Subject: [PATCH 3.10 24/26] IB/qib: Convert qib_user_sdma_pin_pages() to use get_user_pages_fast()
Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:47:20 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140218224531.091301078@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140218224530.398913499@linuxfoundation.org>

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

commit 603e7729920e42b3c2f4dbfab9eef4878cb6e8fa upstream.

qib_user_sdma_queue_pkts() gets called with mmap_sem held for
writing. Except for get_user_pages() deep down in
qib_user_sdma_pin_pages() we don't seem to need mmap_sem at all.  Even
more interestingly the function qib_user_sdma_queue_pkts() (and also
qib_user_sdma_coalesce() called somewhat later) call copy_from_user()
which can hit a page fault and we deadlock on trying to get mmap_sem
when handling that fault.

So just make qib_user_sdma_pin_pages() use get_user_pages_fast() and
leave mmap_sem locking for mm.

This deadlock has actually been observed in the wild when the node
is under memory pressure.
