Subject: [PATCH] x86/sgx: Synchronize encl->srcu in sgx_encl_release().
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2020 23:40:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201215214028.55352-1-jarkko@kernel.org> (raw)

Add synchronize_srcu_expedited() to sgx_encl_release() to catch a grace
period initiated by sgx_mmu_notifier_release().

A trivial example of a failing sequence with tasks A and B:

1. A: -> sgx_release()
2. B: -> sgx_mmu_notifier_release()
3. B: -> list_del_rcu()
3. A: -> sgx_encl_release()
4. A: -> cleanup_srcu_struct()

The loop in sgx_release() observes an empty list because B has removed its
entry in the middle, and calls cleanup_srcu_struct() before B has a chance
to calls synchronize_srcu().
