Subject: [PATCH v2] RDMA/mlx5: Wait for in-flight page faults on implicit MR null_mkey dereg
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 14:50:17 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924065017.2424-1-lirongqing@baidu.com> (raw)

From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@baidu.com>

An implicit ODP MR (imr) publishes two mkeys into dev->odp_mkeys: the
main imr->mmkey and imr->null_mmkey (MLX5_MKEY_NULL). Both are stored via
mlx5r_store_odp_mkey(), which initialises their usecount to 1, and
find_odp_mkey() takes a reference on whichever mkey it finds for the
duration of a page fault.

__mlx5_ib_dereg_mr() erases and waits on the *main* mmkey usecount only.
For the null_mmkey, mlx5_ib_free_odp_mr() merely xa_erase()s it from
odp_mkeys and calls mlx5_core_destroy_mkey() -- it never waits for an
in-flight memory-scheme page fault (MLX5_MKEY_NULL) that holds a
reference on null_mmkey. After xa_erase(), find_odp_mkey() stops
returning the null_mmkey, but a fault already past the lookup still
holds a reference and dereferences the imr (via container_of and
pagefault_mr) after __mlx5_ib_dereg_mr() proceeds to kfree(mr).

Mirror the main-mmkey handling: after xa_erase() of null_mmkey, call
mlx5r_deref_wait_odp_mkey() to drop the reference taken at store time
and wait for any in-flight fault to finish before destroying the mkey
and freeing the imr.

mlx5r_deref_wait_odp_mkey() wakes and waits on null_mmkey.wait, so that
waitqueue must be initialised. The main mmkey's waitqueue is initialised
in mlx5_mr_cache_alloc(), but the null_mmkey is created through the raw
mlx5_core_create_mkey() (not the mlx5_ib_create_mkey() wrapper that
initialises the waitqueue) and nothing else sets it up, leaving it
zero-initialised. Initialising it in alloc_implicit_mr_null_mkey() right
after creation avoids a NULL pointer dereference in __wake_up_common()
when the waitqueue head's ->head.next is NULL.
