iommufd/fault: Use a separate spinlock to protect fault->deliver list
The fault->mutex serializes the fault read()/write() fops and the iommufd_fault_auto_response_faults(), mainly for fault->response. Also, it was conveniently used to fence the fault->deliver in poll() fop and iommufd_fault_iopf_handler(). However, copy_from/to_user() may sleep if pagefaults are enabled. Thus, they could take a long time to wait for user pages to swap in, blocking iommufd_fault_iopf_handler() and its caller that is typically a shared IRQ handler of an IOMMU driver, resulting in a potential global DOS. Instead of reusing the mutex to protect the fault->deliver list, add a separate spinlock, nested under the mutex, to do the job. iommufd_fault_iopf_handler() would no longer be blocked by copy_from/to_user(). Add a free_list in iommufd_auto_response_faults(), so the spinlock can simply fence a fast list_for_each_entry_safe routine. Provide two deliver list helpers for iommufd_fault_fops_read() to use: - Fetch the first iopf_group out of the fault->deliver list - Restore an iopf_group back to the head of the fault->deliver list Lastly, move the mutex closer to the response in the fault structure, and update its kdoc accordingly.
