Currently mm_iommu_do_alloc() is called in 2 cases:
- VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_REGISTER_MEMORY ioctl() for normal memory:
this locks &mem_list_mutex and then locks mm::mmap_sem
several times when adjusting locked_vm or pinning pages;
- vfio_pci_nvgpu_regops::mmap() for GPU memory:
this is called with mm::mmap_sem held already and it locks
&mem_list_mutex.
So one can craft a userspace program to do special ioctl and mmap in
2 threads concurrently and cause a deadlock which lockdep warns about
(below).
We did not hit this yet because QEMU constructs the machine in a single
thread.
This moves the overlap check next to where the new entry is added and
reduces the amount of time spent with &mem_list_mutex held.
This moves locked_vm adjustment from under &mem_list_mutex.
This relies on mm_iommu_adjust_locked_vm() doing nothing when entries==0.
This is one of the lockdep warnings:
