Jason Gunthorpe f28b1932ea RDMA/mlx5: Fix a race with mlx5_ib_update_xlt on an implicit MR
mlx5_ib_update_xlt() must be protected against parallel free of the MR it
is accessing, also it must be called single threaded while updating the
HW. Otherwise we can have races of the form:

    CPU0                               CPU1
  mlx5_ib_update_xlt()
   mlx5_odp_populate_klm()
     odp_lookup() == NULL
     pklm = ZAP
                                      implicit_mr_get_data()
 				        implicit_mr_alloc()
 					  <update interval tree>
					mlx5_ib_update_xlt
					  mlx5_odp_populate_klm()
					    odp_lookup() != NULL
					    pklm = VALID
					   mlx5_ib_post_send_wait()

    mlx5_ib_post_send_wait() // Replaces VALID with ZAP

This can be solved by putting both the SRCU and the umem_mutex lock around
every call to mlx5_ib_update_xlt(). This ensures that the content of the
interval tree relavent to mlx5_odp_populate_klm() (ie mr->parent == mr)
will not change while it is running, and thus the posted WRs to update the
KLM will always reflect the correct information.

The race above will resolve by either having CPU1 wait till CPU0 completes
the ZAP or CPU0 will run after the add and instead store VALID.

The pagefault path adding children already holds the umem_mutex and SRCU,
so the only missed lock is during MR destruction.

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.
