[PATCH v3] drm/amdxdna: fix pinned_vm accounting and error handling in user buffer pinning
From: Vineet Agarwal
Date: Sun May 03 2026 - 01:53:25 EST
amdxdna_get_ubuf() incorrectly accounted mm->pinned_vm using the
requested number of pages before pin_user_pages_fast() completed.
Since pin_user_pages_fast() can return partial success, this could
lead to incorrect accounting and inconsistent cleanup on failure.
Additionally, the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK check was performed after pinning,
allowing excessive pin attempts before validation.
Fix this by:
- checking RLIMIT_MEMLOCK before attempting to pin pages
- handling partial pinning correctly and ensuring proper cleanup
- updating mm->pinned_vm only after all pages are successfully pinned
- removing incorrect error-path accounting and double-subtraction
Also fix missing rollback when dma_buf_export() fails, which could
leave mm->pinned_vm incremented without a corresponding release.
This ensures correct pinned memory accounting and consistent error
handling aligned with other subsystems using GUP.
