While checking the master status of the DRM file in drm_is_current_master(), the device's master mutex should be held. Without the mutex, the pointer fpriv->master may be freed concurrently by another process calling drm_setmaster_ioctl(). This could lead to use-after-free errors when the pointer is subsequently dereferenced in drm_lease_owner(). The callers of drm_is_current_master() from drm_auth.c hold the device's master mutex, but external callers do not. Hence, we implement drm_is_current_master_locked() to be used within drm_auth.c, and modify drm_is_current_master() to grab the device's master mutex before checking the master status. Additionally, to avoid a circular lock dependency by introducing drm_device.master_mutex into drm_is_current_master(), we move the call to drm_is_current_master() in drm_mode_getconnector out from the section locked by &dev->mode_config.mutex. Failing to avoid this lock dependency produces the following lockdep splat: ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 5.13.0-rc7-CI-CI_DRM_10254+ #1 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ kms_frontbuffer/1087 is trying to acquire lock: ffff88810dcd01a8 (&dev->master_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: drm_is_current_master+0x1b/0x40 but task is already holding lock: ffff88810dcd0488 (&dev->mode_config.mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: drm_mode_getconnector+0x1c6/0x4a0 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #2 (&dev->mode_config.mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}: __mutex_lock+0xab/0x970 drm_client_modeset_probe+0x22e/0xca0 __drm_fb_helper_initial_config_and_unlock+0x42/0x540 intel_fbdev_initial_config+0xf/0x20 [i915] async_run_entry_fn+0x28/0x130 process_one_work+0x26d/0x5c0 worker_thread+0x37/0x380 kthread+0x144/0x170 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 -> #1 (&client->modeset_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}: __mutex_lock+0xab/0x970 drm_client_modeset_commit_locked+0x1c/0x180 drm_client_modeset_commit+0x1c/0x40 __drm_fb_helper_restore_fbdev_mode_unlocked+0x88/0xb0 drm_fb_helper_set_par+0x34/0x40 intel_fbdev_set_par+0x11/0x40 [i915] fbcon_init+0x270/0x4f0 visual_init+0xc6/0x130 do_bind_con_driver+0x1e5/0x2d0 do_take_over_console+0x10e/0x180 do_fbcon_takeover+0x53/0xb0 register_framebuffer+0x22d/0x310 __drm_fb_helper_initial_config_and_unlock+0x36c/0x540 intel_fbdev_initial_config+0xf/0x20 [i915] async_run_entry_fn+0x28/0x130 process_one_work+0x26d/0x5c0 worker_thread+0x37/0x380 kthread+0x144/0x170 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 -> #0 (&dev->master_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}: __lock_acquire+0x151e/0x2590 lock_acquire+0xd1/0x3d0 __mutex_lock+0xab/0x970 drm_is_current_master+0x1b/0x40 drm_mode_getconnector+0x37e/0x4a0 drm_ioctl_kernel+0xa8/0xf0 drm_ioctl+0x1e8/0x390 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x6a/0xa0 do_syscall_64+0x39/0xb0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae other info that might help us debug this: Chain exists of: &dev->master_mutex --> &client->modeset_mutex --> &dev->mode_config.mutex Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&dev->mode_config.mutex); lock(&client->modeset_mutex); lock(&dev->mode_config.mutex); lock(&dev->master_mutex); *** DEADLOCK *** 1 lock held by kms_frontbuffer/1087: #0: ffff88810dcd0488 (&dev->mode_config.mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: drm_mode_getconnector+0x1c6/0x4a0 stack backtrace: CPU: 7 PID: 1087 Comm: kms_frontbuffer Not tainted 5.13.0-rc7-CI-CI_DRM_10254+ #1 Hardware name: Intel Corporation Ice Lake Client Platform/IceLake U DDR4 SODIMM PD RVP TLC, BIOS ICLSFWR1.R00.3234.A01.1906141750 06/14/2019 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x7f/0xad check_noncircular+0x12e/0x150 __lock_acquire+0x151e/0x2590 lock_acquire+0xd1/0x3d0 __mutex_lock+0xab/0x970 drm_is_current_master+0x1b/0x40 drm_mode_getconnector+0x37e/0x4a0 drm_ioctl_kernel+0xa8/0xf0 drm_ioctl+0x1e8/0x390 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x6a/0xa0 do_syscall_64+0x39/0xb0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae Reported-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Desmond Cheong Zhi Xi <desmondcheongzx@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_auth.c | 51 +++++++++++++++++++++------------ drivers/gpu/drm/drm_connector.c | 5 +++- 2 files changed, 36 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_auth.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_auth.c index f00e5abdbbf4..ab1863c5a5a0 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_auth.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_auth.c @@ -61,6 +61,35 @@ * trusted clients. */ +static bool drm_is_current_master_locked(struct drm_file *fpriv) +{ + lockdep_assert_held_once(&fpriv->minor->dev->master_mutex); + + return fpriv->is_master && drm_lease_owner(fpriv->master) == fpriv->minor->dev->master; +} + +/** + * drm_is_current_master - checks whether @priv is the current master + * @fpriv: DRM file private + * + * Checks whether @fpriv is current master on its device.
