Subject: [PATCH] drm/virtio: check virtio_gpu_array_lock_resv() return in cursor update
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master


virtio_gpu_cursor_plane_update() calls virtio_gpu_array_lock_resv()
but ignores its return value. The function can fail in two ways:

  - dma_resv_lock_interruptible() returns -ERESTARTSYS when a signal
    is delivered while waiting for the reservation lock.
  - dma_resv_reserve_fences() returns -ENOMEM if it fails to allocate
    a fence slot; in this case lock_resv unlocks before returning.

In both cases the resv lock is not held on return. The cursor path
proceeds to queue a fenced transfer command. The queue path then
walks the object array and calls dma_resv_add_fence() on the cursor
BO's reservation. dma_resv_add_fence() requires the resv lock to be
held; with lockdep enabled the missing lock trips
dma_resv_assert_held():

  WARNING: drivers/dma-buf/dma-resv.c:296 at dma_resv_add_fence+0x71e/0x840
  Call Trace:
   virtio_gpu_array_add_fence+0xcd/0x140

   __x64_sys_ioctl+0x18e/0x210

Beyond the WARN, mutating the dma_resv fence list without the lock
races with concurrent readers/writers and can corrupt the list.

Check the return value of virtio_gpu_array_lock_resv(). On failure,
drop the references taken by virtio_gpu_array_add_obj() with
virtio_gpu_array_put_free() (which does not unlock, matching the
not-locked state) and return without queueing the command. A
skipped cursor frame is harmless; the WARN and the underlying race
are not.

The bug was reported by syzbot, triggered via fault injection
(fail_nth) on the DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CURSOR path, which forces the
-ENOMEM branch in dma_resv_reserve_fences().
