Test-with: 20260330102400.1157658-1-krzysztof.karas@intel.com

Currently, i915 selftests use unknown process's address space to
perform mappings to userspace memory. This is problematic,
because there is no control over lifetime of the memory of such
task, so the test would occasionally borrow memory scheduled for
or in the middle of a cleanup causing SIGBUS errors.

Utilize user-provided PID of running userspace process to
perfofm mapping in a safe environment.

v4:
 * Rearrange the code in patches. (Janusz)

v5:
 * Move missing requirement warning to the test. (Janusz)

v6:
 * Move mm handling to new function (Andi).
 * Add checks for validity of user PID

Migration testing in i915 assumes current task's address space
to allocate new userspace mapping and uses it without
registering real user for that address space in mm_struct.
On single NUMA node setups PCI probe executes in the same
context as userspace process calling the test (i915_selftest
from IGT), but when multiple nodes are available, the PCI code
puts probe into a kernel workqueue. This switches execution in
a kworker, which does not have its own address space in
userspace and must borrow such memory from another process, so
"current->active_mm" is unknown at the start of the test.

It was observed that mm->mm_users would occasionally be 0
or drop to 0 during the test due to short delay between
scheduling and executing work in forked process, which reaped
userspace mappings, further leading to failures upon reading
from userland memory.

Prevent this by adding a PID parameter to a trusted task, so its
mm struct may be used if needed.

Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/i915/kernel/-/issues/14204
Fixes: 34b1c1c71d37 ("i915/selftest/igt_mmap: let mmap tests run in kthread")

v2 (Janusz):
 * Reword and shorten commit message to be more precise.
 * Reorder variable declarations to follow upside down christmas
 tree style.

v3 (Andi):
 * Prevent PID and mm leaks.
 * Remove a flag and use mm pointer to determine whether to
 release references to the memory.

v4:
 * Revert !current->mm check. (Janusz, Sebastian)
 * Drop refernce to mm sooner. (Janusz)
 * Ensure kthread_use_mm did its job. (Janusz)

v5 (Janusz):
 * Remove missing PID warning.

v6:
 * Move mm handling to a separate function. (Andi)
 * Validate user provided PID. (Janusz)

This set of tests require userspace memory to map objects,
so run them only if that memory is available.

v5 (Janusz):
 * Add warning when current->mm is missing.

v6 (Andi):
 * Shorten the warning upon no current->mm.

In this loop you have a few returns and we skip the mm cleanup.

This is a non-log. It's true that I asked to make logs a bit more
compact, but "No current->mm" means basically nothing.
