This patch fixes a race condition that causes a use-after-free during
amdgpu_dm_atomic_commit_tail. This can occur when 2 non-blocking
commits
are requested and the second one finishes before the first.
Essentially,
this bug occurs when the following sequence of events happens:
1. Non-blocking commit #1 is requested w/ a new dm_state #1 and is
deferred to the workqueue.
2. Non-blocking commit #2 is requested w/ a new dm_state #2 and is
deferred to the workqueue.
3. Commit #2 starts before commit #1, dm_state #1 is used in the
commit_tail and commit #2 completes, freeing dm_state #1.
4. Commit #1 starts after commit #2 completes, uses the freed dm_state
1 and dereferences a freelist pointer while setting the context.
Well I only have a one mile high view on this, but why don't you let
the work items execute in order?
That would be better anyway cause this way we don't trigger a cache
line ping pong between CPUs.
Christian.
We use the DRM helpers for managing drm_atomic_commit_state and those
helpers internally push non-blocking commit work into the system
unbound work queue.
Mhm, well if you send those helper atomic commits in the order A,B and
they execute it in the order B,A I would call that a bug :)
While we could duplicate a copy of that code with nothing but the
workqueue changed that isn't something I'd really like to maintain
going forward.
I'm not talking about duplicating the code, I'm talking about fixing the
helpers. I don't know that code well, but from the outside it sounds
like a bug there.
And executing work items in the order they are submitted is trivial.
Had anybody pinged Daniel or other people familiar with the helper code
about it?

Christian.

Since this bug has only been spotted with fast commits, this patch
fixes
the bug by clearing the dm_state instead of using the old dc_state for
fast updates. In addition, since dm_state is only used for its dc_state
and amdgpu_dm_atomic_commit_tail will retain the dc_state if none is
found,
removing the dm_state should not have any consequences in fast updates.
This use-after-free bug has existed for a while now, but only caused a
noticeable issue starting from 5.7-rc1 due to 3202fa62f ("slub:
relocate
freelist pointer to middle of object") moving the freelist pointer from
dm_state->base (which was unused) to dm_state->context (which is
dereferenced).

Fixes: bd200d190f45 ("drm/amd/display: Don't replace the dc_state
for fast updates")
