This patch fixes a race condition that causes a use-after-free during amdgpu_dm_atomic_commit_tail. This can occur when 2 non-blocking commits are requested and the second one finishes before the first. Essentially, this bug occurs when the following sequence of events happens:
- Non-blocking commit #1 is requested w/ a new dm_state #1 and is
deferred to the workqueue.
- Non-blocking commit #2 is requested w/ a new dm_state #2 and is
deferred to the workqueue.
- Commit #2 starts before commit #1, dm_state #1 is used in the
commit_tail and commit #2 completes, freeing dm_state #1.
- Commit #1 starts after commit #2 completes, uses the freed dm_state
1 and dereferences a freelist pointer while setting the context.
Well I only have a one mile high view on this, but why don't you let the work items execute in order?
That would be better anyway cause this way we don't trigger a cache line ping pong between CPUs.
Christian.
We use the DRM helpers for managing drm_atomic_commit_state and those helpers internally push non-blocking commit work into the system unbound work queue.
While we could duplicate a copy of that code with nothing but the workqueue changed that isn't something I'd really like to maintain going forward.

Since this bug has only been spotted with fast commits, this patch fixes the bug by clearing the dm_state instead of using the old dc_state for fast updates. In addition, since dm_state is only used for its dc_state and amdgpu_dm_atomic_commit_tail will retain the dc_state if none is found, removing the dm_state should not have any consequences in fast updates.
This use-after-free bug has existed for a while now, but only caused a noticeable issue starting from 5.7-rc1 due to 3202fa62f ("slub: relocate freelist pointer to middle of object") moving the freelist pointer from dm_state->base (which was unused) to dm_state->context (which is dereferenced).
