[PATCH] xen/iommu: arm: Don't insert an IOMMU mapping when the grantee and granter...
Posted by Julien Grall 3 years, 1 month ago
From: Julien Grall <jgrall@amazon.com>

... are the same.

When the IOMMU is enabled and the domain is direct mapped (e.g. Dom0),
Xen will insert a 1:1 mapping for each grant mapping in the P2M to
allow DMA.

This works quite well when the grantee and granter and not the same
because the GFN in the P2M should not be mapped. However, if they are
the same, we will overwrite the mapping. Worse, it will be completely
removed when the grant is unmapped.

As the domain is direct mapped, a 1:1 mapping should always present in
the P2M. This is not 100% guaranteed if the domain decides to mess with
the P2M. However, such domain would already end up in trouble as the
page would be soon be freed (when the last reference dropped).

Add an additional check in arm_iommu_{,un}map_page() to check whether
the page belongs to the domain. If it is belongs to it, then ignore the
request.

Note that we don't need to hold an extra reference on the page because
the grant code will already do it for us.

This is a candidate for 4.15. Without the patch, it would not be
possible to get the frontend and backend in the same domain (useful when
trying to map the guest block device in dom0).

Doesn't this want / need solving in grant_table.c itself, as it also
affects PV on x86? Or alternatively in gnttab_need_iommu_mapping(),
handing the macro the MFN alongside the domain? No matter which one
was chosen, it could at the same time avoid the expensive mapkind()
invocation in this case.

Not knowing the x86 side I don't have an opinion on the best location
for the check. But I wanted to say for the records that the patch has
already been tested successfully and looks good to me.
