Revert "ashmem: avoid deadlock between read and mmap calls"

This reverts commit 8e0ab3090ed07c6bbb539c26ffbad8099dbe3a64.
staging: android: ashmem: get_name,set_name not to hold ashmem_mutex

Problem:
There exists a path in ashmem driver that could lead to acquistion
of mm->mmap_sem, ashmem_mutex in reverse order. This could lead
to deadlock in the system.
For Example, assume that mmap is called on a ashmem region
in the context of a thread say T1.
 sys_mmap_pgoff (1. acquires mm->mmap_sem)
  |
   --> mmap_region
 	|
         ----> ashmem_mmap (2. acquires asmem_mutex)
 Now if there is a context switch after 1 and before 2,
 and if another thread T2 (that shares the mm struct) invokes an
 ioctl say ASHMEM_GET_NAME, this can lead to the following path

ashmem_ioctl
  |
  -->get_name (3. acquires ashmem_mutex)
	|
	---> copy_to_user (4. acquires the mm->mmap_sem)
Note that the copy_to_user could lead to a valid fault if no
physical page is allocated yet for the user address passed.
Now T1 has mmap_sem and is waiting for ashmem_mutex.
and T2 has the ashmem_mutex and is waiting for mmap_sem
Thus leading to deadlock.

Solution:
Do not call copy_to_user or copy_from_user while holding the
ahsmem_mutex. Instead copy this to a local buffer that lives
in the stack while holding this lock. This will maintain data
integrity as well never reverse the lock order.

Testing:
Created a unit test case to reproduce the problem.
Used the same to test this fix on kernel version 3.4.0
Ported the same patch to 3.8

ashmem: avoid deadlock between read and mmap calls

Avoid holding ashmem_mutex across code that can page fault.  Page faults
grab the mmap_sem for the process, which are also held by mmap calls
prior to calling ashmem_mmap, which locks ashmem_mutex.  The reversed
order of locking between the two can deadlock.

The calls that can page fault are read() and the ASHMEM_SET_NAME and
ASHMEM_GET_NAME ioctls.  Move the code that accesses userspace pages
outside the ashmem_mutex.

staging: android: ashmem: Avoid deadlock with mmap/shrink

Both ashmem_mmap and ashmem_shrink take the ashmem_lock. It may
be possible for ashmem_mmap to invoke ashmem_shrink:

-000|mutex_lock(lock = 0x0)
-001|ashmem_shrink(?, sc = 0x0) <--- try to take ashmem_mutex again
-002|shrink_slab(shrink = 0xDA5F1CC0, nr_pages_scanned = 0, lru_pages

-013|shmem_file_setup(?, ?, flags = 187)
-014|ashmem_mmap(?, vma = 0xC5D64210) <---- Acquire ashmem_mutex
-015|mmap_region(file = 0xDF8E2C00, addr = 1772974080, len = 233472,

Avoid this deadlock by using mutex_trylock in ashmem_shrink; if the mutex
is already held, do not attempt to shrink.
