[PATCH v3 0/9] Move all drivers to a common dma-buf locking convention

From: Dmitry Osipenko
Date: Wed Aug 24 2022 - 06:23:47 EST


Hello,

This series moves all drivers to a dynamic dma-buf locking specification.
>From now on all dma-buf importers are made responsible for holding
dma-buf's reservation lock around all operations performed over dma-bufs
in accordance to the locking specification. This allows us to utilize
reservation lock more broadly around kernel without fearing of a potential
deadlocks.

This patchset passes all i915 selftests. It was also tested using VirtIO,
Panfrost, Lima, Tegra, udmabuf, AMDGPU and Nouveau drivers. I tested cases
of display+GPU, display+V4L and GPU+V4L dma-buf sharing (where appropriate),
which covers majority of kernel drivers since rest of the drivers share
same or similar code paths.

Changelog:

v3: - Factored out dma_buf_mmap_unlocked() and attachment functions
into aseparate patches, like was suggested by Christian König.

- Corrected and factored out dma-buf locking documentation into
a separate patch, like was suggested by Christian König.

- Intel driver dropped the reservation locking fews days ago from
its BO-release code path, but we need that locking for the imported
GEMs because in the end that code path unmaps the imported GEM.
So I added back the locking needed by the imported GEMs, updating
the "dma-buf attachment locking specification" patch appropriately.

- Tested Nouveau+Intel dma-buf import/export combo.

- Tested udmabuf import to i915/Nouveau/AMDGPU.

- Fixed few places in Etnaviv, Panfrost and Lima drivers that I missed
to switch to locked dma-buf vmapping in the drm/gem: Take reservation
lock for vmap/vunmap operations" patch. In a result invalidated the
Christian's r-b that he gave to v2.

- Added locked dma-buf vmap/vunmap functions that are needed for fixing
vmappping of Etnaviv, Panfrost and Lima drivers mentioned above.
I actually had this change stashed for the drm-shmem shrinker patchset,
but then realized that it's already needed by the dma-buf patches.
Also improved my tests to better cover these code paths.

v2: - Changed locking specification to avoid problems with a cross-driver
ww locking, like was suggested by Christian König. Now the attach/detach
callbacks are invoked without the held lock and exporter should take the
lock.

- Added "locking convention" documentation that explains which dma-buf
functions and callbacks are locked/unlocked for importers and exporters,
which was requested by Christian König.

- Added ack from Tomasz Figa to the V4L patches that he gave to v1.
