commit d489a5305b9d5480d6fb97d5636f5f4b1e0b3827 upstream.

Applies the same treatment as commit 7cf6dd467e87 ("drm/virtio:
Don't attach GEM to a non-created context in gem_object_open()")
to virtio_gpu_gem_object_close() to avoid trying to detach
a resource that was never attached due to a context
never being created when context_init is supported.

<title>drm/virtio: bound EDID block reads to the response buffer</title>

commit 4e1a53892ba7f8a3e1da6bfc53c83ae7c812dccd upstream.

virtio_get_edid_block() validates the read offset only against the
device-supplied resp-&gt;size field, never against the fixed-size resp-&gt;edid
array. The EDID block index is driven by the device-supplied extension
count, so a malicious virtio-gpu backend can advertise a large size
together with a high block count and read far past the array into adjacent
kernel memory, which is then surfaced in the parsed EDID (an out-of-bounds
read / info leak).

Also reject any read whose end exceeds the size of the edid array.
Conforming EDID responses stay within the array and are unaffected.

<title>drm/virtio: fix deadlock in display_info_cb by removing hotplug from dequeue worker</title>

[ Upstream commit d1b894c5bbb3fee0012bd14356286dc2384e8213 ]

A probe-time deadlock can occur between the dequeue worker and
drm_client_register(). During probe, drm_client_register() holds
clientlist_mutex and calls the fbdev hotplug callback, which triggers an
atomic commit that ends up sleeping in virtio_gpu_queue_ctrl_sgs()
waiting for virtqueue space. The dequeue worker that would free that
space calls virtio_gpu_cmd_get_display_info_cb(), which invokes
drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event() -&gt; drm_client_dev_hotplug(), attempting
to acquire the same clientlist_mutex. Since wake_up() is only called
after the resp_cb loop, the probe thread is never woken and both threads
deadlock.

Fix this by removing the hotplug notification from
virtio_gpu_cmd_get_display_info_cb(). The display data (outputs[i].info)
is still updated synchronously in the callback.

For the init path, drm_client_register() already fires an initial
hotplug when the client is registered, which picks up the connector
state updated by display_info_cb.

For the runtime config_changed path, add a wait_event_timeout() in
config_changed_work_func() so that display_info_cb updates the connector
data before the hotplug notification is sent. Also replace
drm_helper_hpd_irq_event() with drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event() since
virtio-gpu never calls drm_kms_helper_poll_init() and thus
drm_helper_hpd_irq_event() always returns false without doing anything.

<title>drm/virtio: fix dma_fence refcount leak on error in virtio_gpu_dma_fence_wait()</title>

dma_fence_unwrap_for_each() internally calls dma_fence_unwrap_first()
which does cursor-&gt;chain = dma_fence_get(head), taking an extra
reference. On normal loop completion, dma_fence_unwrap_next()
releases this via dma_fence_chain_walk() -&gt; dma_fence_put().

When virtio_gpu_do_fence_wait() fails and the function returns early
from inside the loop, the cursor-&gt;chain reference is never released.
This is the only caller in the entire kernel that does an early return
inside dma_fence_unwrap_for_each.

Add dma_fence_put(itr.chain) before the early return.

<title>drm/virtio: use uninterruptible resv lock for plane updates</title>

virtio_gpu_cursor_plane_update() and virtio_gpu_resource_flush() lock
the framebuffer BO's dma_resv via virtio_gpu_array_lock_resv() and
ignore its return value. The function can fail with -EINTR from
dma_resv_lock_interruptible() (signal during lock wait) or with
-ENOMEM from dma_resv_reserve_fences() (fence slot allocation),
leaving the resv lock not held. The queue path then walks the object
array and calls dma_resv_add_fence(), which requires the lock held;
with lockdep enabled this trips dma_resv_assert_held():

  WARNING: drivers/dma-buf/dma-resv.c:296 at dma_resv_add_fence+0x71e/0x840
  Call Trace:
   virtio_gpu_array_add_fence

   __x64_sys_ioctl

Beyond the WARN, mutating the dma_resv fence list without the lock
races with concurrent readers/writers and can corrupt the list.

Both call sites run inside the .atomic_update plane callback, which
DRM atomic helpers do not allow to fail (by the time it runs, the
commit has been signed off to userspace and there is no clean
rollback path). Moving the lock acquisition to .prepare_fb was
rejected because the broader lock scope deadlocks against other BO
locking paths in the same atomic commit.

Introduce virtio_gpu_lock_one_resv_uninterruptible() that uses
dma_resv_lock() instead of dma_resv_lock_interruptible(). This
eliminates the -EINTR failure mode -- the realistic syzbot trigger
-- without extending the lock hold across the commit. The helper
locks a single BO and rejects nents &gt; 1 with -EINVAL; both fix
sites lock exactly one BO.

Use it from virtio_gpu_cursor_plane_update() and
virtio_gpu_resource_flush(); check the return value to handle the
remaining -ENOMEM case from dma_resv_reserve_fences() by freeing
the objs and skipping the plane update for that frame. The
framebuffer BOs touched here are not shared with other contexts
and lock contention is expected to be brief, so the loss of
signal-interruptibility is acceptable.

Other callers of virtio_gpu_array_lock_resv() (the ioctl paths)
continue to use the interruptible variant.

The bug was reported by syzbot, triggered via fault injection
(fail_nth) on the DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CURSOR path, which forces the
-ENOMEM branch in dma_resv_reserve_fences().

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.
