Daniel pointed me towards this function and there are multiple obvious problems in the implementation. First of all the retry loop is not working as intended. In general the retry makes only sense if you grab the reference first and then check the sequence values. Then we should always also wait for the exclusive fence. It's also good practice to keep the reference around when installing callbacks to fences you don't own. And last the whole implementation was unnecessary complex and rather hard to understand which could lead to probably unexpected behavior of the IOCTL. Fix all this by reworking the implementation from scratch. Dropping the whole RCU approach and taking the lock instead. Only mildly tested and needs a thoughtful review of the code. Pushing through drm-misc-next to avoid merge conflicts and give the code another round of testing. v2: fix the reference counting as well v3: keep the excl fence handling as is for stable v4: back to testing all fences, drop RCU v5: handle in and out separately v6: add missing clear of events v7: change coding style as suggested by Michel, drop unused variables Signed-off-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Tested-by: Michel Dänzer <mdaenzer@redhat.com> CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210720131110.88512-1-christian.koenig@amd.com |

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.
