Haren Myneni b59c9dc4d9 powerpc/pseries/vas: Hold mmap_mutex after mmap lock during window close
Commit 8ef7b9e176 ("powerpc/pseries/vas: Close windows with DLPAR
core removal") unmaps the window paste address and issues HCALL to
close window in the hypervisor for migration or DLPAR core removal
events. So holds mmap_mutex and then mmap lock before unmap the
paste address. But if the user space issue mmap paste address at
the same time with the migration event, coproc_mmap() is called
after holding the mmap lock which can trigger deadlock when trying
to acquire mmap_mutex in coproc_mmap().

t1: mmap() call to mmap              t2: Migration event
    window paste address

do_mmap2()                           migration_store()
 ksys_mmap_pgoff()                    pseries_migrate_partition()
  vm_mmap_pgoff()                      vas_migration_handler()
    Acquire mmap lock                   reconfig_close_windows()
    do_mmap()                             lock mmap_mutex
     mmap_region()                        Acquire mmap lock
      call_mmap()                         //Wait for mmap lock
       coproc_mmap()                        unmap vma
         lock mmap_mutex                    update window status
         //wait for mmap_mutex            Release mmap lock
          mmap vma                        unlock mmap_mutex
          update window status
         unlock mmap_mutex
    ...
    Release mmap lock

Fix this deadlock issue by holding mmap lock first before mmap_mutex
in reconfig_close_windows().

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.
