Re: [PATCH v4 05/11] iommu/sva: Assign a PASID to mm on PASID allocation and free it on mm exit

Hi, Jean & Fenghua

The issue of "iommu/sva: Assign a PASID to mm on PASID allocation and free it on mm exit"
is mm_pasid_drop in __mmput only ioasid_free(mm->pasid), but keep all related resources,
like cd tables etc.

This introduces many strange issues.
For example, if application does not use close fd but exit directly, mm_pasid_drop is called first,
then fops_release->unbind is called, when mm->pasid=-1, arm_smmu_write_ctx_desc will get error.

And in nginx case, pasid is freed when fork daemon, but cd table is still there,
then next time, same pasid is allocated.

So either __mmput free pasid as well as all related resources like cd table,
or convert back to rely on the original unbind method to free pasid and resources together.

Since SVA is main feature on ARM, which has been developed for years,
It is already used in the product.
It will be horrible if SVA is broke on 5.18.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

I'm trying to piece together what happens from the kernel point of view.

* master process with mm A opens a queue fd through uacce, which calls
iommu_sva_bind_device(dev, A) -> PASID 1

* master forks and exits. Child (daemon) gets mm B, inherits the queue fd.
The device is still bound to mm A with PASID 1, since the queue fd is
still open.
We discussed this before, but I don't remember where we left off. The
child can't use the queue because its mappings are not copied on fork(),
and the queue is still bound to the parent mm A. The child either needs to
open a new queue or take ownership of the old one with a new uacce ioctl.
Yes, currently nginx aligned with the case.
Child process (worker process) reopen uacce,

Master process (do init) open uacce, iommu_sva_bind_device(dev, A) -> PASID
1
Master process fork Child (daemon) and exit.

Child (daemon) does not use PASID 1 any more, only fork and manage worker
process.
Worker process reopen uacce, iommu_sva_bind_device(dev, B) PASID 2

So it is expected.
Yes, that's fine

Is that the "IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC_BIND_FN()" you mention, something out of
tree? This operation should unbind from A before binding to B, no?
Otherwise we leak PASID 1.
In 5.16 PASID 1 from master is hold until nginx service stop.
nginx start
master:
iommu_sva_alloc_pasid mm->pasid=1 // master process

lynx https start:
iommu_sva_alloc_pasid mm->pasid=2 //worker process

nginx stop: from fops_release
iommu_sva_free_pasid mm->pasid=2 // worker process
iommu_sva_free_pasid mm->pasid=1 // master process
That's the expected behavior (master could close its fd before forking, in
order to free things up earlier, but it's not mandatory)
Currently we unbind in fops_release, so the ioasid allocated in master
can only be freed when nginx stop,
when all forked fd are closed.

Have one silly question.

kerne driver
fops_open
iommu_sva_bind_device

fops_release
iommu_sva_unbind_device

application
main()
fd = open
return;

Application exit but not close(fd), is it expected fops_release will be
called automatically by system?
Yes, the application doesn't have to call close() explicitly, the file
descriptor is closed automatically on exit. Note that the fd is copied on
fork(), so it is only released once parent and all child processes exit.
Yes, in case the application ended unexpected, like ctrl+c
On 5.17
fops_release is called automatically, as well as iommu_sva_unbind_device.
On 5.18-rc1.
fops_release is not called, have to manually call close(fd)
Right that's weird
Looks it is caused by the fix patch, via mmget, which may add refcount
of fd.

Some experiments
1. 5.17, everything works well.

2. 5.17 + patchset of "iommu/sva: Assign a PASID to mm on PASID
allocation and free it on mm exit"

Test application, exit without close uacce fd
First time: fops_release can be called automatically.

3. Add the fix patch of using mmget in bind.
Test application, exit without close uacce fd

fops_release can NOT be called automatically, looks mmget adds refcount
of fd.
Test application, exit without closing fd.

2. Add mmget in bind and mmput in unbind,
Since application do not close fd, so no unbind,& mmput
And fops_release is not called since mm_users account.

log:

So the fix method of using mmget blocks fops_release to be called once
fd is closed without unbind.

Since nginx may have a issue, it does not call close(fd) when nginx -s quit.
And you're sure that none of the processes are still alive or in zombie
state? Just to cover every possibility.
It can also reproduced by a simple application exit without close(uacce_fd)

Thanks
