[PATCH 0/6] vfio: Reset migration device state using dedicated callback
Posted by Michał Winiarski 1 week, 4 days ago
Hi,

In a recent discussion [1], an unsafe locking pattern was discovered.
Initially, it was believed that the locking issue is related to calling
copy_from_user()/copy_to_user() under state_mutex [2], but it turns out
that it's a generic issue that has impact on all drivers that are not
implementing a "deferred reset".

This is a first attempt to simplify the migration device state locking,
following a suggestion from Jason to try and solve the issue on core
side rather than duplicating deferred reset in all of the drivers.

Introduce a dedicated .migration_reset_state() callback called outside
vdev->memory_lock to break the locking dependency chain and convert all
of the drivers to use it.

Michał Winiarski (6):
  vfio: Introduce .migration_reset_state() callback
  hisi_acc_vfio_pci: Use .migration_reset_state() callback
  vfio/pds: Use .migration_reset_state() callback
  vfio/qat: Use .migration_reset_state() callback
  vfio/mlx5: Use .migration_reset_state() callback
  vfio/virtio: Use .migration_reset_state() callback
