[PATCH v2 vfio 3/3] pds/vfio: Fix possible sleep while in atomic context

From: Brett Creeley
Date: Wed Oct 11 2023 - 19:01:49 EST


The driver could possibly sleep while in atomic context resulting
in the following call trace while CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y is
set:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:283
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 2817, name: bash
preempt_count: 1, expected: 0
RCU nest depth: 0, expected: 0
Call Trace:

This can happen if pds_vfio_put_restore_file() and/or
pds_vfio_put_save_file() grab the mutex_lock(&lm_file->lock)
while the spin_lock(&pds_vfio->reset_lock) is held, which can
happen during while calling pds_vfio_state_mutex_unlock().

Fix this by using a local state variable to represent the current
vfio device state and update all the next state values. Then
release the spin_unlock(&pds_vfio->reset_lock) before checking if
the current vfio device state is VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_ERROR. Then
calling pds_vfio_put_restore_file() and pds_vfio_put_save_file() are
no longer being done while holding the reset_lock.

The only possible concerns are other threads that may call
pds_vfio_put_restore_file(), pds_vfio_put_save_file(), and/or
pds_vfio_dirty_disable(). However, those paths are already protected
by the state mutex_lock(), which is held in this context.
