Full audit of everyone:
- i915, radeon, amdgpu should be clean per their maintainers.
- vram helpers should be fine, they don't do command submission, so
really no business holding struct_mutex while doing copy_*_user. But
I haven't checked them all.
- panfrost seems to dma_resv_lock only in panfrost_job_push, which
looks clean.
- v3d holds dma_resv locks in the tail of its v3d_submit_cl_ioctl(),
copying from/to userspace happens all in v3d_lookup_bos which is
outside of the critical section.
- vmwgfx has a bunch of ioctls that do their own copy_*_user:
- vmw_execbuf_process: First this does some copies in
vmw_execbuf_cmdbuf() and also in the vmw_execbuf_process() itself.
Then comes the usual ttm reserve/validate sequence, then actual
submission/fencing, then unreserving, and finally some more
copy_to_user in vmw_execbuf_copy_fence_user. Glossing over tons of
details, but looks all safe.
- vmw_fence_event_ioctl: No ttm_reserve/dma_resv_lock anywhere to be
seen, seems to only create a fence and copy it out.
- a pile of smaller ioctl in vmwgfx_ioctl.c, no reservations to be
found there.
Summary: vmwgfx seems to be fine too.
- virtio: There's virtio_gpu_execbuffer_ioctl, which does all the
copying from userspace before even looking up objects through their
handles, so safe. Plus the getparam/getcaps ioctl, also both safe.
- qxl only has qxl_execbuffer_ioctl, which calls into
qxl_process_single_command. There's a lovely comment before the
__copy_from_user_inatomic that the slowpath should be copied from
i915, but I guess that never happened. Try not to be unlucky and get
your CS data evicted between when it's written and the kernel tries
to read it. The only other copy_from_user is for relocs, but those
are done before qxl_release_reserve_list(), which seems to be the
only thing reserving buffers (in the ttm/dma_resv sense) in that
code. So looks safe.
- A debugfs file in nouveau_debugfs_pstate_set() and the usif ioctl in
usif_ioctl() look safe. nouveau_gem_ioctl_pushbuf() otoh breaks this
everywhere and needs to be fixed up.
v2: Thomas pointed at that vmwgfx calls dma_resv_init while it holds a
dma_resv lock of a different object already. Christian mentioned that
ttm core does this too for ghost objects. intel-gfx-ci highlighted
that i915 has similar issues.
Unfortunately we can't do this in the usual module init functions,
because kernel threads don't have an ->mm - we have to wait around for
some user thread to do this.
Solution is to spawn a worker (but only once). It's horrible, but it
works.
v3: We can allocate mm! (Chris). Horrible worker hack out, clean
initcall solution in.
v4: Annotate with __init (Rob Herring)

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.
