If the client revokes the virtual address it asked to be mapped into GPU
space via userptr (by using anything along the lines of mmap, mprotect,
madvise, munmap, ftruncate etc) the mmu notifier sends a range
invalidate command to userptr. Upon receiving the invalidation signal
for the revoked range, we try to release the struct pages we pinned into
the GTT. However, this can fail if any of the GPU's VMA are pinned for
use by the hardware (i.e. despite the user's intention we cannot
relinquish the client's address range and keep uptodate with whatever is
placed in there). Currently we emit a few WARN so that we would notice
if this every occurred in the wild; it has. Sadly this means we need to
replace those WARNs with the proper SIGBUS to the offending clients
instead.

Why do we need to send a SIGBUS? It won't tear down the offending gem bo,
any new users will hopefully get it, and abusing SIGBUS without the thread
actually doing a memory access is a bit surprising. DRM_DEBUG seems to be
the most we can do here I think - I think userspace being able to do this
is just a fundamental property of userptr.

It is not the bo that is at fault but the *client's* *address* *space*
that is being changed. It is equivalent to mmap on a truncated file i.e.
if the client tries to use its mmapping after it has truncated the file
it is scolded via SIGBUS.

But existing SIGBUS is thread-bound and comes with the fault address
attached. This is just the gpu being a bit unhappy, so the SIGBUS comes
out of complete nowhere to smack the userspace thread. Any kind of SIGBUS
catcher userspace has for other reasons might be supremely surprised by
this and do stupid things. Hence I don't think throwing SIGBUS here is
correct behaviour. And there doesn't seem to be anything else suitable
really.

Te offending address is provided with the signal as far as I can see.

I think it is fine to do this, even required since the alternative is for GPU to keep using random memory indefinitely and userspace never gets to know.

And I don't see any reason to keep the process running who did such an elementary and serious mistake.

Is the only concern that the process can catch it and not exit?

I am just not sure about the locking requirement for for_each_process since existing call sites give conflicting examples. I don't see how turning the preemption off can be safe without the tasklist lock but perhaps I am wrong, don't know.

Tvrtko
