IB/mlx5: Fix potential deadlock in MR deregistration
The issue arises when kzalloc() is invoked while holding umem_mutex or
any other lock acquired under umem_mutex. This is problematic because
kzalloc() can trigger fs_reclaim_aqcuire(), which may, in turn, invoke
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(). This function can lead to
mlx5_ib_invalidate_range(), which attempts to acquire umem_mutex again,
resulting in a deadlock.
The problematic flow:
CPU0 | CPU1
---------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------
mlx5_ib_dereg_mr() |
→ revoke_mr() |
→ mutex_lock(&umem_odp->umem_mutex) |
| mlx5_mkey_cache_init()
| → mutex_lock(&dev->cache.rb_lock)
| → mlx5r_cache_create_ent_locked()
| → kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL)
| → fs_reclaim()
| → mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()
| → mlx5_ib_invalidate_range()
| → mutex_lock(&umem_odp->umem_mutex)
→ cache_ent_find_and_store() |
→ mutex_lock(&dev->cache.rb_lock) |
Additionally, when kzalloc() is called from within
cache_ent_find_and_store(), we encounter the same deadlock due to
re-acquisition of umem_mutex.
Solve by releasing umem_mutex in dereg_mr() after umr_revoke_mr()
and before acquiring rb_lock. This ensures that we don't hold
umem_mutex while performing memory allocations that could trigger
the reclaim path.
This change prevents the deadlock by ensuring proper lock ordering and
avoiding holding locks during memory allocation operations that could
trigger the reclaim path.
The following lockdep warning demonstrates the deadlock:
python3/20557 is trying to acquire lock:
