commit 3e7abe2556 upstream.
When unbinding a device so that I could pass it through to a KVM VM, I
got the lockdep report below. It looks like a legitimate lock
ordering problem:
- domain_context_mapping_one() takes iommu->lock and calls
iommu_support_dev_iotlb(), which takes device_domain_lock (inside
iommu->lock).
- domain_remove_one_dev_info() starts by taking device_domain_lock
then takes iommu->lock inside it (near the end of the function).
So this is the classic AB-BA deadlock. It looks like a safe fix is to
simply release device_domain_lock a bit earlier, since as far as I can
tell, it doesn't protect any of the stuff accessed at the end of
domain_remove_one_dev_info() anyway.
BTW, the use of device_domain_lock looks a bit unsafe to me... it's
at least not obvious to me why we aren't vulnerable to the race below:
iommu_support_dev_iotlb()
domain_remove_dev_info()
lock device_domain_lock
find info
unlock device_domain_lock
lock device_domain_lock
find same info
unlock device_domain_lock
free_devinfo_mem(info)
do stuff with info after it's free
However I don't understand the locking here well enough to know if
this is a real problem, let alone what the best fix is.
Anyway here's the full lockdep output that prompted all of this:
