[PATCH] vfio/cdx: reject non-shared MMIO mmaps
From: Abdifatah Suruur
Date: Sun Sep 06 2026 - 08:34:42 EST
vfio_cdx_mmap() accepts MAP_PRIVATE mappings. A non-shared mapping
with VM_MAYWRITE is a COW mapping, and remap_pfn_range()'s COW special
case in get_remap_pgoff() then overwrites vma->vm_pgoff with the
physical frame number:
if (is_cow) {
if (addr != vm_start || end != vm_end)
return -EINVAL;
*vm_pgoff_p = pfn;
}
The VMA is inserted into the device file's mapping->i_mmap interval
tree keyed by vm_pgoff, which VFIO expects to be the logical file
offset: the core links every device mmap to the device inode's
i_mapping precisely so that unmap_mapping_range() can revoke all
mappings associated with a device (see vfio_device_cdev_open()).
A raw PFN in vm_pgoff lands the interval tree entry in the wrong
coordinate space, so unmap_mapping_range() cannot find the VMA and a
stale MMIO mapping survives any revocation attempt. Without this
check, a MAP_PRIVATE mapping reintroduces that corruption even with
the logical-vm_pgoff fix in place.
Require VM_SHARED as vfio-pci, vfio/fsl-mc and vfio/platform already
do.
