[RFT,03/15] drm/ingenic: Call drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() at shutdown time

Commit Message

Doug Anderson Sept. 1, 2023, 11:41 p.m. UTC
Based on grepping through the source code this driver appears to be
missing a call to drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() at system shutdown
time. Among other things, this means that if a panel is in use that it
won't be cleanly powered off at system shutdown time.

The fact that we should call drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() in the case
of OS shutdown/restart comes straight out of the kernel doc "driver
instance overview" in drm_drv.c.

Since this driver uses the component model and shutdown happens at the
base driver, we communicate whether we have to call
drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() by seeing if drvdata is non-NULL.

This commit is only compile-time tested.

NOTE: this patch touches a lot more than other similar patches since
the bind() function is long and we want to make sure that we unset the
drvdata if bind() fails.

While making this patch, I noticed that the bind() function of this
driver is using "devm" and thus assumes it doesn't need to do much
explicit error handling. That's actually a bug. As per kernel docs [1]
"the lifetime of the aggregate driver does not align with any of the
underlying struct device instances. Therefore devm cannot be used and
all resources acquired or allocated in this callback must be
explicitly released in the unbind callback". Fixing that is outside
the scope of this commit.

Thanks for the Ack! Would you expect this patch to land through
"drm-misc", or do you expect it to go through some other tree?
Running:

./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --scm -f drivers/gpu/drm/ingenic/ingenic-drm-drv.c

...does not show that this driver normally goes through drm-misc, but
it also doesn't show that it goes through any other tree so maybe it's
just an artifact of the way it's tagged in the MAINTAINERS file? If
it's fine for this to go through drm-misc, I'll probably land it (with
your Ack and Maxime's Review) sooner rather than later just to make
this patch series less unwieldy.

FWIW, I think that at least a few other DRM drivers handle this by
doing some of their resource allocation / acquiring in the probe()
function and then only doing things in the bind() that absolutely need
to be in the bind. ;-)

That doesn't change much. The fundamental issue is that the DRM device
sticks around until the last application that has an open fd to it
closes it.

So it doesn't have any relationship with the unbind/remove timing, and
for all we know it can be there indefinitely, while the application
continues to interact with the driver.

I spent some time thinking about similar issues recently and, assuming
my understanding is correct, I'd at least partially disagree.

Specifically, I _think_ the only thing that's truly required to remain
valid until userspace closes the last open "fd" is the memory for the
"struct drm_device" itself, right? My understanding is that this is
similar to how "struct device" works. The memory backing a "struct
device" has to live until the last client releases a reference to it
even if everything else about a device has gone away. So if it was all
working perfectly then if the Linux driver backing the "struct
drm_device" goes away then we'd release resources and NULL out a bunch
of stuff in the "struct drm_device" but still keep the actual "struct
drm_device" around since userspace still has a reference. Pretty much
all userspace calls would fail, but at least they wouldn't crash. Is
that roughly the gist?

Assuming that's correct, then _most_ of the resource acquiring /
memory allocation can still happen in the device probe() routine and
can still use devm as long as we do something to ensure that any
resources released are no longer pointed to by anything in the "struct
drm_device".

To make it concrete, I think we want this (feel free to correct). For
simplicity, I'm assuming a driver that _doesn't_ use the component
framework:

a) Linux driver probe() happens. The "struct drm_device" is allocated
in probe() by devm_drm_dev_alloc(). This takes a reference to the
"struct drm_device". The device also acquires resources / allocates
memory.

b) Userspace acquires a reference to the "struct drm_device". Refcount
is now 2 (one from userspace, one from the Linux driver).

c) The Linux driver unbinds, presumably because userspace requested
it. From earlier I think we decided that we can't (by design) block
unbind. Once unbind happens then we shouldn't try to keep operating
the device and the driver should stop running. As part of the unbind,
the remove() is called and also "devm" resources are deallocated. If
any of the things freed are pointed to by the "struct drm_device" then
the code needs to NULL them out at this time. Also we should make sure
that any callback functions that userspace could cause to be invoked
return errors. Our code could go away at any point here since
userspace could "rmmod" our module.

d) Eventually userspace releases the reference and the "struct
drm_device" memory gets automatically freed because it was allocated
by devm_drm_dev_alloc()


NOTE: potentially some things could be allocated / managed by
drmm_xyz() function, like drmm_kmalloc() and that could simplify some
things. However, it's not a panacea for everything. Specifically once
the Linux driver unbind finishes then the device isn't functional
anymore.

I've been collecting patches that are ready to land in drm-misc but,
right now, I'm not taking this patch since I didn't get any
clarification of whether it should land through drm-misc or somewhere
else.

Yes, but also, no.

In the spirit, you're right. However, there's three things interfering
here:

  - You don't always have a match between device and KMS entity. Display
    pipelines are usually multiple devices working together, and while
    you probably have a 1:1 relationship with bridges and panels (and to
    some extent encoders/connectors), the planes and framebuffers for
    example are a mess :) So, if the device backing the planes is to be
    removed, what are you removing exactly? All of the planes and
    framebuffers? Do you free the buffers allocated by the userspace
    (that it might still use?)?

  - In addition to that, KMS doesn't deal with individual entities being
    hotplugged so neither the subsystem nor the application expect to
    have a connector being removed.

  - ioctl's aren't filtered once the device is starting to get removed
    on most drivers.

So due to 1 and 2, we can't really partially remove components unless
the application is aware of it, and it doesn't expect to. And most
drivers still allow (probably unwillingly though) the application to
call ioctls once the DRM device has lost at least one of its backing
devices.

You need to differentiate resources and allocations there. Resources can
be expected to go away at the same time than the device, so using devm
is fine. Allocations are largely disconnected from the device lifetime,
and using devm leads to UAF.

That part is correct, because the resources aren't there anymore.

But for the reasons above, the driver needs to still operate (in a
degraded mode).

Right, we also need to make sure we don't access any of the resources
that got freed. This is typically done by protecting all the accesses
with drm_dev_enter/drm_dev_exit.

That would prevent any new ioctl from occuring after the device has been
removed, but that doesn't fix the race condition if it's removed while
there's a commit happening. This is further complicated by the fact that
commits can be queued (so you would have multiple submitted already) or
made asynchronous.

Yeah, we probably have a bug there. Boris also reported something like
that recently where if you add an action with drmm_add_action, and then
remove the module, the function would have been free'd by the time it
executes.

> d) Eventually userspace releases the reference and the "struct

It was allocated by devm_drm_dev_alloc() but wasn't by devm_kzalloc().
devm_drm_dev_alloc() will "only" register an action to put back its
reference, but any application that opens the DRM device file will take
a reference as well (through drm_minor_acquire()).

So it's not freed at device_release_all() time, but when the last
reference is given back which could happen much later.

The general rule is that any allocation needed for the framework
interactions need to be allocated by drmm, any allocation/resource
needed to operate the device need to be allocated by devm.

What's wrong with it then?

We "can't", but we "can", right? Userspace can freely unbind a driver.
Unless you want to dig into if the community would allow a driver to
block "unbind" then we have to, at the very least, not crash the
kernel when userspace does this. Ideally we'd have something more
elegant than just "don't crash the kernel", but at least we shouldn't
crash.

Right. I think my original point was looking at "ingenic-drm-drv.c".
Much of the "devm" stuff there is resources and those specific things
could be moved to probe() instead of bind(), right?

For allocations, I think you'd have to look at each allocation. If the
allocation needed to live as long as the "struct drm_device" then devm
is clearly the wrong choice. ...but not every allocation needs to live
that long. Also, even if in the "simple" case allocations need to live
as long as a "struct drm_device", it's possible that there are some
cases where there's only an indirect reference to the memory. In that
case, you could NULL out the indirect reference and then free it.
Obviously someone would need to take care here.

So I think here is where the disconnect is from our viewpoints. IMO
when a Linux driver is unbound then it makes no sense to try to
operate the device in "a degraded mode". When a Linux driver is
unbound then it should be releasing all of the resources from the
device (iomaps, IRQs, regulators, GPIOs, etc). That's just what
unbinding a driver is supposed to do.

I understand what you're saying above about display pipelines being
multiple Linux drivers working together and that it doesn't make lots
of sense to just unbind a random Linux device driver in the middle of
things. ...and I don't really have a simple/great answer for how to do
something super elegant if userspace tries to just randomly unbind one
of the many drivers in an active display pipeline.

I guess I would have expected that the remove() callback in the device
would prevent new commits from starting and then block waiting until
any in-progress commits were finished? ...kinda like how drivers call
del_timer_sync() in their remove functions...

I'm fairly certain that you can prevent a module from being unloaded
by just grabbing a refcount to it. However, I'm not sure that's the
right solution. If we're trying to run driver code after a driver has
been unbound then, IMO, that's the bug.

I'm mostly just saying don't just search-and-replace "devm" with
"drmm" in your driver and call it done. You need to think carefully
about which things are which lifetime.

---

Ironically, while digging into this I'm tempted to take back my
original request. Despite the kernel docs I pointed at [1], it
actually looks like it might be fine to use "devm" within a
component's bind() function. In try_to_bring_up_aggregate_device() it
seems like the code is opening up a nested "devres" group specifically
to allow this to work. A little bit of testing that I did with this
shows that, indeed, the nesting seems to be working. Am I missing
something here?

It depends. The registers, clock, regmap allocations are fine. The panel
isn't for example.

Most of the allocations are in a KMS driver though? At least all the
structures that store either planes, crtcs, encoders, connectors, panels
or bridges (plus their state) need to be allocated through drmm.

I guess we could, but it would be fairly hard to do since if we clear a
connector, we would need to clear that particular allocation, but also
from all the states that reference it, and the entities that store a
pointer to it somehow (some of them possibly in drivers). It's not super
valuable anyway since the current expectation is that it's all or
nothing, if you remove one connector you are expected to remove the
whole KMS driver.

I guess we agree on that part.

That's not what I'm saying though. What I'm saying is that if we remove
one, everything must go. And that's what ingenic is doing btw. But all
the allocations still need to stay until the last fd is closed.

That's not a concern. I know vc4 handles that just fine, probably others
too.

init, exit and probe run while the device in unbound.

Sure, where did I say anything different? For vc4, it took me a ~60
patches to do the conversion, so yeah, it's not just a sed call.

I don't think we're on the same page, because I also don't know why
that's relevant in that particular context?

Sure, you can use devm in a component framework driver. The limitations
I'm talking about have nothing to do with the component framework but
rather between devm and KMS. So all the issues I brought up are still
very much relevant for a single device doing devm_ allocations at probe.
