither vm_bind_job_prepare() nor
msm_vma_job_free() calls msm_gem_vm_unusable(). If that op was
MSM_VM_BIND_OP_MAP_NULL, the VMA stays in job->vm with vm_bo == NULL and
mapped == false, and a subsequent ioctl that remaps it will call
drm_gpuvm_bo_evict(NULL, true) in msm_gem_vm_sm_step_remap() and
dereference a NULL pointer:
drivers/gpu/drm/msm/msm_gem_vma.c:msm_gem_vm_sm_step_remap() {
...
if (vm_bo)
drm_gpuvm_bo_get(vm_bo);
...
if (op->remap.prev) {
prev_vma = vma_from_op(arg, op->remap.prev);
if (WARN_ON(IS_ERR(prev_vma)))
return PTR_ERR(prev_vma);
...
if (!mapped)
drm_gpuvm_bo_evict(vm_bo, true);
}
Unmapping or remapping an unmapped VMA or updating VMA flags in place also
modifies job->vm without queueing to job->vm_ops; if a later step of op 0
or sync_file_create() fails, job->vm_ops is still empty and the VM is not
marked unusable. Also, msm_gem_vm_sm_step_remap() leaks the
drm_gpuvm_bo_get(vm_bo) reference if vma_from_op() returns an error, and
when vm_bind_job_prepare() fails at i > 0 with non-empty job->vm_ops, both
vm_bind_job_prepare() and msm_vma_job_free() call msm_gem_vm_unusable(),
dumping the VM log twice.

The entity of a VM_BIND submitqueue is attached to the per-VM scheduler,
and msm_gem_vm_close() calls drm_sched_fini() on that scheduler when the
file is closed, which frees its run queues. The submitqueue itself is
only destroyed on its final put, though, and every VM_BIND job holds a
reference to it. msm_submitqueue_close() only flushes the entity, and a
queue that was closed earlier with MSM_SUBMITQUEUE_CLOSE is not flushed
at all.
The flush gives up after a timeout when the process exits, or on a
fatal signal, and it only kills the queued jobs when the process exits
because of SIGKILL. In these cases, and after MSM_SUBMITQUEUE_CLOSE,
the entity can still have a callback armed on the in-fence of a
VM_BIND job when drm_sched_fini() runs. When that fence signals,
drm_sched_entity_wakeup() dereferences entity->rq->sched, and so reads
a run queue that drm_sched_fini() has freed. If the jobs were killed,
the final put of the queue then calls drm_sched_entity_destroy(), which
reads the same freed run queue in drm_sched_entity_flush(). If they
were not, they never run, and keep the queue, its context and the VM
alive.
Destroy the VM_BIND entity when userspace closes the queue, on file
close or with MSM_SUBMITQUEUE_CLOSE, instead of on the final put, and
refuse new VM_BIND jobs on a closed queue. In the MSM_SUBMITQUEUE_CLOSE
path, do it after dropping ctxlock, as destroying the entity waits for
the jobs queued on it.
As a result, MSM_SUBMITQUEUE_CLOSE on a VM_BIND queue now waits
(killably) for the jobs already queued on it, and a fatal signal during
that wait cancels the remaining ones, where they used to still run. On
file close, the jobs still queued when the wait gives up are now always
cancelled, as they already were when the process was killed while
exiting, instead of being left on the entity. With the previous patch,
such jobs apply their unmaps and release their pins and references.
This was found with an AI coding assistant, which also drafted this
patch and its changelog. It has not been reproduced, and the change
has only been compile-tested.

The scoped_guard() in msm_submitqueue_remove() relies on commit
ea69d489d3a6 ("drm/msm: Rework queuelock"), so trees older than v7.3
need a manual backport.
If MSM_SUBMITQUEUE_CLOSE should rather not block, the destroy of closed
VM_BIND queues could instead be deferred to file close, e.g. with a
per-context list of them.

msm_vma_job_free() puts the job's submitqueue and then wakes up
vm->prealloc_throttle.wait. The job does not hold a reference to the
VM of its own: the VM is kept alive by the context, which the queue
holds a reference to. When the job holds the last reference to the
queue, as it can once the file has been closed, for example when a
cancelled job is freed, the put can drop the last reference to the VM,
and the wakeup then uses a VM that msm_gem_vm_free() has released.
Since commit 01c8d1f385f7 ("drm/msm: RCU-free the scheduler-containing
ring and VM objects"), msm_gem_vm_free() frees the VM with kfree_rcu(),
but msm_vma_job_free() is not in an RCU read-side critical section, so
a grace period can still end before the wakeup, e.g. if the task is
preempted in between. Before that commit, the VM was freed right away.
Put the queue only after the last use of the VM.
This was found with an AI coding assistant, which also drafted this
patch and its changelog. It has not been reproduced, and the change
has only been compile-tested.
