I think the right way to fix this is to have the struct hmm hold a mmgrab() on the mm so its memory cannot go away until all of the hmm users release the struct hmm, hmm_ranges/etc Then we can properly use mmget_not_zero() instead of the racy/abnormal 'if (hmm->xmm == NULL || hmm->dead)' pattern (see the other thread). Actually looking at this, all these tests look very questionable. If we hold the mmget() for the duration of the range object, as Jerome suggested, then they all get deleted. That just leaves mmu_notifier_unregister_no_relase() as the remaining user of hmm->mm (everyone else is trying to do range->mm) - and it looks like it currently tries to call mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release on a NULL hmm->mm and crashes :( Holding the mmgrab fixes this as we can safely call mmu_notifier_unregister_no_relase() post exit_mmap on a grab'd mm. Also we can delete the hmm_mm_destroy() intrustion into fork.c as it can't be called when the mmgrab is active. This is the basic pattern we used in ODP when working with mmu notifiers, I don't know why hmm would need to be different. > index 2aa75dbed04a..4e42c282d334 100644 > +++ b/mm/hmm.c > @@ -43,8 +43,10 @@ static inline struct hmm *mm_get_hmm(struct mm_struct *mm) > { > struct hmm *hmm = READ_ONCE(mm->hmm); > > - if (hmm && kref_get_unless_zero(&hmm->kref)) > + if (hmm && !hmm->dead) { > + kref_get(&hmm->kref); > return hmm; > + } hmm->dead and mm->hmm are not being read under lock, so this went from something almost thread safe to something racy :( > @@ -53,25 +55,28 @@ static inline struct hmm *mm_get_hmm(struct mm_struct *mm) > * hmm_get_or_create - register HMM against an mm (HMM internal) > * > * @mm: mm struct to attach to > - * Returns: returns an HMM object, either by referencing the existing > - * (per-process) object, or by creating a new one. > + * Return: an HMM object reference, either by referencing the existing > + * (per-process) object, or by creating a new one. > * > - * This is not intended to be used directly by device drivers.

Trying to make struct hmm hold a *reference* to mm seems wrong to me. 2) mm->hmm is only set with mm->mmap_sem held for write. mm->hmm is only cleared when __mmdrop() is called. hmm->mm is only cleared when __mmdrop() is called so it is long after the call to hmm_release(). 3) The mmu notifier unregister happens only as part of exit_mmap(). The hmm->dead and hmm->mm == NULL checks are more for sanity checking since hmm_mirror_register() shouldn't be called without holding mmap_sem. A VM_WARN or other check makes sense like you said. Anyway, I'll wait for Jerome to weigh in as to how to proceed.

All the other notes basically still apply no matter which way the refcount goes. > 1) mm->hmm holds a reference to struct hmm so hmm isn't going away until > __mmdrop() is called. hmm->mm is not a reference to mm, > just a "backward" pointer. But this wasn't done completely. If the hmm is created once and lives until exit_mmap then there is no need for any of the refcounting, hmm->dead, etc. The refcounting is all moved to the mm via mmgrab/mmget and all the places that were doing refcount/dead, etc need to switch to those mm APIs instead. In many senses this would be simpler, as we don't have the weird mess of a hmm coming and going concurrently on the same mm, but I think the patch needs to do a complete change over (delete the kref, delete dead, delete the 'null mm/hmm' idea, and document what mmget/grab every caller must be holding) before we can see what it would look like. This design would also solve the srcu race I pointed out. > Trying to make struct hmm hold a *reference* to mm seems wrong to me. Well, this is a fairly standard direction, the caller of hmm_mirror_register()/hmm_mirror_unregister() should reasonably expect that hmm or the mm will not going away during the registered period. What this patch is trying to do is to say that the caller must hold a mmgrab for the duration of registration, for the sole benefit of HMM. This seems like it is breaking the encapsulation of the API. Arugably I would like to remove the mmgrab detail from the ODP code and just establish a hmm_mirror as enough to guarentee the mm, hmm, etc is valid memory until the ODP is cleaned up. > 2) mm->hmm is only set with mm->mmap_sem held for write. > mm->hmm is only cleared when __mmdrop() is called. > hmm->mm is only cleared when __mmdrop() is called so it is long after the > call to hmm_release(). Then we don't need any refcounting on struct hmm, all the refcounting falls to mmgrab/mmget instead.. > 3) The mmu notifier unregister happens only as part of exit_mmap(). > The hmm->dead and hmm->mm == NULL checks are more for sanity > checking It is all a use-after free - and it is just confusing what the lifetime is supposed to be, should all be deleted. In this approach all the tests for !mm->hmm should either lockdep assert that the mm_sem write side is held or use mmgrab_not_zero && VM_BUG_ON instead (having previously established somehow that the hmm was created already). The test !hmm->mm should never exist. If the hmm object is valid memory then the mm object *MUST* also be valid memory. > since hmm_mirror_register() shouldn't be called without holding mmap_sem. > A VM_WARN or other check makes sense like you said. Stuff like this really should be documented as a lockdep assertion.. Jason

I have never been able to see how these various checks can protect anything, and refcounting it into place definitely sounds like the right answer. thanks,
