Nicholas Kazlauskas 96ce54b24c drm: Block fb changes for async plane updates
commit 25dc194b34 upstream.

The prepare_fb call always happens on new_plane_state.

The drm_atomic_helper_cleanup_planes checks to see if
plane state pointer has changed when deciding to call cleanup_fb on
either the new_plane_state or the old_plane_state.

For a non-async atomic commit the state pointer is swapped, so this
helper calls prepare_fb on the new_plane_state and cleanup_fb on the
old_plane_state. This makes sense, since we want to prepare the
framebuffer we are going to use and cleanup the the framebuffer we are
no longer using.

For the async atomic update helpers this differs. The async atomic
update helpers perform in-place updates on the existing state. They call
drm_atomic_helper_cleanup_planes but the state pointer is not swapped.
This means that prepare_fb is called on the new_plane_state and
cleanup_fb is called on the new_plane_state (not the old).

In the case where old_plane_state->fb == new_plane_state->fb then
there should be no behavioral difference between an async update
and a non-async commit. But there are issues that arise when
old_plane_state->fb != new_plane_state->fb.

The first is that the new_plane_state->fb is immediately cleaned up
after it has been prepared, so we're using a fb that we shouldn't
be.

The second occurs during a sequence of async atomic updates and
non-async regular atomic commits. Suppose there are two framebuffers
being interleaved in a double-buffering scenario, fb1 and fb2:

- Async update, oldfb = NULL, newfb = fb1, prepare fb1, cleanup fb1
- Async update, oldfb = fb1, newfb = fb2, prepare fb2, cleanup fb2
- Non-async commit, oldfb = fb2, newfb = fb1, prepare fb1, cleanup fb2

We call cleanup_fb on fb2 twice in this example scenario, and any
further use will result in use-after-free.

The simple fix to this problem is to block framebuffer changes
in the drm_atomic_helper_async_check function for now.

v2: Move check by itself, add a FIXME (Daniel)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
