From: Alison Schofield <alison.schofield@intel.com>

A read of a device poison list is triggered via a sysfs attribute
and the results are logged as kernel trace events of type cxl_poison.
The work is managed by either: a) the region driver when one of more
regions map the device, or by b) the memdev driver when no regions
map the device.

In the case of a) the region driver holds the region_rwsem while
reading the poison by committed endpoint decoder mappings and for
any unmapped resources. This makes sure that the cxl_poison trace
event trace reports valid region info. (Region name, HPA, and UUID).

In the case of b) the memdev driver holds the dpa_rwsem preventing
new DPA resources from being attached to a region. However, it leaves
a gap between region attach and decoder commit actions. If a DPA in
the gap is in the poison list, the cxl_poison trace event will omit
the region info.

Close the gap by holding the region_rwsem and the dpa_rwsem when
reading poison per memdev. Since both methods now hold both locks,
down_read both from the caller. Doing so also addresses the lockdep
assert that found this issue:

I am going to drop this Fixes: tag. Every kernel that has this commit
also has f0832a586396, and the there is nothing left to fix after
backporting this new commit.

I am going to leave this as is, but for future consideration I think it
is ok reason that cxl_region_rwsem has a higher chance for contention.
Compare how long cxl_region_rwsem is held vs cxl_dpa_rwsem. Once it is
acquired, just commit to being uninterruptible with plain down_read()
for cxl_dpa_rwsem.
