drm/i915: Fix mutex->owner inspection race under DEBUG_MUTEXES
commit 226e5ae9 upstream. If CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES is set, the mutex->owner field is only cleared if the mutex debugging is enabled which introduces a race in our mutex_is_locked_by() - i.e. we may inspect the old owner value before it is acquired by the new task. This is the root cause of this error: # diff --git a/kernel/locking/mutex-debug.c b/kernel/locking/mutex-debug.c # index 5cf6731..3ef3736 100644 # --- a/kernel/locking/mutex-debug.c # +++ b/kernel/locking/mutex-debug.c # @@ -80,13 +80,13 @@ void debug_mutex_unlock(struct mutex *lock) # DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->owner != current); # # DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(!lock->wait_list.prev && !lock->wait_list.next); # - mutex_clear_owner(lock); # } # # /* # * __mutex_slowpath_needs_to_unlock() is explicitly 0 for debug # * mutexes so that we can do it here after we've verified state. # */ # + mutex_clear_owner(lock); # atomic_set(&lock->count, 1); # } Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87955Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz>
