Using this method we only take a reference and avoid releasing the fences we're going to signal. However the lock is on the timeline and dma_fence_signal already takes the lock, so if the signal ends up releasing any of the other fences in the timeline (e.g. the fences that are later than the new value), then we are still going to have the recursive locking issue. One solution to that would be splitting the lock into 2 locks: 1 protecting pt_list + pt_tree and 1 protecting value & serving as the lock for the fences. Then we can only take the list lock in the release function and dma_fence_signal takes the value lock. However, then you still have issues like if a callback for fence A (when called it holds the lock of A's timeline) adds a callback to fence B of the same timeline (requires the fence lock) we still have a recursion locking issue. I'm not sure it is reasonable for the last use case to work, because I only see it working with per-fence locks, but per-fence locks are deadlock prone due to the order of taking links not really being fixed. > dma_fence_put(&pt->base); > } > > Marginal extra cost for signaling along the debug sw_timeline for total > peace of mind. > -Chris

With the explicit reference you introduce for the signaler, is it not then safe to revert d3c6dd1fb30d i.e. conditionally take the spinlock inside release? We just have to remember to acquire the ref before removing the pt from the list. -Chris

Calltree: timeline_fence_release drm_sched_entity_wakeup dma_fence_signal_locked sync_timeline_signal sw_sync_ioctl Releasing the reference to the fence in the fence signal callback seems reasonable to me, so this patch avoids the locking issue in sw_sync. d3862e44daa7 ("dma-buf/sw-sync: Fix locking around sync_timeline lists") fixed the recursive locking issue but caused an use-after-free. Later d3c6dd1fb30d ("dma-buf/sw_sync: Synchronize signal vs syncpt free") fixed the use-after-free but reintroduced the recursive locking issue. In this attempt we avoid the use-after-free still because the release function still always locks, and outside of the locking region in the signal function we have properly refcounted references. We furthermore also avoid the recurive lock by making sure that either: 1) We have a properly refcounted reference, preventing the signal from triggering the release function inside the locked region. 2) The refcount was already zero, and hence nobody will be able to trigger the release function from the signal function.
