Subject: [PATCH 4.19 21/29] fcntl: Fix potential deadlock in send_sig{io, urg}()

From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@...il.com>

commit 8d1ddb5e79374fb277985a6b3faa2ed8631c5b4c upstream.

Syzbot reports a potential deadlock found by the newly added recursive
read deadlock detection in lockdep:

[...] ========================================================
[...] WARNING: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected
[...] 5.9.0-rc2-syzkaller #0 Not tainted
[...] --------------------------------------------------------
[...] syz-executor.1/10214 just changed the state of lock:
[...] ffff88811f506338 (&f->f_owner.lock){.+..}-{2:2}, at: send_sigurg+0x1d/0x200
[...] but this lock was taken by another, HARDIRQ-safe lock in the past:
[...]  (&dev->event_lock){-...}-{2:2}
[...]
[...]
[...] and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.
[...]
[...]
[...] other info that might help us debug this:
[...] Chain exists of:
[...]   &dev->event_lock --> &new->fa_lock --> &f->f_owner.lock
[...]
[...]  Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
[...]
[...]        CPU0                    CPU1
[...]        ----                    ----
[...]   lock(&f->f_owner.lock);
[...]                                local_irq_disable();
[...]                                lock(&dev->event_lock);
[...]                                lock(&new->fa_lock);
[...]   <Interrupt>
[...]     lock(&dev->event_lock);
[...]
[...]  *** DEADLOCK ***

The corresponding deadlock case is as followed:

	CPU 0		CPU 1		CPU 2
	read_lock(&fown->lock);
			spin_lock_irqsave(&dev->event_lock, ...)
					write_lock_irq(&filp->f_owner.lock); // wait for the lock
			read_lock(&fown-lock); // have to wait until the writer release
					       // due to the fairness
	<interrupted>
	spin_lock_irqsave(&dev->event_lock); // wait for the lock

The lock dependency on CPU 1 happens if there exists a call sequence:

	input_inject_event():
	  spin_lock_irqsave(&dev->event_lock,...);
	  input_handle_event():
	    input_pass_values():
	      input_to_handler():
	        handler->event(): // evdev_event()
	          evdev_pass_values():
	            spin_lock(&client->buffer_lock);
	            __pass_event():
	              kill_fasync():
	                kill_fasync_rcu():
	                  read_lock(&fa->fa_lock);
	                  send_sigio():
	                    read_lock(&fown->lock);

To fix this, make the reader in send_sigurg() and send_sigio() use
read_lock_irqsave() and read_lock_irqrestore().
