drm/i915: Clean up associated VMAs on context destruction
I added a WARN_ON assertion that VM's active list must be empty
at the time of owning context is getting freed, but that turned
out to be a wrong assumption.
Due ordering of operations in i915_gem_object_retire__read, where
contexts are unreferenced before VMAs are moved to the inactive
list, the described situation can in fact happen.
It feels wrong to do things in such order so this fix makes sure
a reference to context is held until the move to inactive list
is completed.
v2: Rather than hold a temporary context reference move the
request unreference to be the last operation. (Daniel Vetter)
v3: Fix use after free. (Chris Wilson)

Would result in less churn in the code and drop the unecessary indent
level. Also comment is missing as to why we need to do things in a
specific order.
Actually I think I changed my mind and that v1 is the way to go.
Just re-ordering the code here still makes it possible for the context
destructor to run with VMAs on the active list I think.
If we hold the context then it is 100% clear it is not possible.
request_assign _is_ the function which adjust the refcounts for us, which
means if we drop that reference too early then grabbing a temp reference
is just papering over the real bug.
Written out your patch looks something like
a_reference(a);
a_unreference(a);
/* more cleanup code that should get run before a_unreference but isn't
*/
a_unrefernce(a); /* for real this time */
Unfortunately foo_assign is a new pattern and not well-established, so
that connection isn't clear. Maybe we should rename it to
foo_reference_assign to make it more obvious. Or just drop the pretense
and open-code it since we unconditionally assign NULL as the new pointer
value, and we know the current value of the pointer is non-NULL. So
there's really no benefit to the helper here, it only obfuscates. And
since that obfuscation tripped you up it's time to remove it ;-)
Then foo_reference_unreference_assign. :)
But seriously, I think it is more complicated that..
The thing it trips over is that moving VMAs to inactive does not correspond
in time to request retirement. But in fact VMAs are moved to inactive only
when all requests associated with an object are done.
This is the unintuitive thing I was working around. To make sure when
context destructor runs there are not active VMAs for that VM.
I don't know how to guarantee that with what you propose. Perhaps I am
missing something?
Ok, my example was slightly off, since we have 2 objects:
b_reference(a->b);
a_unreference(a); /* might unref a->b if it's the last reference */
/* more cleanup code that should get run before a_unreference but isn't
*/
b_unrefernce(a->b); /* for real this time */
Holding the ref to a makes sure that b doesn't disappear. We rely on that
in a fundamental way (a request really needs the ctx to stick around), and
the bug really is that we drop the ref to a too early. That it's the
releasing of a->b which is eventually blowing things up doesn't really
matter.
Btw would it be possible to have an igt for this? I should be possible to
hit this with some varian of gem_unref_active_buffers.
I was trying to do that today and it is proving to be a bit tricky.
I need a blitter workload which will run for long enough for the retire
worker to run. So I'll try and build a bit bb tomorrow which will do that.
Alternatively I did this:

And that enables me to trigger the WARN from my igt even with the current
shorter blitter workload (copy 64Mb).
Going back to the original problem, how about something like this hunk for a
fix?

This moves VMAs immediately to inactive as requests are retired and avoids
the problem with them staying on active for undefined amount of time.
You can't put active objects onto the inactive list, i.e. the obj->active
Hm it is inactive in this VM so who would care?
The shrinker will fall over because of some long standing design mistake.
Well, that's only the obj->active vs. vma->active problem.
The real one is that you can have piles of concurrent read requests on a
specific vma even, and retiring the first one of those doesn't make the
vma inactive. So even with the active tracking design mistake fixed your
suggestion wouldn't work.
But it is *last_read_req* and it is getting assigned to NULL meaning
there are no other ones at that point.
Perhaps then the fix is simply to remove the
WARN_ON(!list_empty(&ppgtt->base.active_list)) from the context destructor.
If there are active VMAs at that point, they'll get cleaned up when they are
retired and there is no leak.
check is non-optional. And the if (ppgtt) case is abstraction violation.
I really don't get why we can't just move the unref to the right place ...
I don't see where.
