[PATCH] drm/i915: Fix failure paths around initial fbdev allocation

[PATCH] drm/i915: Fix failure paths around initial fbdev allocation

[Tvrtko Ursulin]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com>

We had two failure modes here:

1.
Deadlock in intelfb_alloc failure path where it calls drm_framebuffer_remove,
which grabs the struct mutex and intelfb_create (caller of intelfb_alloc) was
already holding it.

2.
Double unreference on the object if __intel_framebuffer_create fails since
both it and the caller (intelfb_alloc) do the unreference.

I would suggest removing the unref from __intel_framebuffer_create().

Hm, the order of drm_gem_object_unreference() and drm_framebuffer_remove()
is reversed now, could this cause any issues?

Apart from that,

I will also test the patch and report back in a bit.

Thanks a lot,

That will be very useful. I did not test it extensively myself, just 
fired it off quickly since I was briefly hitting this failure path myself.

Sorry, I was confused myself:

Apart from the two issues you mentioned in the commit message there's
a third one fixed by this patch which could briefly be described as:

"Deadlock in intelfb_create failure path where it calls
drm_framebuffer_unreference, which grabs the struct mutex
and intelfb_create was already holding it."

Only that single issue was reported by me, the others were subsequently
discovered by you or your colleagues.

A somewhat more elaborate description is in my original report:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2015-June/067965.html

Okay the patch works for me (in the specific scenario on the
MacBook Pro where the existing fb is discarded because it is
too small and a new one is allocated).

PRTS did report some issue on Baytrail though:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2015-June/069978.html

One nitpick is that your commit message exceeds 72 characters per line.

Also, Ville had posted a suggestion which was not discussed further,
removing the drm_gem_object_unreference() from __intel_framebuffer_create()
in favor of the one you now removed from intelfb_alloc(). (Personally
I'm totally indifferent on that.)

Best regards,

Lukas

[PATCH] drm/i915: Fix failure paths around initial fbdev allocation

[Tvrtko Ursulin]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com>

We had three failure modes here:

1.
Deadlock in intelfb_alloc failure path where it calls
drm_framebuffer_remove, which grabs the struct mutex and intelfb_create
(caller of intelfb_alloc) was already holding it.

2.
Double unreference on the object if __intel_framebuffer_create fails
since both it and the caller (intelfb_alloc) do the unreference.

3.
Deadlock in intelfb_create failure path where it calls
drm_framebuffer_unreference, which grabs the struct mutex and
intelfb_create was already holding it.

v2:
   * Reformat commit msg to 72 chars. (Lukas Wunner)
   * Added third failure mode. (Lukas Wunner)

Ville, you suggested some changes earlier;

"""

Do you view that as an improvement in code clarity/organisation,
or you think my version is actually wrong for some reason?

The format is

Fixes: 60a5ca015ffd ("drm/i915: Add locking around framebuffer_references--")

See Documentation/SubmittingPatches on how to have git output that
format for you.

Re: [PATCH] drm/i915: Fix failure paths around initial fbdev allocation

[Lukas Wunner]

Hi,

not sure if another reaction from me is required, but in case there is:
The patch as quoted below LGTM now, so unless Ville vetoes because of
his suggestion (see below) I think this is ready for inclusion in 4.2.

Thanks,

Lukas

I find it rather unexpected that the function drops the passed
reference on error. My usual rule is: do nothing on error, if possible.

I just don't have time at the moment to evaluate the other call sites 
etc. So from my point of view it boils down to whether this patch 
improves things without making anything worse. If it does R-B would be 
cool. If it doesn't then it will have to make for free time to appear. 
Or someone is free to take it over.

Regards,

Tvrtko

I think Ville's suggestion is merited, right now the unref on failure
happens at the bottom of the call chain in __intel_framebuffer_create
while the ref happened further up in the call chain. This should really
be consolidated in the same place. That a double unref managed to sneak
into intelfb_alloc proves this is error prone.

I've just submitted a v3 which is functionally equivalent to Tvrtko's v2
but takes up Ville's suggestion. This consists of two patches now, the
first one being equivalent to Tvrtko's patch sans fix for the double unref,
the second one fixing the double unref by moving the unref further up the
call chain. Of course I've tested this, works for me.

Now you can decide for yourself which version you like better. :-)

Thanks,

Lukas
