Subject: [PATCH 3.14 09/33] staging: comedi: fix circular locking dependency in comedi_mmap()
3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@....co.uk>
commit b34aa86f12e8848ba453215602c8c50fa63c4cb3 upstream.
Mmapping a comedi data buffer with lockdep checking enabled produced the
following kernel debug messages:
======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]

comedi_test/4160 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:

which lock already depends on the new lock.

lock(&dev->mutex#2);
lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
lock(&dev->mutex#2);
*** DEADLOCK ***
To avoid the circular dependency, just try to get the lock in
`comedi_mmap()` instead of blocking. Since the comedi device's main mutex
is heavily used, do a down-read of its `attach_lock` rwsemaphore
instead. Trying to down-read `attach_lock` should only fail if
some task has down-write locked it, and that is only done while the
comedi device is being attached to or detached from a low-level hardware
device.
Unfortunately, acquiring the `attach_lock` doesn't prevent another
task replacing the comedi data buffer we are trying to mmap. The
details of the buffer are held in a `struct comedi_buf_map` and pointed
to by `s->async->buf_map` where `s` is the comedi subdevice whose buffer
we are trying to map. The `struct comedi_buf_map` is already reference
counted with a `struct kref`, so we can stop it being freed prematurely.
Modify `comedi_mmap()` to call new function
`comedi_buf_map_from_subdev_get()` to read the subdevice's current
buffer map pointer and increment its reference instead of accessing
`async->buf_map` directly. Call `comedi_buf_map_put()` to decrement the
reference once the buffer map structure has been dealt with. (Note that
`comedi_buf_map_put()` does nothing if passed a NULL pointer.)
`comedi_buf_map_from_subdev_get()` checks the subdevice's buffer map
pointer has been set and the buffer map has been initialized enough for
`comedi_mmap()` to deal with it (specifically, check the `n_pages`
member has been set to a non-zero value). If all is well, the buffer
map's reference is incremented and a pointer to it is returned. The
comedi subdevice's spin-lock is used to protect the checks. Also use
the spin-lock in `__comedi_buf_alloc()` and `__comedi_buf_free()` to
protect changes to the subdevice's buffer map structure pointer and the
buffer map structure's `n_pages` member. (This checking of `n_pages` is
a bit clunky and I [Ian Abbott] plan to deal with it in the future.)
