Subject[PATCH 4.15 28/52] RDMAVT: Fix synchronization around percpu_ref
Date
4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

commit 74b44bbe80b4c62113ac1501482ea1ee40eb9d67 upstream.

rvt_mregion uses percpu_ref for reference counting and RCU to protect
accesses from lkey_table. When a rvt_mregion needs to be freed, it
first gets unregistered from lkey_table and then rvt_check_refs() is
called to wait for in-flight usages before the rvt_mregion is freed.

rvt_check_refs() seems to have a couple issues.

* It has a fast exit path which tests percpu_ref_is_zero(). However,
a percpu_ref reading zero doesn't mean that the object can be
released. In fact, the ->release() callback might not even have
started executing yet. Proceeding with freeing can lead to
use-after-free.

* lkey_table is RCU protected but there is no RCU grace period in the
free path. percpu_ref uses RCU internally but it's sched-RCU whose
grace periods are different from regular RCU. Also, it generally
isn't a good idea to depend on internal behaviors like this.

To address the above issues, this patch removes the fast exit and adds
an explicit synchronize_rcu().
