[PATCH] iommu/vt-d: Fix scatterlist offset handling

[PATCH] iommu/vt-d: Fix scatterlist offset handling

[Robin Murphy]

The intel-iommu DMA ops fail to correctly handle scatterlists where
sg->offset is greater than PAGE_SIZE - the IOVA allocation is computed
appropriately based on the page-aligned portion of the offset, but the
mapping is set up relative to sg->page, which means it fails to actually
cover the whole buffer (and in the worst case doesn't cover it at all):

    (sg->dma_address + sg->dma_len) ----+
    sg->dma_address ---------+          |
    iov_pfn------+           |          |
                 |           |          |
                 v           v          v

        |--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|
                          <...calculated....>
                 [_____mapped______]

                 ^           ^          ^
                 |           |          |
    sg->page ----+           |          |
    sg->offset --------------+          |
    (sg->offset + sg->length) ----------+

As a result, the caller ends up overrunning the mapping into whatever
lies beyond, which usually goes badly:

[  429.645492] DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 2
[  429.650847] DMAR: [DMA Write] Request device [02:00.4] fault addr f2682000 ...

Whilst this is a fairly rare occurrence, it can happen from the result
of intermediate scatterlist processing such as scatterwalk_ffwd() in the
crypto layer. Whilst that particular site could be fixed up, it still
seems worthwhile to bring intel-iommu in line with other DMA API
implementations in handling this robustly.

To that end, fix the intel_map_sg() path to line up the mapping
correctly (in units of MM pages rather than VT-d pages to match the
aligned_nrpages() calculation) regardless of the offset, and use
sg_phys() consistently for clarity.

  Thanks Robin.  Harsh can certainly test your latest patch as soon as he's
back in the office tomorrow morning India time.  If your patch works and is
accepted, it sounds like the commit would be important enough to consider
backporting into various Long-Term Support releases and the affected
distributions.  What's the procedure for nominating a commit for LTS inclusion?

I tend to leave stable decisions up to Joerg as the subsystem
maintainer, particularly when it's code outside my usual areas of
familiarity. FWIW, from a real dig through the history, the fragile
logic seems to date from the 2.6 days, having snuck in with b536d24d212c
("intel-iommu: Clean up intel_map_sg(), remove domain_page_mapping()")

I hope our email server hasn't got blacklisted again... Said patch is

The picture seems right. Looking at the code i'm not sure if i understand
it correctly.

pgoff = sg->offset & ~PAGE_MASK;

this gets the offset past the start of page.

sg->dma_address = ((dma_addr_t)iov_pfn << VTD_PAGE_SHIFT) + pgoff;

this would set dma_address at b+off instead of starting at c+off correct?

I assumed align_nrpages() would allocate 2 pages when
the offset is over PAGE_SIZE, but it seems economical and only
allocates 1 page to cover just the sg->length bytes.

the pteval also seems correct now, since you changed to 
sg_phys() that already accounts for sg->offset, so you 
subtract pgoff.

-           pteval = page_to_phys(sg_page(sg)) | prot;
+           pteval = (sg_phys(sg) - pgoff) | prot;

Hi Robin/Ashok,

Find attached trace of DMA write error. I had a look on trace but didn't find anything suspicious.

Let me know if you need more trace.

As a reminder, Harsh and Atul will be waking up in a few hours, so if there
are additional tests for which you'd like them to gather data, it would be

I'd still dearly love to see some clear documentation of what it means
for sg->offset to be outside the page referenced by sg->page.

Or is it really not "outside", and it's *only* valid for the offset to
be > PAGE_OFFSET when it's a huge page, so we can check that with a
BUG_ON() ? 

In particular, I'd like to know what is intended in the Xen PV case,
where there isn't a straight correspondence between pfn and mfn. Is the
out-of-range sg->offset intended to refer to the next *pfn* after sg-
>page, or to the next *mfn* after sg->page? 

I confess I've only followed this thread vaguely, but I haven't seen a
*coherent* explanation except in the huge page case (in which case I
want to see that BUG_ON in the patch) of why this isn't just totally
bogus.

I think the key is that for each SG segment, sg->page doesn't
necessarily represent "a" page, but the first of one or more contiguous
pages. Disregarding offsets for the moment, Here's a typical example of
a 120KB buffer from the block layer as processed by iommu_dma_map_sg():

[   16.092649] == initial (4) ==
[   16.095591]  0: virt ffff800001372000	phys 0x0000000081372000	dma 0x0000000000000000

i.e. segments of 14 pages, 13 pages, 2 pages and 1 page respectively
(and we further merge the resulting DMA-contiguous segments on top of
that).

Now, there are indeed plenty of drivers and subsystems which do work on
lists of explicitly single pages - anything doing some variant of
"addr = kmap_atomic(sg_page(sg)) + sg->offset;" is easy to spot - but I
don't think DMA API implementations are in a position to make any kind
of assumption; nearly all of them just shut up and handle sg->length
bytes from sg_phys(sg) without questioning the caller, and I reckon
that's exactly what they should be doing.

Logically, it should mean the same thing as whatever a length of more
than 1 page means to Xen - judging by blkif_queue_rw_req() at least,
that seems to be a BUG_ON() in both cases.

As I've said before, I'd certainly consider it a denormalised case, but
not a bogus one, and certainly not something that is the DMA API's job
to police. Having now audited every dma_map_ops::map_sg implementation I
could find, the only ones not using sg_phys()/sg_virt() or some other
construction immune to the absolute offset value (MIPS even explicitly
normalises it) are intel-iommu and arch/frv, and the latter is clearly
broken anyway as it ignores sg->length.

So what's the point in sg->page in the first place? If even the
*offset* can be greater than page size, it isn't even the *first* page
(as you called it). Why aren't we just using a physical address,
instead of an arbitrary page and an offset from that?

Can we have *negative* sg->offset too? :)

To nitpick, "the first of one or more contiguous pages" does not imply
"the first page of the buffer" - the buffer just lies *somewhere* within
that run of pages.

Historically, it looks like page+offset first came about in the 2.5 era
to support highmem[1] - note that scatterlist users still only really
care about virtual and DMA address, not physical. Sure, it wouldn't be
entirely impossible to use phys_addr_t instead, but at this point it
would be a massively invasive change, and would make implementations of
one DMA API callback a tiny bit simpler at the cost of pushing rather
more complexity out to hundreds of other users, some of whom might not
even call dma_map_sg().

The fact is, regardless of how much sense it does or doesn't make, a
fair amount of scatterlist-mangling code exists that is capable of
generating silly offsets, and it's so simple to make sure the DMA API
implementations don't care that I'd rather just keep on top of that than
go off on a crusade in attempt to wipe out the grey areas.

> Can we have *negative* sg->offset too? :)

I'm gonna say no ;)

I agree with that, it is not explicitly forbidden to have an
sg->offset > PAGE_SIZE and most IOMMU drivers handle this case.

So this is a problem I'd like to see resolved in the VT-d driver too. If
nobody comes up with a correct fix soon I'll apply this one and rip out
the large-page support from __domain_mapping() to make it work.

Speaking of __domain_mapping(), this function is a big unmaintainable
mess which should be split and rewritten. A clean and maintainable
rewrite can alse re-add the large-page support.

That seems like a good start. I have reviewed Robin's fix and it seems
to make sense. I'll start looking at making __domain_mapping() 
to make it more manageable.

Hi All,

Just to give an update on the offline debugging of this issue. With
Robin's patch applied, I was able to reproduce the failure with
similar configuration that Jain helped to set up.

I added trace prints just to see the map/unmap activities leading to
the DMAR fault. When fault occurs, the trace shows there is an unmap to
the offending iova pfn. So I think this is a separate problem than
Robin's patch is fixing. I think we should move forward to merge this
patch upstream and stable. The remaining problem is likely a race
condition between unmap and DMA activities.

Here a brief extracted log, ee3d7 is the iova pfn in question.

Re: [PATCH] iommu/vt-d: Fix scatterlist offset handling

[Jacob Pan]

Hi Alex and all,

Just wondering if you could merge Robin's patch for the next rc. From
all our testing, this seems to be a solid fix and should be included in
the stable releases as well.

Thanks,

Hi Jacob,

Sorry, this wasn't on my radar, I only scanned for patches back through
about when Joerg refreshed his next branch (others on the list speak up
if I didn't pickup your patches for the v4.15 merge window).

This patch makes sense to me and I'm glad you were able to work through
the anomaly Harsh saw in testing as an unrelated issue, but...

What do we do about this?  I certainly can't rip out large page support
and put a stable tag on the patch.  I'm not really spotting what's
wrong with large page support here, other than the comment about it
being a mess.  Suggestions?  Thanks,

Alex

Largepage seems to work and i don't think we need to rip it out. When
Harsh tested it at one point we thought disabling super-page seemed to make
the problem go away. Jacob tested and we still saw the need for Robin's patch.

Yes, the function looks humongous but i don't think we should wait for that 
before this merge.

Cheers,
Ashok

Ok.  Who wants to toss in review and testing sign-offs?  Clearly
there's been a lot more eyes and effort on this patch than reflected in
the original posting.  I'll add a stable cc.  Thanks,
