    drm/i915/vma: Fix UAF on destroy against retire race · f3c71b2d

    Object debugging tools were sporadically reporting illegal attempts to
    free a still active i915 VMA object when parking a GT believed to be idle.

    That has been tracked down to be happening when another thread is
    deactivating the VMA inside __active_retire() helper, after the VMA's
    active counter has been already decremented to 0, but before deactivation
    of the VMA's object is reported to the object debugging tool.
    
    We could prevent from that race by serializing i915_active_fini() with
    __active_retire() via ref->tree_lock, but that wouldn't stop the VMA from
    being used, e.g. from __i915_vma_retire() called at the end of
    __active_retire(), after that VMA has been already freed by a concurrent
    i915_vma_destroy() on return from the i915_active_fini().  Then, we should
    rather fix the issue at the VMA level, not in i915_active.
    
    Since __i915_vma_parked() is called from __gt_park() on last put of the
    GT's wakeref, the issue could be addressed by holding the GT wakeref long
    enough for __active_retire() to complete before that wakeref is released
    and the GT parked.
    
    I believe the issue was introduced by commit d9393973 ("drm/i915:
    Remove the vma refcount") which moved a call to i915_active_fini() from
    a dropped i915_vma_release(), called on last put of the removed VMA kref,
    to i915_vma_parked() processing path called on last put of a GT wakeref.
    However, its visibility to the object debugging tool was suppressed by a
    bug in i915_active that was fixed two weeks later with commit e92eb246
    ("drm/i915/active: Fix missing debug object activation").
    
    A VMA associated with a request doesn't acquire a GT wakeref by itself.
    Instead, it depends on a wakeref held directly by the request's active
    intel_context for a GT associated with its VM, and indirectly on that
    intel_context's engine wakeref if the engine belongs to the same GT as the
    VMA's VM.  Those wakerefs are released asynchronously to VMA deactivation.
    
    Fix the issue by getting a wakeref for the VMA's GT when activating it,
    and putting that wakeref only after the VMA is deactivated.  However,
    exclude global GTT from that processing path, otherwise the GPU never goes
    idle.  Since __i915_vma_retire() may be called from atomic contexts, use
    async variant of wakeref put.  Also, to avoid circular locking dependency,
    take care of acquiring the wakeref before VM mutex when both are needed.
    
    v7: Add inline comments with justifications for:
        - using untracked variants of intel_gt_pm_get/put() (Nirmoy),
        - using async variant of _put(),
        - not getting the wakeref in case of a global GTT,
        - always getting the first wakeref outside vm->mutex.
    v6: Since __i915_vma_active/retire() callbacks are not serialized, storing
        a wakeref tracking handle inside struct i915_vma is not safe, and
        there is no other good place for that.  Use untracked variants of
        intel_gt_pm_get/put_async().
    v5: Replace "tile" with "GT" across commit description (Rodrigo),
      - avoid mentioning multi-GT case in commit description (Rodrigo),
      - explain why we need to take a temporary wakeref unconditionally inside
        i915_vma_pin_ww() (Rodrigo).
    v4: Refresh on top of commit 5e4e06e4 ("drm/i915: Track gt pm
        wakerefs") (Andi),
      - for more easy backporting, split out removal of former insufficient
        workarounds and move them to separate patches (Nirmoy).
      - clean up commit message and description a bit.
    v3: Identify root cause more precisely, and a commit to blame,
      - identify and drop former workarounds,
      - update commit message and description.
    v2: Get the wakeref before VM mutex to avoid circular locking dependency,
      - drop questionable Fixes: tag.
