If the trylock on the hmm->mirrors_sem fails the function will return without decrementing the notifiers that were previously incremented. Since the caller will not call invalidate_range_end() on EAGAIN this will result in notifiers becoming permanently incremented and deadlock. If the sync_cpu_device_pagetables() required blocking the function will not return EAGAIN even though the device continues to touch the pages. This is a violation of the mmu notifier contract. Switch, and rename, the ranges_lock to a spin lock so we can reliably obtain it without blocking during error unwind. The error unwind is necessary since the notifiers count must be held incremented across the call to sync_cpu_device_pagetables() as we cannot allow the range to become marked valid by a parallel invalidate_start/end() pair while doing sync_cpu_device_pagetables().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
