![]() Previously we only held obj lock in the _active_get() path, and relied
on atomic_dec_return() to not be racy in the _active_put() path where
obj lock was not held.
But this is a false sense of security. Unlike obj lifetime refcnt,
where you do not expect to *increase* the refcnt after the last put
(which would mean that something has gone horribly wrong with the
object liveness reference counting), the active_count can increase
again from zero. Racing _active_put()s and _active_get()s could leave
the obj on the wrong mm list.
But in the retire path, immediately after the _active_put(), the
_unpin_iova() would acquire obj lock. So just move the locking earlier
and rely on that to protect obj->active_count.

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.
