Alexey Kardashevskiy eb9d7a62c3 powerpc/mm_iommu: Fix potential deadlock
Currently mm_iommu_do_alloc() is called in 2 cases:
- VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_REGISTER_MEMORY ioctl() for normal memory:
	this locks &mem_list_mutex and then locks mm::mmap_sem
	several times when adjusting locked_vm or pinning pages;
- vfio_pci_nvgpu_regops::mmap() for GPU memory:
	this is called with mm::mmap_sem held already and it locks
	&mem_list_mutex.

So one can craft a userspace program to do special ioctl and mmap in
2 threads concurrently and cause a deadlock which lockdep warns about
(below).

We did not hit this yet because QEMU constructs the machine in a single
thread.

This moves the overlap check next to where the new entry is added and
reduces the amount of time spent with &mem_list_mutex held.

This moves locked_vm adjustment from under &mem_list_mutex.

This relies on mm_iommu_adjust_locked_vm() doing nothing when entries==0.

This is one of the lockdep warnings:

but task is already holding lock:

which lock already depends on the new lock.

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.
