Pierre-Eric Pelloux-Prayer 70150b9443 drm/sched: Fix deadlock in drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb
commit 487df8b698345dd5a91346335f05170ed5f29d4e upstream.

The Mesa issue referenced below pointed out a possible deadlock:

[ 1231.611031]  Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

[ 1231.611033]        CPU0                    CPU1
[ 1231.611034]        ----                    ----
[ 1231.611035]   lock(&xa->xa_lock#17);
[ 1231.611038]                                local_irq_disable();
[ 1231.611039]                                lock(&fence->lock);
[ 1231.611041]                                lock(&xa->xa_lock#17);
[ 1231.611044]   <Interrupt>
[ 1231.611045]     lock(&fence->lock);
[ 1231.611047]
                *** DEADLOCK ***

In this example, CPU0 would be any function accessing job->dependencies
through the xa_* functions that don't disable interrupts (eg:
drm_sched_job_add_dependency(), drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb()).

CPU1 is executing drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb() as a fence signalling
callback so in an interrupt context. It will deadlock when trying to
grab the xa_lock which is already held by CPU0.

Replacing all xa_* usage by their xa_*_irq counterparts would fix
this issue, but Christian pointed out another issue: dma_fence_signal
takes fence.lock and so does dma_fence_add_callback.

  dma_fence_signal() // locks f1.lock
  -> drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_cb()
  -> foreach dependencies
     -> dma_fence_add_callback() // locks f2.lock

This will deadlock if f1 and f2 share the same spinlock.

To fix both issues, the code iterating on dependencies and re-arming them
is moved out to drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_work().

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.
