[PATCH v3] kernel/resource: Fix locking in request_free_mem_region

[Alistair Popple]

request_free_mem_region() is used to find an empty range of physical
addresses for hotplugging ZONE_DEVICE memory. It does this by iterating
over the range of possible addresses using region_intersects() to see if
the range is free.

region_intersects() obtains a read lock before walking the resource tree
to protect against concurrent changes. However it drops the lock prior
to returning. This means by the time request_mem_region() is called in
request_free_mem_region() another thread may have already reserved the
requested region resulting in unexpected failures and a message in the
kernel log from hitting this condition:

        /*
         * mm/hmm.c reserves physical addresses which then
         * become unavailable to other users.  Conflicts are
         * not expected.  Warn to aid debugging if encountered.
         */
        if (conflict->desc == IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY) {
                pr_warn("Unaddressable device %s %pR conflicts with %pR",
                        conflict->name, conflict, res);

To fix this create versions of region_intersects() and
request_mem_region() that allow the caller to take the appropriate lock
such that it may be held over the required calls.

Instead of creating another version of devm_request_mem_region() that
doesn't take the lock open-code it to allow the caller to pre-allocate
the required memory prior to taking the lock.

Fixes: 0c385190392d8 ("resource: add a not device managed request_free_mem_region variant")
Fixes: 0092908d16c60 ("mm: factor out a devm_request_free_mem_region helper")
Fixes: 4ef589dc9b10c ("mm/hmm/devmem: device memory hotplug using ZONE_DEVICE")

Hi Andrew,

This fixes a boot issue reported by the kernel test robot with the
previous version of the patch on x86 with CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=y.
This was due to the platform specific implementation of
devmem_is_allowed() creating a recursive lock which I missed. I notice
you have put v2 in mmtom so apologies for the churn but can you please
use this version instead? Thanks.

 - Alistair
