Hi, I updated the patch set with some suggestions by Daniel Vetter, and dropped the patches after patch 4 so that we can stick the landing for avoiding races with modesetting rights before dealing with the tricky spinlock. Overall, this series fixes races with modesetting rights, and converts drm_device.master_mutex into master_rwsem. - Patch 1: Fix a potential null ptr dereference in drm_master_release - Patch 2: Convert master_mutex into rwsem (avoids creating a new lock) - Patch 3: Update global mutex locking in the ioctl handler (avoids deadlock when grabbing read lock on master_rwsem in drm_ioctl_kernel) - Patch 4: Plug races with drm modesetting rights v8 -> v9 (suggested by Daniel Vetter): - Dropped patches 5-7 to handle it in another series - Added the appropriate Fixes: tag for the null ptr dereference fix (patch 1) - Create a locked_ioctl bool to clarify locking/unlocking patterns in the ioctl handler (patch 3) - Clarified the kernel doc for master_rwsem (patch 4) v7 -> v8: - Avoid calling drm_lease_held in drm_mode_setcrtc and drm_wait_vblank_ioctl, caught by Intel-gfx CI v6 -> v7: - Export __drm_mode_object_find for loadable modules, caught by the Intel-gfx CI v5 -> v6: - Fix recursive locking on master_rwsem, caught by the Intel-gfx CI v4 -> v5: - Avoid calling drm_file_get_master while holding on to the modeset mutex, caught by the Intel-gfx CI v3 -> v4 (suggested by Daniel Vetter): - Drop a patch that added an unnecessary master_lookup_lock in drm_master_release - Drop a patch that addressed a non-existent race in drm_is_current_master_locked - Remove fixes for non-existent null ptr dereferences - Protect drm_master.magic_map,unique{_len} with master_rwsem instead of master_lookup_lock - Drop the patch that moved master_lookup_lock into struct drm_device - Drop a patch to export task_work_add - Revert the check for the global mutex in the ioctl handler to use drm_core_check_feature instead of drm_dev_needs_global_mutex - Push down master_rwsem locking for selected ioctls to avoid lock hierarchy inversions, and to allow us to hold write locks on master_rwsem instead of flushing readers - Remove master_lookup_lock by replacing it with master_rwsem v2 -> v3: - Unexport drm_master_flush, as suggested by Daniel Vetter. - Merge master_mutex and master_rwsem, as suggested by Daniel Vetter. - Export task_work_add, reported by kernel test robot. - Make master_flush static, reported by kernel test robot. - Move master_lookup_lock into struct drm_device. - Add a missing lock on master_lookup_lock in drm_master_release. - Fix a potential race in drm_is_current_master_locked. - Fix potential null ptr dereferences in drm_{auth, ioctl}. - Protect magic_map,unique{_len} with master_lookup_lock. - Convert master_mutex into a rwsem. - Update global mutex locking in the ioctl handler. v1 -> v2 (suggested by Daniel Vetter): - Address an additional race when drm_open runs. - Switch from SRCU to rwsem to synchronise readers and writers. - Implement drm_master_flush with task_work so that flushes can be queued to run before returning to userspace without creating a new DRM_MASTER_FLUSH ioctl flag.
