Daniel Vetter 380c7ceabd drm/atomic: Fix potential use-after-free in nonblocking commits
commit 4e076c73e4f6e90816b30fcd4a0d7ab365087255 upstream.

This requires a bit of background.  Properly done a modeset driver's
unload/remove sequence should be

	drm_dev_unplug();
	drm_atomic_helper_shutdown();
	drm_dev_put();

The trouble is that the drm_dev_unplugged() checks are by design racy,
they do not synchronize against all outstanding ioctl.  This is because
those ioctl could block forever (both for modeset and for driver
specific ioctls), leading to deadlocks in hotunplug.  Instead the code
sections that touch the hardware need to be annotated with
drm_dev_enter/exit, to avoid accessing hardware resources after the
unload/remove has finished.

To avoid use-after-free issues all the involved userspace visible
objects are supposed to hold a reference on the underlying drm_device,
like drm_file does.

The issue now is that we missed one, the atomic modeset ioctl can be run
in a nonblocking fashion, and in that case it cannot rely on the implied
drm_device reference provided by the ioctl calling context.  This can
result in a use-after-free if an nonblocking atomic commit is carefully
raced against a driver unload.

Fix this by unconditionally grabbing a drm_device reference for any
drm_atomic_state structures.  Strictly speaking this isn't required for
blocking commits and TEST_ONLY calls, but it's the simpler approach.

Thanks to shanzhulig for the initial idea of grabbing an unconditional
reference, I just added comments, a condensed commit message and fixed a
minor potential issue in where exactly we drop the final reference.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
