<id>urn:sha1:2d2f07a9948756acdcd8aed14b4596482f51ac0f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit bd46cece51a36ef088f22ef0416ac13b0a46d5b0 upstream.

Object creation is a careful dance where we must guarantee that the
object is fully constructed before it is visible to other threads, and
GEM buffer objects are no difference.

Final publishing happens by calling drm_gem_handle_create(). After
that the only allowed thing to do is call drm_gem_object_put() because
a concurrent call to the GEM_CLOSE ioctl with a correctly guessed id
(which is trivial since we have a linear allocator) can already tear
down the object again.

Luckily most drivers get this right, the very few exceptions I've
pinged the relevant maintainers for. Unfortunately we also need
drm_gem_handle_create() when creating additional handles for an
already existing object (e.g. GETFB ioctl or the various bo import
ioctl), and hence we cannot have a drm_gem_handle_create_and_put() as
the only exported function to stop these issues from happening.

Now unfortunately the implementation of drm_gem_handle_create() isn't
living up to standards: It does correctly finishe object
initialization at the global level, and hence is safe against a
concurrent tear down. But it also sets up the file-private aspects of
the handle, and that part goes wrong: We fully register the object in
the drm_file.object_idr before calling drm_vma_node_allow() or
obj-&gt;funcs-&gt;open, which opens up races against concurrent removal of
that handle in drm_gem_handle_delete().

Fix this with the usual two-stage approach of first reserving the
handle id, and then only registering the object after we've completed
the file-private setup.

Jacek reported this with a testcase of concurrently calling GEM_CLOSE
on a freshly-created object (which also destroys the object), but it
should be possible to hit this with just additional handles created
through import or GETFB without completed destroying the underlying
object with the concurrent GEM_CLOSE ioctl calls.

Note that the close-side of this race was fixed in f6cd7daecff5 ("drm:
Release driver references to handle before making it available
again"), which means a cool 9 years have passed until someone noticed
that we need to make this symmetry or there's still gaps left :-/
Without the 2-stage close approach we'd still have a race, therefore
that's an integral part of this bugfix.

More importantly, this means we can have NULL pointers behind
allocated id in our drm_file.object_idr. We need to check for that
now:

- drm_gem_handle_delete() checks for ERR_OR_NULL already

- drm_gem.c:object_lookup() also chekcs for NULL

- drm_gem_release() should never be called if there's another thread
  still existing that could call into an IOCTL that creates a new
  handle, so cannot race. For paranoia I added a NULL check to
  drm_gem_object_release_handle() though.

- most drivers (etnaviv, i915, msm) are find because they use
  idr_find(), which maps both ENOENT and NULL to NULL.

- drivers using idr_for_each_entry() should also be fine, because
  idr_get_next does filter out NULL entries and continues the
  iteration.

- The same holds for drm_show_memory_stats().

v2: Use drm_WARN_ON (Thomas)

<title>accel: Use XArray instead of IDR for minors</title>

<content type='text'>
Accel minor management is based on DRM (and is also using struct
drm_minor internally), since DRM is using XArray for minors, it makes
sense to also convert accel.
As the two implementations are identical (only difference being the
underlying xarray), move the accel_minor_* functionality to DRM.

<title>drm: Disable the cursor plane on atomic contexts with virtualized drivers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4e3b70da64a53784683cfcbac2deda5d6e540407</id>
<content type='text'>
Cursor planes on virtualized drivers have special meaning and require
that the clients handle them in specific ways, e.g. the cursor plane
should react to the mouse movement the way a mouse cursor would be
expected to and the client is required to set hotspot properties on it
in order for the mouse events to be routed correctly.

This breaks the contract as specified by the "universal planes". Fix it
by disabling the cursor planes on virtualized drivers while adding
a foundation on top of which it's possible to special case mouse cursor
planes for clients that want it.

Disabling the cursor planes makes some kms compositors which were broken,
e.g. Weston, fallback to software cursor which works fine or at least
better than currently while having no effect on others, e.g. gnome-shell
or kwin, which put virtualized drivers on a deny-list when running in
atomic context to make them fallback to legacy kms and avoid this issue.

<content type='text'>
With the typical model where the display server opens the file descriptor
and then hands it over to the client(*), we were showing stale data in
debugfs.

Fix it by updating the drm_file-&gt;pid on ioctl access from a different
process.

The field is also made RCU protected to allow for lockless readers. Update
side is protected with dev-&gt;filelist_mutex.

Before:

$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/clients
             command   pid dev master a   uid      magic
                Xorg  2344   0   y    y     0          0
                Xorg  2344   0   n    y     0          2
                Xorg  2344   0   n    y     0          3
                Xorg  2344   0   n    y     0          4

After:

$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/clients
             command  tgid dev master a   uid      magic
                Xorg   830   0   y    y     0          0
       xfce4-session   880   0   n    y     0          1
               xfwm4   943   0   n    y     0          2
           neverball  1095   0   n    y     0          3

More detailed and historically accurate description of various handover
implementation kindly provided by Emil Velikov:

"""
The traditional model, the server was the orchestrator managing the
primary device node. From the fd, to the master status and
authentication. But looking at the fd alone, this has varied across
the years.

IIRC in the DRI1 days, Xorg (libdrm really) would have a list of open
fd(s) and reuse those whenever needed, DRI2 the client was responsible
for open() themselves and with DRI3 the fd was passed to the client.

Around the inception of DRI3 and systemd-logind, the latter became
another possible orchestrator. Whereby Xorg and Wayland compositors
could ask it for the fd. For various reasons (hysterical and genuine
ones) Xorg has a fallback path going the open(), whereas Wayland
compositors are moving to solely relying on logind... some never had
fallback even.

Over the past few years, more projects have emerged which provide
functionality similar (be that on API level, Dbus, or otherwise) to
systemd-logind.
"""

v2:
 * Fixed typo in commit text and added a fine historical explanation
   from Emil.

<content type='text'>
Instead of the per minor directories only create a single debugfs
directory for the whole device directly when the device is initialized.

For DRM devices each minor gets a symlink to the per device directory
for now until we can be sure that this isn't useful any more in any way.

Accel devices create only the per device directory and also drops the mid
layer callback to create driver specific files.

v2: cleanup accel component as well
v3: fix typo when debugfs is disabled
v4: call drm_debugfs_dev_fini() during release as well,
    some kerneldoc typos fixed
v5: rebased and one more kerneldoc fix
