This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled drm/atomic: If the atomic check fails, return its value first to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: drm-atomic-if-the-atomic-check-fails-return-its-value-first.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From a0ffc51e20e90e0c1c2491de2b4b03f48b6caaba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 11:57:06 +0200 Subject: drm/atomic: If the atomic check fails, return its value first From: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit a0ffc51e20e90e0c1c2491de2b4b03f48b6caaba upstream. The last part of drm_atomic_check_only is testing whether we need to fail with -EINVAL when modeset is not allowed, but forgets to return the value when atomic_check() fails first. This results in -EDEADLK being replaced by -EINVAL, and the sanity check in drm_modeset_drop_locks kicks in: [ 308.531734] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 308.531791] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1886 at drivers/gpu/drm/drm_modeset_lock.c:217 drm_modeset_drop_locks+0x33/0xc0 [drm] [ 308.531828] Modules linked in: [ 308.532050] CPU: 0 PID: 1886 Comm: kms_atomic Tainted: G U W 4.13.0-rc5-patser+ #5225 [ 308.532082] Hardware name: NUC5i7RYB, BIOS RYBDWi35.86A.0246.2015.0309.1355 03/09/2015 [ 308.532124] task: ffff8800cd9dae00 task.stack: ffff8800ca3b8000 [ 308.532168] RIP: 0010:drm_modeset_drop_locks+0x33/0xc0 [drm] [ 308.532189] RSP: 0018:ffff8800ca3bf980 EFLAGS: 00010282 [ 308.532211] RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: ffff8800ca3bfaf8 RCX: 0000000013a171e6 [ 308.532235] RDX: 1ffff10019477f69 RSI: ffffffffa8ba4fa0 RDI: ffff8800ca3bfb48 [ 308.532258] RBP: ffff8800ca3bf998 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000003 [ 308.532281] R10: 0000000079dbe066 R11: 00000000f760b34b R12: 0000000000000001 [ 308.532304] R13: dffffc0000000000 R14: 00000000ffffffea R15: ffff880096889680 [ 308.532328] FS: 00007ff00959cec0(0000) GS:ffff8800d4e00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 308.532359] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 308.532380] CR2: 0000000000000008 CR3: 00000000ca2e3000 CR4: 00000000003406f0 [ 308.532402] Call Trace: [ 308.532440] drm_mode_atomic_ioctl+0x19fa/0x1c00 [drm] [ 308.532488] ? drm_atomic_set_property+0x1220/0x1220 [drm] [ 308.532565] ? avc_has_extended_perms+0xc39/0xff0 [ 308.532593] ? lock_downgrade+0x610/0x610 [ 308.532640] ? drm_atomic_set_property+0x1220/0x1220 [drm] [ 308.532680] drm_ioctl_kernel+0x154/0x1a0 [drm] [ 308.532755] drm_ioctl+0x624/0x8f0 [drm] [ 308.532858] ? drm_atomic_set_property+0x1220/0x1220 [drm] [ 308.532976] ? drm_getunique+0x210/0x210 [drm] [ 308.533061] do_vfs_ioctl+0xd92/0xe40 [ 308.533121] ? ioctl_preallocate+0x1b0/0x1b0 [ 308.533160] ? selinux_capable+0x20/0x20 [ 308.533191] ? do_fcntl+0x1b1/0xbf0 [ 308.533219] ? kasan_slab_free+0xa2/0xb0 [ 308.533249] ? f_getown+0x4b/0xa0 [ 308.533278] ? putname+0xcf/0xe0 [ 308.533309] ? security_file_ioctl+0x57/0x90 [ 308.533342] SyS_ioctl+0x4e/0x80 [ 308.533374] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x18/0xad [ 308.533405] RIP: 0033:0x7ff00779e4d7 [ 308.533431] RSP: 002b:00007fff66a043d8 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000010 [ 308.533481] RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 000000e7c7ca5910 RCX: 00007ff00779e4d7 [ 308.533560] RDX: 00007fff66a04430 RSI: 00000000c03864bc RDI: 0000000000000003 [ 308.533608] RBP: 00007ff007a5fb00 R08: 000000e7c7ca4620 R09: 000000e7c7ca5e60 [ 308.533647] R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000070 [ 308.533685] R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 000000e7c7ca5930 [ 308.533770] Code: ff df 55 48 89 e5 41 55 41 54 53 48 89 fb 48 83 c7 50 48 89 fa 48 c1 ea 03 80 3c 02 00 74 05 e8 94 d4 16 e7 48 83 7b 50 00 74 02 <0f> ff 4c 8d 6b 58 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 4c 89 ea 48 c1 [ 308.534086] ---[ end trace 77f11e53b1df44ad ]--- Solve this by adding the missing return. This is also a bugfix because we could end up rejecting updates with -EINVAL because of a early -EDEADLK, while if atomic_check ran to completion it might have downgraded the modeset to a fastset.
