[Spice-devel] [PATCH] drm/gem: Expose the buffer object handle to userspace last

[Tvrtko Ursulin]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>

Currently drm_gem_handle_create_tail exposes the handle to userspace
before the buffer object constructions is complete. This allowing
of working against a partially constructed object, which may also be in
the process of having its creation fail, can have a range of negative
outcomes.

A lot of those will depend on what the individual drivers are doing in
their obj->funcs->open() callbacks, and also with a common failure mode
being -ENOMEM from drm_vma_node_allow.

We can make sure none of this can happen by allocating a handle last,
although with a downside that more of the function now runs under the
dev->object_name_lock.

Looking into the individual drivers open() hooks, we have
amdgpu_gem_object_open which seems like it could have a potential security
issue without this change.

A couple drivers like qxl_gem_object_open and vmw_gem_object_open
implement no-op hooks so no impact for them.

A bunch of other require a deeper look by individual owners to asses for
impact. Those are lima_gem_object_open, nouveau_gem_object_open,
panfrost_gem_open, radeon_gem_object_open and virtio_gpu_gem_object_open.

Putting aside the risk assesment of the above, some common scenarios to
think about are along these lines:

1)
Userspace closes a handle by speculatively "guessing" it from a second
thread.

This results in an unreachable buffer object so, a memory leak.

2)
Same as 1), but object is in the process of getting closed (failed
creation).

The second thread is then able to re-cycle the handle and idr_remove would
in the first thread would then remove the handle it does not own from the
idr.

3)
Going back to the earlier per driver problem space - individual impact
assesment of allowing a second thread to access and operate on a partially
constructed handle / object. (Can something crash? Leak information?)

In terms of identifying when the problem started I will tag some patches
as references, but not all, if even any, of them actually point to a
broken state. I am just identifying points at which more opportunity for
issues to arise was added.
