From 226e5ae9e5f9108beb0bde4ac69f68fe6210fed9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wilson Date: Fri, 2 Jan 2015 09:47:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Fix mutex->owner inspection race under DEBUG_MUTEXES If CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES is set, the mutex->owner field is only cleared if the mutex debugging is enabled which introduces a race in our mutex_is_locked_by() - i.e. we may inspect the old owner value before it is acquired by the new task. This is the root cause of this error: diff --git a/kernel/locking/mutex-debug.c b/kernel/locking/mutex-debug.c index 5cf6731..3ef3736 100644 --- a/kernel/locking/mutex-debug.c +++ b/kernel/locking/mutex-debug.c @@ -80,13 +80,13 @@ void debug_mutex_unlock(struct mutex *lock) DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->owner != current); DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(!lock->wait_list.prev && !lock->wait_list.next); - mutex_clear_owner(lock); } /* * __mutex_slowpath_needs_to_unlock() is explicitly 0 for debug * mutexes so that we can do it here after we've verified state. */ + mutex_clear_owner(lock); atomic_set(&lock->count, 1); } Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87955 Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula --- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c index c11603b4cf1d..76354d3ba925 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c @@ -5155,7 +5155,7 @@ static bool mutex_is_locked_by(struct mutex *mutex, struct task_struct *task) if (!mutex_is_locked(mutex)) return false; -#if defined(CONFIG_SMP) || defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES) +#if defined(CONFIG_SMP) && !defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES) return mutex->owner == task; #else /* Since UP may be pre-empted, we cannot assume that we own the lock */ -- 2.39.5
