[ Upstream commit a6283010e2907a5576f96b839e1a1c82659f137c ] [Why]: When we call hmm_range_fault to map memory after a migration, we don't expect memory to be migrated again as a result of hmm_range_fault. The driver ensures that all memory is in GPU-accessible locations so that no migration should be needed. However, there is one corner case where hmm_range_fault can unexpectedly cause a migration from DEVICE_PRIVATE back to system memory due to a write-fault when a system memory page in the same range was mapped read-only (e.g. COW). Ranges with individual pages in different locations are usually the result of failed page migrations (e.g. page lock contention). The unexpected migration back to system memory causes a deadlock from recursive locking in our driver. [How]: Creating a task reference new member under svm_range_list struct. Setting this with "current" reference, right before the hmm_range_fault is called. This member is checked against "current" reference at svm_migrate_to_ram callback function. If equal, the migration will be ignored.

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.
