Increasing ref counts of both dma-buf and gem for imported dma-buf
come from gem makes memory leak. release function of dma-buf cannot
be called because f_count of dma-buf increased by importing gem and
gem ref count cannot be decrease because of exported dma-buf.

So I add dma_buf_put() for imported gem come from its own gem into
each drivers having prime_import and prime_export capabilities. With
this, only gem ref count is increased if importing gem exported from
gem of same driver.

Mmap failiure in i915 was reported by Jani, and I think it was fixed
with Dave's commit "drm/prime: add exported buffers to current fprivs
imported buffer list (v2)", so I resend this patch.

I can send exynos only, but this issue is common in all drm driver
having both prime inport and export, IMHO, it's better to send for
all drivers.

Hi All,

This patch has been tested with only Exynos driver so other maintainers may
need to test this.

I fear that  this won't solve the issue completely and keeps open a small race.

I don't like the current destruction path either. It really looks like export_dma_buf
should be unset when the exported buffer is closed in the original file. Anything else is racy.
Especially setting export_dma_buf to NULL won't work with the current delayed fput semantics.

So to me it seems instead we should do something like this:

- dmabuf_release callback is a noop, no ref is held by the dma-buf.
- attach and detach ops increase reference by 1*.

- when the buffer is exported, export_dma_buf is set by core code and kept around
  alive until the gem object is closed.

- dma_buf_put is not called by import function. This reference removed as part
  of gem object close instead.

~Maarten

*) Lockdep will rightfully hate this as it reopens a locking inversion, some solution for that is needed.

Maybe a post detach callback for dma-buf with all locks dropped would be best here?
Other way would be to schedule delayed work with the sole purpose of unreffing in the detach op,
similar to how atomic_dec_and_mutex_lock works.

I don't believe my patch can fix all issue related with gem prime
completely. But it seems that it can solve unrecoverable memory leak
caused by re-importing GEM. Anyway, can you give me an example of other
race issue?

I cannot figure out all aspect of delayed fput, but until delayed work
is called, dma_buf is not released so export_dma_buf is valid.
Considering this, I can't find possible issue of delayed fput.

Considering re-import, where drm file priv is different from exporter's
file priv, attach and detach are not called because gem object is reused.

How do you think remove checking whether dma_buf is came from driver own
exporter? Because without this checking, gem object is newly created,
and then re-import issue will disappear.

When the dma_buf is unreffed and refcount drops to 0, work is queued to free it.

Until then export_dma_buf member points to something, but refcount is 0 on it.

Importing to itself, then closing fd then re-export from the new place would probably trigger it.

I'm fairly sure that when refcount drops to 0, even though the memory may not be freed yet,
you no longer have a guarantee that the memory is still valid.

And of course after importing into a different process with its own drm namespace, how does
file_priv->prime.lock still protect serialization?

I don't see any hierarchy either. export_dma_buf needs to be set to NULL before the dma_buf_put
is called that is used for the reference inside export_dma_buf.

The release function should only release a reference to whatever backing memory is used.

The whole refcounting is a circular mess, sadly with no easy solution. :/

It seems to me that using gem reference counts is solving this problem at the wrong layer.
A secondary type of reference count is needed for the underlying memory backing.

For those who use ttm, I would recommend that the dma_buf increases refcount on ttm_bo by one,
so that the gem object can be destroyed and release its reference on the dma_buf.

WIthout a secondary refcount you end up in a position where you can't reliably and race free unref
the gem object and dma_buf at the same time, since they're both independent interfaces with possibly
different lifetimes.

It would really help if there were hard rules on lifetime of the export_dma_buf member,
until then we're just patching one broken thing with another.

Ok, I understood about issue from delayed fput also in your below
comment. Anyway, IMO, it is already on current drm prime.

I missed that delayed fput is triggered after recount drops to 0, and
now I understood it can cause invalid access.

> different lifetimes.

If there is no checking whether dma_buf is came from driver own
exporter, gem_object is newly allocated and refcount of it can be a
secondary refcount at least form mermoy leak issue. So I mentioned about
removing check for exporter.
But I prefer processing re-import as gem_open without considering
dma-buf as current implementation.

Issue about memory leak of re-import was also reported on i915 and there
was Rob's patch set, but other locking issue blocked the patch.
I'm not sure all issue can be solved at once and someone is handling
this at the moment.
