[PATCH 1/1] iommu/amd: Use delayed mmu release notifier

From: Oded Gabbay
Date: Fri Oct 17 2014 - 17:43:38 EST


This patch makes use of the new delayed mmu release notifier feature in
mm code. This is necessary because on the one hand amd_iommu_unbind_pasid
must be called explicitly during the tear-down of a process, but on the
other hand, it could be called from a function (e.g. in amdkfd)
which is a call-back function for the mmu notifier release.
In such a case, amd_iommu_unbind_pasid must not free the pasid_state
object, as it is a member in the list of mmu release notifiers (and
freeing it in the middle of iterating the list will break the list).

Therefore, this patch delays the release of pasid_state to a later
call-back, which is called inside an srcu, and there we can freely
release the object.

The flow of function calls when a process is teared-down looks like this:
(This flow assumes that amdkfd is the client of amd_iommu_v2)

1. mmu release notifiers for the destroyed process are started to get called.

2. amd_iommu_v2 notifier gets called, and it calls a call-back
function (inv_ctx_cb). amdkfd, which implements this call-back function,
performs tear-down of the relevant queues per device per process.

3. Later, amdkfd's mmu notifier callback (kfd_process_notifier_release()) gets
called and releases more things that are related to the process.
In that function, amd_iommu_unbind_pasid() is explicitly called.

4. (current code) amd_iommu_unbind_pasid() frees the mmu notifier
object itself, which mustn't be freed while iterating over the list
of mmu notifiers.

4. (new code in this patch) amd_iommu_unbind_pasid() sets a delayed notifier,
using the delayed mmu release notifier feature (new in 3.17),
which does the actual release later, after the iteration over the list of
mmu notifiers is over.
