[PATCH 5/5] drm: allocate kernel mode-object IDs in cyclic fashion

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Now that we support connector hotplugging, user-space might see
mode-object IDs coming and going asynchronously. Therefore, we must make
sure to not re-use object IDs, so to not confuse user-space and introduce
races. Therefore, all kernel-allocated objects will no longer recycle
IDs. Instead, we use the cyclic idr allocator (which performs still fine
for reasonable allocation schemes).

However, for user-space allocated objects like framebuffers, we don't
want to risk allowing malicious users to screw with the ID space.
Furthermore, those objects happen to not be subject to ID hotplug races,
as they're allocated and freed explicitly. Hence, we still recycle IDs
for these objects (which are just framebuffers so far).

For atomic-modesetting, objects are looked up by the kernel without
specifying an object-type. Hence, we have a theoretical race where a
framebuffer recycles a previous connector ID. However, user-allocated
objects are never returned by drm_mode_object_find() (as they need
separate ref-count handling), so this race cannot happen with the
currently available objects. Even if we add ref-counting to other
objects, all we need to make sure is to never lookup user-controlled
objects with the same function as kernel-controlled objects, but not
specifying the type. This sounds highly unlikely to happen ever, so we
should be safe, anyway.
