drm/virtio: reclaim pending vbufs before tearing down vqs
This commit drains unused vbuffers from the control and cursor virtqueues in
virtio_gpu_deinit() after resetting the device and before deleting the
virtqueues, releasing any held GEM object references and pending
RESOURCE_UNREF objects before the vbufs kmem_cache is destroyed.

[Severity: High]
Could flushing the workqueues before virtio_reset_device() in
virtio_gpu_deinit() race with virtio_gpu_reclaim_vbufs() and del_vqs()?
In drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_kms.c:virtio_gpu_deinit():
flush_work(&vgdev->obj_free_work);
flush_work(&vgdev->ctrlq.dequeue_work);
flush_work(&vgdev->cursorq.dequeue_work);
flush_work(&vgdev->config_changed_work);
virtio_reset_device(vgdev->vdev);
virtio_gpu_reclaim_vbufs(vgdev);
vgdev->vdev->config->del_vqs(vgdev->vdev);
Until virtio_reset_device(vgdev->vdev) completes, the virtio device can still
raise virtqueue and config interrupts (virtio_gpu_ctrl_ack(),
virtio_gpu_cursor_ack(), and virtio_gpu_config_changed()), which call
schedule_work() and can re-queue ctrlq.dequeue_work, cursorq.dequeue_work, and
config_changed_work after flush_work() has already returned. In the
virtio_gpu_probe() -> err_deinit path, drm_dev_unplug() is not called, so
config_changed_work can also queue new buffers into ctrlq.vq.
Since virtio_reset_device() does not cancel or flush already-scheduled work,
virtio_gpu_dequeue_ctrl_func() and virtio_gpu_dequeue_cursor_func() can run
concurrently with virtio_gpu_reclaim_vbufs() and del_vqs():
spin_lock(&vgdev->ctrlq.qlock);
do {
virtqueue_disable_cb(vgdev->ctrlq.vq);
reclaim_vbufs(vgdev->ctrlq.vq, &reclaim_list);
} while (!virtqueue_enable_cb(vgdev->ctrlq.vq));
spin_unlock(&vgdev->ctrlq.qlock);
Because virtio_gpu_reclaim_vbufs() calls virtqueue_detach_unused_buf() without
holding ctrlq.qlock or cursorq.qlock while dequeue_work is calling
virtqueue_get_buf(), can this corrupt virtqueue descriptor state (such as
vq->split.desc_state[i].data, vq->free_head, and vq->vq.num_free), double-free
vbuffers, or access the virtqueues while del_vqs() is freeing them?
Additionally, flush_work(&vgdev->obj_free_work) runs before
flush_work(&vgdev->ctrlq.dequeue_work), even though
virtio_gpu_dequeue_ctrl_func() schedules vgdev->obj_free_work via
virtio_gpu_array_put_free_delayed(). Can virtio_gpu_array_put_free_work() end
up running concurrently with or after virtio_gpu_release() ->
virtio_gpu_free_vbufs() and touch vgdev->vbufs while or after the kmem_cache
is destroyed?

[Severity: High]
Should virtio_gpu_reclaim_vbufs() also reset vgdev->pending_commands to avoid
a use-after-free on vgdev->ctrlq.vq in virtio_gpu_notify()?
Whenever a control buffer is queued via virtio_gpu_queue_ctrl_sgs() (or
virtio_gpu_panic_queue_ctrl_sgs()), vgdev->pending_commands is incremented:
ret = virtqueue_add_sgs(vq, sgs, outcnt, incnt, vbuf, GFP_ATOMIC);
WARN_ON(ret);
vbuf->seqno = ++vgdev->ctrlq.seqno;
trace_virtio_gpu_cmd_queue(vq, virtio_gpu_vbuf_ctrl_hdr(vbuf), vbuf->seqno);
atomic_inc(&vgdev->pending_commands);
Several command submission paths (such as virtio_gpu_object_create(),
virtio_gpu_vram_create(), virtio_gpu_mode_dumb_create(),
virtio_gpu_resource_create_ioctl(), virtio_gpu_resource_create_blob_ioctl(),
virtio_gpu_resource_assign_uuid(), virtio_gpu_prepare_imported_obj(), and
virtio_gpu_create_context()) queue vbuffers into vgdev->ctrlq.vq without
immediately calling virtio_gpu_notify(vgdev), leaving vgdev->pending_commands
non-zero.
When virtio_gpu_reclaim_vbufs() detaches those vbuffers, it does not reset or
decrement vgdev->pending_commands, and virtio_gpu_deinit() immediately frees
vgdev->ctrlq.vq via vgdev->vdev->config->del_vqs(vgdev->vdev).
If an open drm_file later releases a GEM object or closes (calling
virtio_gpu_gem_object_close(), virtio_gpu_free_object(),
virtio_gpu_vram_free(), virtgpu_dma_buf_free_obj(), or
virtio_gpu_driver_postclose() -> virtio_gpu_notify()), virtio_gpu_notify()
has no drm_dev_enter() guard and only checks vgdev->pending_commands:
void virtio_gpu_notify(struct virtio_gpu_device *vgdev)
{
bool notify;
if (!atomic_read(&vgdev->pending_commands))
return;
spin_lock(&vgdev->ctrlq.qlock);
atomic_set(&vgdev->pending_commands, 0);
notify = virtqueue_kick_prepare(vgdev->ctrlq.vq);
spin_unlock(&vgdev->ctrlq.qlock);
if (notify)
virtqueue_notify(vgdev->ctrlq.vq);
}
Won't virtio_gpu_notify() see the stale non-zero vgdev->pending_commands and
call virtqueue_kick_prepare() and virtqueue_notify() on the freed
vgdev->ctrlq.vq? Also, if virtio_gpu_array_put_free(vbuf->objs) inside
virtio_gpu_reclaim_vbufs() drops the final reference to a created GEM object,
virtio_gpu_free_object() synchronously calls virtio_gpu_notify(vgdev), which
would kick vgdev->ctrlq.vq after virtio_reset_device() has already reset the
device while virtqueue_detach_unused_buf() is draining the ring.
[Severity: High]
Can calling virtio_gpu_array_put_free(vbuf->objs) from
virtio_gpu_reclaim_vbufs() hang uninterruptibly in dma_fence_wait() when
releasing an imported DMA-BUF GEM object?
When VIRTGPU_PARAM_RESOURCE_BLOB is enabled without virgl 3D
(vgdev->has_resource_blob && !vgdev->has_virgl_3d), importing a DMA-BUF via
virtgpu_gem_prime_import() creates a GEM object with
obj->funcs = &virtgpu_gem_dma_buf_funcs (.free = virtgpu_dma_buf_free_obj) and
bo->attached = true. If that object is used on the primary plane via
virtio_gpu_primary_plane_update() -> virtio_gpu_resource_flush() and the
50ms wait times out, the vbuf remains in ctrlq.vq holding a reference to the
imported GEM object in vbuf->objs.
During virtio_gpu_remove(), drm_dev_unplug(dev) marks the DRM device
unplugged, drm_atomic_helper_shutdown(dev) drops the plane state's framebuffer
reference, and virtio_gpu_deinit() resets the device and calls
virtio_gpu_reclaim_vbufs(). When virtio_gpu_array_put_free(vbuf->objs) drops
the last reference to the imported object, it triggers
virtgpu_dma_buf_free_obj() -> virtgpu_dma_buf_unmap() ->
virtio_gpu_detach_object_fenced(bo):
int virtio_gpu_detach_object_fenced(struct virtio_gpu_object *bo)
{
struct virtio_gpu_device *vgdev = bo->base.base.dev->dev_private;
struct virtio_gpu_fence *fence;
if (!bo->attached)
return 0;
fence = virtio_gpu_fence_alloc(vgdev, vgdev->fence_drv.context, 0);
if (!fence)
return -ENOMEM;
virtio_gpu_object_detach(vgdev, bo, fence);
virtio_gpu_notify(vgdev);
dma_fence_wait(&fence->f, false);
dma_fence_put(&fence->f);
return 0;
}
Inside virtio_gpu_object_detach() -> virtio_gpu_cmd_resource_detach_backing()
-> virtio_gpu_queue_fenced_ctrl_buffer() -> virtio_gpu_queue_ctrl_sgs(),
drm_dev_enter() returns false because the device is unplugged:
if (!drm_dev_enter(vgdev->ddev, &idx)) {
if (fence && vbuf->objs)
virtio_gpu_array_unlock_resv(vbuf->objs);
free_vbuf(vgdev, vbuf);
return -ENODEV;
}
Since virtio_gpu_queue_ctrl_sgs() returns -ENODEV before
virtio_gpu_fence_emit() is called, and virtio_gpu_object_detach() ignores this
error, won't dma_fence_wait(&fence->f, false) in
virtio_gpu_detach_object_fenced() sleep forever waiting on a fence that was
never emitted and can never be signaled?
