From a337b64f0d5717248a0c894e2618e658e6a9de9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Janusz Krzysztofik janusz.krzysztofik@linux.intel.com Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2023 11:35:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Fix premature release of request's reusable memory
Infinite waits for completion of GPU activity have been observed in CI, mostly inside __i915_active_wait(), triggered by igt@gem_barrier_race or igt@perf@stress-open-close. Root cause analysis, based of ftrace dumps generated with a lot of extra trace_printk() calls added to the code, revealed loops of request dependencies being accidentally built, preventing the requests from being processed, each waiting for completion of another one's activity.
After we substitute a new request for a last active one tracked on a timeline, we set up a dependency of our new request to wait on completion of current activity of that previous one. While doing that, we must take care of keeping the old request still in memory until we use its attributes for setting up that await dependency, or we can happen to set up the await dependency on an unrelated request that already reuses the memory previously allocated to the old one, already released. Combined with perf adding consecutive kernel context remote requests to different user context timelines, unresolvable loops of await dependencies can be built, leading do infinite waits.
We obtain a pointer to the previous request to wait upon when we substitute it with a pointer to our new request in an active tracker, e.g. in intel_timeline.last_request. In some processing paths we protect that old request from being freed before we use it by getting a reference to it under RCU protection, but in others, e.g. __i915_request_commit() -> __i915_request_add_to_timeline() -> __i915_request_ensure_ordering(), we don't. But anyway, since the requests' memory is SLAB_FAILSAFE_BY_RCU, that RCU protection is not sufficient against reuse of memory.
We could protect i915_request's memory from being prematurely reused by calling its release function via call_rcu() and using rcu_read_lock() consequently, as proposed in v1. However, that approach leads to significant (up to 10 times) increase of SLAB utilization by i915_request SLAB cache. Another potential approach is to take a reference to the previous active fence.
When updating an active fence tracker, we first lock the new fence, substitute a pointer of the current active fence with the new one, then we lock the substituted fence. With this approach, there is a time window after the substitution and before the lock when the request can be concurrently released by an interrupt handler and its memory reused, then we may happen to lock and return a new, unrelated request.
Always get a reference to the current active fence first, before replacing it with a new one. Having it protected from premature release and reuse, lock it and then replace with the new one but only if not yet signalled via a potential concurrent interrupt nor replaced with another one by a potential concurrent thread, otherwise retry, starting from getting a reference to the new current one. Adjust users to not get a reference to the previous active fence themselves and always put the reference got by __i915_active_fence_set() when no longer needed.
v3: Fix lockdep splat reports and other issues caused by incorrect use of try_cmpxchg() (use (cmpxchg() != prev) instead) v2: Protect request's memory by getting a reference to it in favor of delegating its release to call_rcu() (Chris)
