Hi all,

I hope this is good to go now, just fixed the locking (and threw
lockdep at it to confirm, which of course I should have done to begin
with...) and picked up tags.

Hi,

After pulling the v6.7 changes we started seeing the following memory
leaks [1] of 'struct iova_magazine'. I'm not sure how to reproduce it,
which is why I didn't perform bisection. However, looking at the
mentioned code paths, they seem to have been changed in v6.7 as part of
this patchset. I reverted both patches and didn't see any memory leaks
when running a full regression (~10 hours), but I will repeat it to be
sure.

Any idea what could be the problem?

Hmm, we've got what looks to be a set of magazines forming a plausible depot list (or at least the tail end of one):

ffff8881411f9000 -> ffff8881261c1000

ffff8881261c1000 -> ffff88812be26400

ffff88812be26400 -> ffff8188392ec000

ffff8188392ec000 -> ffff8881a5301000

ffff8881a5301000 -> NULL

which I guess has somehow become detached from its rcache->depot without being freed properly? However I'm struggling to see any conceivable way that could happen which wouldn't already be more severely broken in other ways as well (i.e. either general memory corruption or someone somehow still trying to use the IOVA domain while it's being torn down).

Out of curiosity, does reverting just patch #2 alone make a difference? And is your workload doing anything "interesting" in relation to IOVA domain lifetimes, like creating and destroying SR-IOV virtual functions, changing IOMMU domain types via sysfs, or using that horrible vdpa thing, or are you seeing this purely from regular driver DMA API usage?

Thanks,
Robin.


Thanks
