The PASID is being freed too early.  It needs to stay around until after
device drivers that might be using it have had a chance to clear it out
of the hardware.

As a reminder:

mmget() /mmput()  refcount the mm's address space
mmgrab()/mmdrop() refcount the mm itself

The PASID is currently tied to the life of the mm's address space and
freed in __mmput().  This makes logical sense because the PASID can't be
used once the address space is gone.

But, this misses an important point: even after the address space is
gone, the PASID will still be programmed into a device.  Device drivers
might, for instance, still need to flush operations that are outstanding
and need to use that PASID.  They do this at file->release() time.

Device drivers call the IOMMU driver to hold a reference on the mm itself
and drop it at file->release() time.  But, the IOMMU driver holds a
reference on the mm itself, not the address space.  The address space
(and the PASID) is long gone by the time the driver tries to clean up.
This is effectively a use-after-free bug on the PASID.

To fix this, move the PASID free operation from __mmput() to __mmdrop().
This ensures that the IOMMU driver's existing mmgrab() keeps the PASID
allocated until it drops its mm reference.

Fixes: 701fac40384f ("iommu/sva: Assign a PASID to mm on PASID allocation and free it on mm exit")

Hi,

Will this be taken for 5.18?

mm: Fix PASID use-after-free issue

The PASID is being freed too early.  It needs to stay around until after
device drivers that might be using it have had a chance to clear it out
of the hardware.

The relevant refcounts are:

  mmget() /mmput()  refcount the mm's address space
  mmgrab()/mmdrop() refcount the mm itself

The PASID is currently tied to the life of the mm's address space and freed
in __mmput().  This makes logical sense because the PASID can't be used
once the address space is gone.

But, this misses an important point: even after the address space is gone,
the PASID will still be programmed into a device.  Device drivers might,
for instance, still need to flush operations that are outstanding and need
to use that PASID.  They do this at file->release() time.

Device drivers call the IOMMU driver to hold a reference on the mm itself
and drop it at file->release() time.  But, the IOMMU driver holds a
reference on the mm itself, not the address space.  The address space (and
the PASID) is long gone by the time the driver tries to clean up.  This is
effectively a use-after-free bug on the PASID.

To fix this, move the PASID free operation from __mmput() to __mmdrop().
This ensures that the IOMMU driver's existing mmgrab() keeps the PASID
allocated until it drops its mm reference.

Fixes: 701fac40384f ("iommu/sva: Assign a PASID to mm on PASID allocation and free it on mm exit")
