[RFC PATCH 2/6] iommufd: Publish successful PAL mappings under resv

From: Karl Mehltretter

Date: Tue Oct 20 2026 - 02:41:59 EST


iopt_map_dmabuf() stores the PAL map result in exp_phys before checking
for errors and publishes the attachment after dropping resv. The
attachment is already linked to the DMA-buf. An invalidation after the
unlock can therefore pass a NULL attachment to dma_buf_pal_unmap_phys().
On map failure, the non-NULL error pointer also looks like a live mapping
to iopt_dmabuf_revoked().

Keep the map result local until it succeeds. Publish the attachment and
physical list together before dropping resv, leaving exp_phys NULL on
failure.
