[PATCH v5 1/5] iommu: Lock group->mutex in iommu_deferred_attach()
Posted by Nicolin Chen 2 months, 4 weeks ago
The iommu_deferred_attach() function invokes __iommu_attach_device(), but
doesn't hold the group->mutex like other __iommu_attach_device() callers.

Though there is no pratical bug being triggered so far, it would be better
to apply the same locking to this __iommu_attach_device(), since the IOMMU
drivers nowaday are more aware of the group->mutex -- some of them use the
iommu_group_mutex_assert() function that could be potentially in the path
of an attach_dev callback function invoked by the __iommu_attach_device().

Worth mentioning that the iommu_deferred_attach() will soon need to check
group->resetting_domain that must be locked also.

Thus, grab the mutex to guard __iommu_attach_device() like other callers.
