[PATCH 0/4] iommufd: Keep IOMMU_HWPT_GET_DIRTY_BITMAP within the user bitmap

From: Andrea Parri

Date: Fri Sep 25 2026 - 12:19:55 EST


IOMMU_HWPT_GET_DIRTY_BITMAP can set bits past the end of the bitmap the
caller passed in. Two cases, both fixed here.

iova_bitmap_set() does not clip the range it records to the bitmap. When
a query ends inside a dirty huge IOPTE, the generic page table code
records the whole entry and the bits past the end of the user bitmap are
set, up to the end of the last pinned page. The helper is shared with
VFIO DMA logging, so the clip covers both users. Patch 1 fixes it and
patch 2 tests it.

iommufd_check_iova_range() subtracts one from the length before checking
it, so iova = 0 with length = 0 is accepted and reaches
iova_bitmap_alloc() with length - 1 == SIZE_MAX, a range the clip in
patch 1 cannot bound. Patch 3 rejects a zero length and patch 4 tests
it.

Tested on x86-64 under virtme-ng with CONFIG_IOMMUFD_TEST=y and
hugepages=128. Without the fixes the new tests fail: the overrun test
finds 56 bytes set past an 8-byte bitmap, and the zero-length query
returns success. With the series the iommufd_dirty_tracking fixture
passes, the overrun test skipping on the variants without huge IOPTEs.

Andrea Parri (4):
iommufd/iova_bitmap: Clip recorded ranges to the bitmap
iommufd/selftest: Test dirty bitmap recording past the query
iommufd: Reject a zero-length dirty bitmap request
iommufd/selftest: Test a zero-length dirty bitmap request
