If the trylock on the hmm->mirrors_sem fails the function will return
without decrementing the notifiers that were previously incremented. Since
the caller will not call invalidate_range_end() on EAGAIN this will result
in notifiers becoming permanently incremented and deadlock.

If the sync_cpu_device_pagetables() required blocking the function will
not return EAGAIN even though the device continues to touch the
pages. This is a violation of the mmu notifier contract.

Switch, and rename, the ranges_lock to a spin lock so we can reliably
obtain it without blocking during error unwind.

The error unwind is necessary since the notifiers count must be held
incremented across the call to sync_cpu_device_pagetables() as we cannot
allow the range to become marked valid by a parallel
invalidate_start/end() pair while doing sync_cpu_device_pagetables().

I almost lost this patch - it is part of the series, hasn't been
posted before, and wasn't sent with the rest, sorry.

This just effectively sets all ranges to valid.
I'm not sure that is best.
Shouldn't hmm_range_register() start with range.valid = true and
then hmm_invalidate_range_start() set affected ranges to false?
Then this becomes just wake_up_all() if --notifiers == 0 and
hmm_range_wait_until_valid() should wait for notifiers == 0.
Otherwise, range.valid doesn't really mean it's valid.

This is a trade off, it would be much more expensive to have a precise
'valid = true' - instead this algorithm is precise about 'valid =
false' and lazy about 'valid = true' which is much less costly to
calculate.

It kind of does, expect when it doesn't, right? :)

Almost.. but it is more tricky than that.

This scheme is a collision-retry algorithm. The pagefault side runs to
completion if no parallel invalidate start/end happens.

If a parallel invalidation happens then the pagefault retries.

Seeing notifiers == 0 means there is absolutely no current parallel
invalidation.

Seeing range->valid == true (under the device lock)
means this range doesn't intersect with a parallel invalidate.

So.. hmm_range_wait_until_valid() checks the per-range valid because
it doesn't want to sleep if *this range* is not involved in a parallel
invalidation - but once it becomes involved, then yes, valid == true
implies notifiers == 0.

It is easier/safer to use unlocked variable reads if there is only one
variable, thus the weird construction.

It is unclear to me if this micro optimization is really
worthwhile. It is very expensive to manage all this tracking, and no
other mmu notifier implementation really does something like
this. Eliminating the per-range tracking and using the notifier count
as a global lock would be much simpler...

> Otherwise, range.valid doesn't really mean it's valid.

Right, it doesn't really mean 'valid'

It is tracking possible colliding invalidates such that valid == true
(under the device lock) means that there was no colliding invalidate.

I still think this implementation doesn't quite work, as I described
here:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190527195829.GB18019@mellanox.com/

But the idea is basically sound and matches what other mmu notifier
users do, just using a seqcount like scheme, not a boolean.
