In vma destruction, the following race may occur: Thread 1: Thread 2: i915_vma_destroy(); ... list_del_init(vma->vm_link); ... mutex_unlock(vma->vm->mutex); __i915_vm_release(); release_references(); And in release_reference() we dereference vma->vm to get to the vm gt pointer, leading to a use-after free. However, __i915_vm_release() grabs the vm->mutex so the vm won't be destroyed before vma->vm->mutex is released, so extract the gt pointer under the vm->mutex to avoid the vma->vm dereference in release_references(). v2: Fix a typo in the commit message (Andi Shyti) Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/5944 Fixes: e1a7ab4fca ("drm/i915: Remove the vm open count") Cc: Niranjana Vishwanathapura <niranjana.vishwanathapura@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Thomas Hellström <thomas.hellstrom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_vma.c | 12 ++++++++---- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_vma.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_vma.c index 0bffb70b3c5f..04d12f278f57 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_vma.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_vma.c @@ -1637,10 +1637,10 @@ static void force_unbind(struct i915_vma *vma) GEM_BUG_ON(drm_mm_node_allocated(&vma->node)); } -static void release_references(struct i915_vma *vma, bool vm_ddestroy) +static void release_references(struct i915_vma *vma, struct intel_gt *gt, + bool vm_ddestroy) { struct drm_i915_gem_object *obj = vma->obj; - struct intel_gt *gt = vma->vm->gt; GEM_BUG_ON(i915_vma_is_active(vma)); @@ -1695,11 +1695,12 @@ void i915_vma_destroy_locked(struct i915_vma *vma) force_unbind(vma); list_del_init(&vma->vm_link); - release_references(vma, false); + release_references(vma, vma->vm->gt, false); } void i915_vma_destroy(struct i915_vma *vma) { + struct intel_gt *gt; bool vm_ddestroy; mutex_lock(&vma->vm->mutex); @@ -1707,8 +1708,11 @@ void i915_vma_destroy(struct i915_vma *vma) list_del_init(&vma->vm_link); vm_ddestroy = vma->vm_ddestroy; vma->vm_ddestroy = false; + + /* vma->vm may be freed when releasing vma->vm->mutex. */ + gt = vma->vm->gt; mutex_unlock(&vma->vm->mutex); - release_references(vma, vm_ddestroy); + release_references(vma, gt, vm_ddestroy); } void i915_vma_parked(struct intel_gt *gt) -- 2.34.3
