[PATCH] iommu/iova: fix underflow bug in __alloc_and_insert_iova_range

From: Nate Watterson
Date: Fri Apr 07 2017 - 01:40:27 EST


Normally, calling alloc_iova() using an iova_domain with insufficient
pfns remaining between start_pfn and dma_limit will fail and return a
NULL pointer. Unexpectedly, if such a "full" iova_domain contains an
iova with pfn_lo == 0, the alloc_iova() call will instead succeed and
return an iova containing invalid pfns.

This is caused by an underflow bug in __alloc_and_insert_iova_range()
that occurs after walking the "full" iova tree when the search ends
at the iova with pfn_lo == 0 and limit_pfn is then adjusted to be just
below that (-1). This (now huge) limit_pfn gives the impression that a
vast amount of space is available between it and start_pfn and thus
a new iova is allocated with the invalid pfn_hi value, 0xFFF.... .

To rememdy this, a check is introduced to ensure that adjustments to
limit_pfn will not underflow.

This issue has been observed in the wild, and is easily reproduced with
the following sample code.

struct iova_domain *iovad = kzalloc(sizeof(*iovad), GFP_KERNEL);
struct iova *rsvd_iova, *good_iova, *bad_iova;
unsigned long limit_pfn = 3;
unsigned long start_pfn = 1;
unsigned long va_size = 2;

init_iova_domain(iovad, SZ_4K, start_pfn, limit_pfn);
rsvd_iova = reserve_iova(iovad, 0, 0);
good_iova = alloc_iova(iovad, va_size, limit_pfn, true);
bad_iova = alloc_iova(iovad, va_size, limit_pfn, true);

Prior to the patch, this yielded:
*rsvd_iova == {0, 0} /* Expected */
*good_iova == {2, 3} /* Expected */
*bad_iova == {-2, -1} /* Oh no... */

After the patch, bad_iova is NULL as expected since inadequate
space remains between limit_pfn and start_pfn after allocating
good_iova.
