[PATCH v4 3/3] vfio/type1: handle DMA map/unmap up to the addressable limit
Posted by Alex Mastro 2 months, 1 week ago
Handle DMA map/unmap operations up to the addressable limit by comparing
against inclusive end-of-range limits, and changing iteration to
perform relative traversals across range sizes, rather than absolute
traversals across addresses.

vfio_link_dma inserts a zero-sized vfio_dma into the rb-tree, and is
only used for that purpose, so discard the size from consideration for
the insertion point.

I made a small comment about this on the corresponding code below..

It is possible I missed a previous thread where this was already 
discussed, but why are we adding this new restriction that 
vfio_link_dma() will _always_ be called with dma->size = 0? I know it is 
the case now, but is there a reason why future code could not try to 
insert a non-zero sized node?

I thought it would be more fitting to add overflow protection here too, 
as it is done for other code paths in the file? I know the WARN_ON() 
above will make us aware if there is ever another caller that attempts 
to use size !=0, so this is more of a nit about consistency than a 
concern about correctness.

Thank you,
Alejandro

Perhaps the WARN_ON is too coddlesome, but given that this helper is used for
exactly one purpose today, the intent is to strongly hint to a future user to
consider what they're doing by deviating from the current usage.

iommu->dma_list's invariant is that all elems should have non-overlapping iova
ranges, which is currently enforced pre-insertion in vfio_dma_do_map by the
vfio_find_dma check. After vfio_pin_map_dma returns, either the vfio_dma has
been grown to its full size, or has been removed from iommu->dma_list on error
via vfio_remove_dma.

The other code paths which check for overflow focus on sanitizing args at
the vfio_iommu_driver_ops boundary. Since this helper is downstream from those
existing checks, and given its specificity, I'm not sure additional checks here
would be helpful.
