Jens Axboe 5cf4f52e6d io_uring: free io_buffer_list entries via RCU
mmap_lock nests under uring_lock out of necessity, as we may be doing
user copies with uring_lock held. However, for mmap of provided buffer
rings, we attempt to grab uring_lock with mmap_lock already held from
do_mmap(). This makes lockdep, rightfully, complain:

WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
6.7.0-rc1-00009-gff3337ebaf94-dirty #4438 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
buf-ring.t/442 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff00020e1480a8 (&ctx->uring_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: io_uring_validate_mmap_request.isra.0+0x4c/0x140

but task is already holding lock:
ffff0000dc226190 (&mm->mmap_lock){++++}-{3:3}, at: vm_mmap_pgoff+0x124/0x264

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

From that mmap(2) path, we really just need to ensure that the buffer
list doesn't go away from underneath us. For the lower indexed entries,
they never go away until the ring is freed and we can always sanely
reference those as long as the caller has a file reference. For the
higher indexed ones in our xarray, we just need to ensure that the
buffer list remains valid while we return the address of it.

Free the higher indexed io_buffer_list entries via RCU. With that we can
avoid needing ->uring_lock inside mmap(2), and simply hold the RCU read
lock around the buffer list lookup and address check.

To ensure that the arrayed lookup either returns a valid fully formulated
entry via RCU lookup, add an 'is_ready' flag that we access with store
and release memory ordering. This isn't needed for the xarray lookups,
but doesn't hurt either. Since this isn't a fast path, retain it across
both types. Similarly, for the allocated array inside the ctx, ensure
we use the proper load/acquire as setup could in theory be running in
parallel with mmap.

While in there, add a few lockdep checks for documentation purposes.

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.
