Subject: [PATCH] IB/mthca: Fix how mthca_map_user_db() calls gup
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2018 12:54:59 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180123205459.432-1-dave@stgolabs.net> (raw)

mthca_map_user_db() has two problems regarding the call to
get_user_pages():

(i) It is not done under mmap_sem.

(ii) It is done under the db_table mutex, which protects all
database related operations. Should any of these be called
under mmap_sem, we get an ABBA deadlock. In addition, gup can
be performance intensive, which could contend other mapping/
unmapping ops.

To fix this, we can drop the mutex while doing a gup_fast(),
once done, recheck to see the page was mapped while we didn't
hold the mutex, and exit out with the corresponding housekeeping.

- Compile tested only.

- Should I be wrong about no callers already holding mmap_sem,
  I still think calling gup without the mutex makes sense for
  improved paralellism. Now, if callers can hold the mmap_sem,
  it's wrong to do copy_from_user right before calling mthca_map_user_db.
