      drm/nouveau: Keep malloc references to MST ports · 81640f01
      Lyude Paul authored 
      Now that we finally have a sane way to keep port allocations around, use
it to fix the potential unchecked ->port accesses that nouveau makes by
making sure we keep the mst port allocated for as long as it's
drm_connector is accessible.

Additionally, now that we've guaranteed that mstc->port is allocated for
as long as we keep mstc around we can remove the connector registration
checks for codepaths which release payloads, allowing us to release
payloads on active topologies properly. These registration checks were
only required before in order to avoid situations where mstc->port could
technically be pointing at freed memory.

      drm/nouveau: Remove unnecessary VCPI checks in nv50_msto_cleanup() · 5e292e76
      Lyude Paul authored 
      There is no need to look at the port's VCPI allocation before calling
drm_dp_mst_deallocate_vcpi(), as we already have msto->disabled to let
us avoid cleaning up an msto more then once. The DP MST core will never
call drm_dp_mst_deallocate_vcpi() on it's own, which is presumably what
these checks are meant to protect against.

More importantly though, we're about to stop clearing mstc->port in the
next commit, which means if we could potentially hit a use-after-free
error if we tried to check mstc->port->vcpi here. So to make life easier
for anyone who bisects this code in the future, use msto->disabled
instead to check whether or not we need to deallocate VCPI instead.

      Lyude Paul authored 
      Trying to destroy the connector using mstc->connector.funcs->destroy()
if connector initialization fails is wrong: there is no possible
codepath in nv50_mstc_new where nv50_mstm_add_connector() would return
<0 and mstc would be non-NULL.

      drm/amdgpu/display: Keep malloc ref to MST port · d2568976
      Lyude Paul authored 
      Just like i915 and nouveau, it's a good idea for us to hold a malloc
reference to the port here so that we never pass a freed pointer to any
of the DP MST helper functions.

Also, we stop unsetting aconnector->port in
dm_dp_destroy_mst_connector(). There's literally no point to that
assignment that I can see anyway.

      drm/dp_mst: Fix payload deallocation on hotplugs using malloc refs · cfe9f903
      Lyude Paul authored 
      Up until now, freeing payloads on remote MST hubs that just had ports
removed has almost never worked because we've been relying on port
validation in order to stop us from accessing ports that have already
been freed from memory, but ports which need their payloads released due
to being removed will never be a valid part of the topology after
they've been removed.

Since we've introduced malloc refs, we can replace all of the validation
logic in payload helpers which are used for deallocation with some
well-placed malloc krefs. This ensures that regardless of whether or not
the ports are still valid and in the topology, any port which has an
allocated payload will remain allocated in memory until it's payloads
have been removed - finally allowing us to actually release said
payloads correctly.

      drm/dp_mst: Restart last_connected_port_and_mstb() if topology ref fails · 56d1c14e
      Lyude Paul authored 
      While this isn't a complete fix, this will improve the reliability of
drm_dp_get_last_connected_port_and_mstb() pretty significantly during
hotplug events, since there's a chance that the in-memory topology tree
may not be fully updated when drm_dp_get_last_connected_port_and_mstb()
is called and thus might end up causing our search to fail on an mstb
whose topology refcount has reached 0, but has not yet been removed from
it's parent.

Ideally, we should further fix this problem by ensuring that we deal
with the potential for racing with a hotplug event, which would look
like this:

* drm_dp_payload_send_msg() retrieves the last living relative of mstb
  with drm_dp_get_last_connected_port_and_mstb()
* drm_dp_payload_send_msg() starts building payload message
  At the same time, mstb gets unplugged from the topology and is no
  longer the actual last living relative of the original mstb
* drm_dp_payload_send_msg() tries sending the payload message, hub times
  out
* Hub timed out, we give up and run away-resulting in the payload being
  leaked

This could be fixed by restarting the
drm_dp_get_last_connected_port_and_mstb() search whenever we get a
timeout, sending the payload to the new mstb, then repeating until
either the entire topology is removed from the system or
drm_dp_get_last_connected_port_and_mstb() fails. But since the above
race condition is not terribly likely, we'll address that in a later
patch series once we've improved the recovery handling for VCPI
allocations in the rest of the DP MST helpers.

* Convert kerneldoc for drm_dp_get_last_connected_port_and_mstb to

      drm/dp_mst: Introduce new refcounting scheme for mstbs and ports · ebcc0e6b
      Lyude Paul authored 
      The current way of handling refcounting in the DP MST helpers is really
confusing and probably just plain wrong because it's been hacked up many
times over the years without anyone actually going over the code and
seeing if things could be simplified.

To the best of my understanding, the current scheme works like this:
drm_dp_mst_port and drm_dp_mst_branch both have a single refcount. When
this refcount hits 0 for either of the two, they're removed from the
topology state, but not immediately freed. Both ports and branch devices
will reinitialize their kref once it's hit 0 before actually destroying
themselves. The intended purpose behind this is so that we can avoid
problems like not being able to free a remote payload that might still
be active, due to us having removed all of the port/branch device
structures in memory, as per:

commit 91a25e46 ("drm/dp/mst: deallocate payload on port destruction")

Which may have worked, but then it caused use-after-free errors. Being
new to MST at the time, I tried fixing it;

commit 263efde3 ("drm/dp/mst: Get validated port ref in drm_dp_update_payload_part1()")

But, that was broken: both drm_dp_mst_port and drm_dp_mst_branch structs
are validated in almost every DP MST helper function. Simply put, this
means we go through the topology and try to see if the given
drm_dp_mst_branch or drm_dp_mst_port is still attached to something
before trying to use it in order to avoid dereferencing freed memory
(something that has happened a LOT in the past with this library).
Because of this it doesn't actually matter whether or not we keep keep
the ports and branches around in memory as that's not enough, because
any function that validates the branches and ports passed to it will
still reject them anyway since they're no longer in the topology
structure. So, use-after-free errors were fixed but payload deallocation
was completely broken.

Two years later, AMD informed me about this issue and I attempted to
come up with a temporary fix, pending a long-overdue cleanup of this
library:

commit c54c7374 ("drm/dp_mst: Skip validating ports during destruction, just ref")

But then that introduced use-after-free errors, so I quickly reverted
it:

commit 9765635b ("Revert "drm/dp_mst: Skip validating ports during destruction, just ref"")

And in the process, learned that there is just no simple fix for this:
the design is just broken. Unfortunately, the usage of these helpers are
quite broken as well. Some drivers like i915 have been smart enough to
avoid accessing any kind of information from MST port structures, but
others like nouveau have assumed, understandably so, that
drm_dp_mst_port structures are normal and can just be accessed at any
time without worrying about use-after-free errors.

After a lot of discussion, me and Daniel Vetter came up with a better
idea to replace all of this.

To summarize, since this is documented far more indepth in the
documentation this patch introduces, we make it so that drm_dp_mst_port
and drm_dp_mst_branch structures have two different classes of
refcounts: topology_kref, and malloc_kref. topology_kref corresponds to
the lifetime of the given drm_dp_mst_port or drm_dp_mst_branch in it's
given topology. Once it hits zero, any associated connectors are removed
and the branch or port can no longer be validated. malloc_kref
corresponds to the lifetime of the memory allocation for the actual
structure, and will always be non-zero so long as the topology_kref is
non-zero. This gives us a way to allow callers to hold onto port and
branch device structures past their topology lifetime, and dramatically
simplifies the lifetimes of both structures. This also finally fixes the
port deallocation problem, properly.

Additionally: since this now means that we can keep ports and branch
devices allocated in memory for however long we need, we no longer need
a significant amount of the port validation that we currently do.

Additionally, there is one last scenario that this fixes, which couldn't
have been fixed properly beforehand:

- CPU1 unrefs port from topology (refcount 1->0)
- CPU2 refs port in topology(refcount 0->1)

Since we now can guarantee memory safety for ports and branches
as-needed, we also can make our main reference counting functions fix
this problem by using kref_get_unless_zero() internally so that topology
refcounts can only ever reach 0 once.
