    Subject[PATCH 03/11] intel-iommu: Fix AB-BA lockdep report
    From: Roland Dreier <roland@purestorage.com>

    When unbinding a device so that I could pass it through to a KVM VM, I
    got the lockdep report below. It looks like a legitimate lock
    ordering problem:

    - domain_context_mapping_one() takes iommu->lock and calls
    iommu_support_dev_iotlb(), which takes device_domain_lock (inside
    iommu->lock).

    - domain_remove_one_dev_info() starts by taking device_domain_lock
    then takes iommu->lock inside it (near the end of the function).

    So this is the classic AB-BA deadlock. It looks like a safe fix is to
    simply release device_domain_lock a bit earlier, since as far as I can
    tell, it doesn't protect any of the stuff accessed at the end of
    domain_remove_one_dev_info() anyway.

    BTW, the use of device_domain_lock looks a bit unsafe to me... it's
    at least not obvious to me why we aren't vulnerable to the race below:

    iommu_support_dev_iotlb()
    domain_remove_dev_info()

    lock device_domain_lock
    find info
    unlock device_domain_lock

    lock device_domain_lock
    find same info
    unlock device_domain_lock

    free_devinfo_mem(info)

    do stuff with info after it's free

    However I don't understand the locking here well enough to know if
    this is a real problem, let alone what the best fix is.

    Anyway here's the full lockdep output that prompted all of this:

    =======================================================

    bash/13954 is trying to acquire lock:
    (&(&iommu->lock)->rlock){......}, at: [<ffffffff812f6421>] domain_remove_one_dev_info+0x121/0x230

    but task is already holding lock:
    (device_domain_lock){-.-...}, at: [<ffffffff812f6508>] domain_remove_one_dev_info+0x208/0x230

    which lock already depends on the new lock.

    the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
