[PATCH 00/17] [PATCH 00/17] dmaengine: idxd: fixes found by an in-kernel polling client

[Daniel Byrne]

These are fixes for bugs in the idxd driver that an in-kernel polling
client exposed while sharing DSA work queues between many io_uring rings
(that client is to be posted separately as "io_uring: DMA-engine copy offload
for buffered file I/O"). They apply to v7.3 on their own and do not
depend on that series. Each patch says which released kernels it
affects; the ones that fit stable are tagged.

In short:
 - the event-log fault path dereferences a NULL workqueue on a kernel WQ
   (stable, 6.4+), plus a hardening of the user WQ's workqueue teardown;
 - a memcpy longer than the work queue's transfer limit is accepted at
   prep and fails silently in hardware (stable, 5.10+);
 - a channel is listed before it is complete, and a failed registration
   leaves a freed channel on the list (stable, 5.13+);
 - the device driver is unbound after its work queues were freed;
 - terminate_all releases the work queue's interrupt handle for good
   (stable, 7.0+);
 - device commands wait forever, and the interrupt-handle release writes
   over a running command; the device disable misreads the fail-fast
   status as "already disabled"; the device is disabled after its
   queues' software state is gone; a reset loses the command interrupt
   it re-creates;
 - terminate_all frees descriptor slots the device still holds, and
   drains and resets report a timeout as a completed drain;
 - a descriptor whose submission failed is freed twice (stable, 5.14+);
 - an iaa_crypto descriptor is completed as a dmaengine transaction on
   abort and flush (stable, 6.8+);
 - software- and system-reset halts never flush the work queues, a halt
   flush strips the callbacks of live clients, and the interrupt-handle
   revoke runs without the queue lock.

Tested on a Granite Rapids system with four DSA devices: crc32c-verified
DMA I/O from the io_uring client under WQ unbind, live unbind and rebind,
driver unbind, PCI FLR and PCI driver unbind and rebind, on a v7.2-based
tree, clean under KASAN, DMA_API_DEBUG and lockdep; the v7.3 rebase is
conflict-free and build-tested per patch.

[PATCH 01/17] dmaengine: idxd: don't queue EVL fault work for kernel WQs

[Daniel Byrne]

The event log fault path queues work on wq->wq, the workqueue that
only the user (cdev) driver creates for its work queues. A completion
record fault logged for a kernel work queue, as a dmaengine or
iaa_crypto queue is, finds that pointer NULL and queue_work()
dereferences it.

The fault worker only serves user contexts: it copies the completion
record through the PASID xarray that cdev opens populate. On a kernel
work queue there is nothing to do, so log the entry ratelimited and
drop it. Test the queue's type and not the pointer alone, since a user
probe that failed leaves the pointer dangling.

[PATCH 02/17] dmaengine: idxd: detach the user fault workqueue under the event log lock

[Daniel Byrne]

The event log walk tests wq->wq and queues fault work on it, and the
drain of a closing context's PASID tests it and drains it, both under
evl->lock. The user driver's remove destroyed the workqueue without
that lock, so a walk could queue on a workqueue being destroyed, and
the probe's error path destroyed it without clearing the pointer, so a
later walk or drain found a dangling one.

Detach and destroy the workqueue under evl->lock, in one helper that
the remove and the probe error path share, and clear the pointer in
both. A walk or a drain that finds it gone knows that the fault work
it would have waited for has run.

[PATCH 03/17] dmaengine: idxd: refuse a memcpy longer than the WQ max transfer size

[Daniel Byrne]

idxd_dma_submit_memcpy() checks the length only against the device
limit from GENCAP. Since commit d7aad5550eca ("dmaengine: idxd: add
support for configurable max wq xfer size"), WQCFG is programmed with
the work queue's own max_transfer_size instead, and that is the limit
the hardware enforces. Since commit 92452a72ebdf ("dmaengine: idxd: set
defaults for wq configs"), that limit defaults to 2 MiB.

A copy longer than the work queue's limit is therefore accepted at prep
time and then fails in hardware with DSA_COMP_XFER_ERANGE. A client that
sets only tx->callback cannot see that error, so the copy looks
complete. Also check the work queue's limit, so that prep returns NULL
and the caller can fall back.

On a Granite Rapids DSA with the default 2 MiB work queue limit and a
device limit of 2 GiB, dmatest with norandom=1 and test_buf_size=4194304
reports a data error for every copy on v7.2: the destination is never
written, yet each copy completes. With this change the same test fails
at prep, and copies of 1 MiB and 2 MiB pass as before.

[PATCH 04/17] dmaengine: idxd: list a new channel only once it is complete

[Daniel Byrne]

idxd_register_dma_channel() links a new channel into the dma_device's
channel list before it registers the channel, and sets the channel's
work queue only after that. The dma_device is registered when the
device is enabled, before any of its work queues, and a channel
request walks the channel list of every registered device under
dma_list_mutex and may hand out any listed channel without a client.
A request that runs while a work queue is being enabled can therefore
take the half-built channel, and the allocation callback dereferences
its NULL work queue with dma_list_mutex held, after which every
channel request and release hangs. The link runs without that mutex
as well, so it races the walkers.

When the registration fails, the channel is freed but left on the
list, where the next request, the next channel's link and the device's
unregistration all reach it. Registration can fail: the core frees a
channel's id before it removes the channel's sysfs device. The channel
of a work queue enabled while another queue of the same device is
being disabled can therefore be handed an id whose sysfs name still
exists, and its registration then fails with -EEXIST.

Add dma_async_device_channel_add(), which registers a channel and only
then links it into its device's list, under dma_list_mutex, and use
it. The driver sets the channel's work queue and initializes its
descriptors before the call, so a request finds the channel complete
or not at all, and a channel that failed to register is never listed.
An enable that hits the -EEXIST race still fails, but leaves nothing
on the list.

A new helper rather than a change to dma_async_device_channel_register():
that function's contract requires the caller to have linked the channel
into the device's list already, which virt-dma's vchan_init() does for
stm32-dma3, the only other caller. That driver has the same window
between the link and the registration and is left for a follow-up.

The helper serves DMA_PRIVATE devices such as idxd's only, since the
channel list of a public device is also walked under RCU alone and its
channels hold references for the dmaengine_get() users, which the
helper does not take. The unbind still unlinks the channel without the
mutex. A later change, which reworks the unbind for channels that
clients still hold, unlinks it under the mutex.

The hang is reachable since the dma_device registration moved to the
device enable in v5.13, so this is for stable too.

[PATCH 05/17] dmaengine: idxd: unbind the device driver before its work queues go away

[Daniel Byrne]

idxd_remove() unregisters the work queue conf_devs first, and each
queue is freed by its conf_dev release. Only then does it unregister
the device's own conf_dev, whose driver remove, idxd_device_drv_remove(),
walks idxd->wqs and reads wq->state to disable the queues still
active. On a PCI unbind of an enabled device that is a read of freed
memory for every queue, which KASAN reports as a slab-use-after-free.
The usual administrative flow disables the device first and never hits
it.

Release the device driver before the queues are unregistered, so its
remove sees them while they exist. The conf_dev is unregistered where it
was, now without a driver bound, and the reference taken there only
keeps the memory alive for the remaining cleanup.

That remove also releases the driver of every bound queue, not only of
the queues that read enabled. A halt's clear_state leaves a bound queue
disabled, and skipping it would unregister the dma_device while that
queue's channel is still registered, so the queue's own unbind later
freed the channel and the device a second time.

The devices on the dsa bus stay open to a sysfs bind until they are
unregistered, and the bus does not take the parent's lock, so the PCI
device lock that the remove holds does not exclude a bind. The early
unbind leaves the device reading enabled while its queues' drivers are
released, and disabled before it is unregistered, which a queue probe
and the device probe accept respectively. The remove therefore marks
the device as going away before it unbinds the driver, and the device
probe and the queue enable, which every queue driver's probe calls,
refuse a device so marked, as the driver core did once the devices
were unregistered.

[PATCH 06/17] dmaengine: idxd: keep the interrupt handle across terminate_all

[Daniel Byrne]

idxd_wq_flush_descs(), the device_terminate_all() implementation,
released the work queue's interrupt handle and cleared its permission
entry after flushing the pending descriptors. The handle is only
requested again when the driver rebinds. On a live channel every
descriptor submitted with a completion interrupt after a terminate
therefore fails with DSA_COMP_INT_HANDLE_INVAL, and since no
interrupt is raised for such a descriptor the client never learns of
it and waits forever. A single dmaengine_terminate_sync() on an error
path, which the API allows, disabled the channel for good.

Flush the pending descriptors only. Releasing the handle and clearing
the permission entry belong to idxd_wq_free_irq(), which already does
both when the interrupt is torn down. idxd_wq_flush_descs() is also the
flush of the FLR halt path, which relied on it to mark the handles
invalid. The FLR revokes every handle, so that path now marks them
invalid itself, without a device command, and the teardown after the
reset skips the release of a handle the reset has already revoked.

At this point idxd_flush_pending_descs() still frees the slots of
in-flight interrupt-armed descriptors while the device may hold them.
A later patch in this series, "dmaengine: idxd: quarantine
terminate_all's descriptor slots until the device has drained",
addresses that.

[PATCH 07/17] dmaengine: idxd: bound device command waits and fail fast after a timeout

[Daniel Byrne]

idxd_cmd_exec() waits forever, twice: first for a previous command to
finish, then for the interrupt that completes its own command. A device
command that never completes therefore leaves the caller in an
uninterruptible sleep, and every subsequent command joins the queue
behind it. Observed with a DRAIN_WQ issued from cdev release while a
descriptor sat blocked on a page fault that could not be serviced: the
releasing process became unkillable, every later process exit queued
behind it in D state, and the reboot hung until a power cycle.

Bound both waits at 30 seconds; a drain of a loaded work queue is the
slowest legitimate command and healthy commands complete in
microseconds. Only the owner of a command can tell that it is stuck. A
caller waiting for the running command restarts its budget whenever
another command starts running and gives up when the owner marks the
device, so healthy commands queued behind one another never add up to
a false timeout. On its own timeout the owner sets
IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT, so waiters and later commands fail fast with
IDXD_CMDSTS_HW_ERR, and leaves IDXD_FLAG_CMD_RUNNING set, since the
device may still be executing the command and writing another to the
command register would be undefined. The command completion lives on
the owner's stack, so it is detached under cmd_lock on timeout, and
the interrupt handler checks under that lock that it is still set.

A timeout fences the device: every command fails fast and nothing is
freed. A late completion interrupt clears both flags, so a device that
was merely slow is usable again, and so do a PCI reset and the recovery
from a halt, which also forget the running command and wake its owner
instead of letting it sleep out the timeout. The owner checks under
cmd_lock that the command is still its own before it reads the status;
a forgotten command is reported failed and marks nothing. There is no
sysfs lever to clear the state.

The interrupt-handle release polled the command register under
cmd_lock, which idxd_cmd_exec() does not hold while its command runs,
so it could be written over a running command, and it spun unbounded
with preemption off. Send it through idxd_cmd_exec() like the request.

Author: Daniel Byrne <daniel1.byrne@intel.com>

dmaengine: idxd: bound device command waits and fail fast after a timeout

This commit bounds waits in idxd_cmd_exec() to 30 seconds and adds
IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT so subsequent commands fail fast after a timeout. It
also introduces idxd_cmd_reset_state() to clear command state across resets
and halts, and routes interrupt-handle releases through idxd_cmd_exec().

[Severity: High]
What happens to a caller waiting in idxd->cmd_waitq if a device halt or PCI
reset occurs while another command is running?

When a second command enters idxd_cmd_exec() while the first command is
running, it passes the initial idxd_device_is_halted() check, takes
idxd->cmd_lock, and sleeps in wait_event_lock_irq_timeout() on
idxd->cmd_waitq.

If the device then halts or resets, idxd_device_reinit() or
idxd_reset_done() calls idxd_cmd_reset_state(idxd):

drivers/dma/idxd/device.c:idxd_cmd_reset_state() {
	...
	if (idxd->cmd_done)
		complete(idxd->cmd_done);
	idxd->cmd_done = NULL;
	__clear_bit(IDXD_FLAG_CMD_RUNNING, &idxd->flags);
	clear_bit(IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT, &idxd->flags);
	wake_up(&idxd->cmd_waitq);
	...
}

While the first command sees idxd->cmd_done != &done and aborts, the second
command wakes from idxd->cmd_waitq and sees both IDXD_FLAG_CMD_RUNNING and
IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT cleared. It exits the while loop without checking
whether a reset intervened or re-checking idxd_device_is_halted(idxd), and
writes cmd.bits to IDXD_CMD_OFFSET.

In idxd_device_reinit(), idxd_cmd_reset_state() is called before
idxd_device_reset() while the hardware is still in IDXD_DEVICE_STATE_HALT
(and the same occurs if the first command completes just as the device
halts). Submitting the queued command to the halted device will never
complete, causing a 30-second hang and setting IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT to
fence the device.

Similarly, in idxd_reset_done(), idxd_cmd_reset_state() wakes pre-reset
waiters at the start of reset recovery (before idxd_unbind() and before the
later commit "dmaengine: idxd: hold device commands off while the reset
re-creates its interrupts" calls idxd_cmd_hold() in
idxd_pci_probe_alloc()), allowing stale pre-reset commands to be issued
against post-reset hardware.

Should waiters in idxd->cmd_waitq also abort when a reset or halt occurs?

[Severity: High]
Can idxd_cmd_reset_state() actually be reached to wake a command owner if
the owner is holding wq->wq_lock when a halt or PCI reset occurs?

Most workqueue commands call idxd_cmd_exec() while holding wq->wq_lock,
including:
  idxd_drv_enable_wq() -> idxd_wq_enable()
  idxd_drv_enable_wq() -> idxd_wq_request_irq() -> idxd_device_request_int_handle()
  idxd_drv_disable_wq() -> idxd_wq_drain() / idxd_wq_free_irq() / idxd_wq_reset()
  idxd_cdev_open() -> idxd_wq_set_pasid() -> idxd_wq_disable() / idxd_wq_enable()

If the device halts or a PCI reset is initiated while a caller is sleeping
in idxd_cmd_exec() with wq->wq_lock held, the halt and reset paths attempt
to acquire wq->wq_lock before idxd_cmd_reset_state() is ever called:

1. In idxd_halt(), the IDXD_DEVICE_RESET_FLR branch does not call
idxd_cmd_reset_state() and immediately calls idxd_wqs_flush_descs(idxd) ->
idxd_wq_flush_descs(wq), which locks wq->wq_lock on every WQ before
queueing idxd_device_flr:

drivers/dma/idxd/irq.c:idxd_halt() {
	...
	} else if (gensts.reset_type == IDXD_DEVICE_RESET_FLR) {
		int i;

		idxd->state = IDXD_DEV_HALTED;
		idxd_mask_error_interrupts(idxd);
		idxd_wqs_flush_descs(idxd);
	...
}

The final else branch of idxd_halt() never calls idxd_cmd_reset_state() at
all and calls idxd_wqs_quiesce(idxd) and idxd_device_clear_state(idxd) ->
idxd_device_wqs_clear_state(idxd), which also lock wq->wq_lock. In addition,
later in this series, commit "dmaengine: idxd: flush the work queues on
every halt type" adds idxd_wqs_halt_flush() to all three branches of
idxd_halt() (including IDXD_DEVICE_RESET_SOFTWARE before idxd_device_reinit
is queued), so every halt path locks wq->wq_lock before
idxd_cmd_reset_state() can run.

2. During a PCI reset (via idxd_device_flr or sysfs reset),
pci_reset_function() calls idxd_reset_prepare() ->
idxd_device_config_save() before idxd_reset_done() (where
idxd_cmd_reset_state() is called), and idxd_device_config_save() acquires
wq->wq_lock for each WQ:

drivers/dma/idxd/init.c:idxd_device_config_save() {
	...
		wq = idxd->wqs[i];
		mutex_lock(&wq->wq_lock);
		memcpy(saved_wq, wq, sizeof(*saved_wq));
	...
}

Because idxd_halt() or idxd_reset_prepare() blocks on wq->wq_lock before
reaching idxd_cmd_reset_state(), won't the command owner sleep out the full
30-second timeout while holding wq->wq_lock, see idxd->cmd_done == &done
when wait_for_completion_timeout() expires, and falsely set
IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT?

[Severity: High]
Can tearing down WQ state after a command timeout or clearing
IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT on a late completion leave DMA buffers unmapped and
device state inconsistent while the WQ is still active in hardware?

In this commit, idxd_wq_drain(), idxd_wq_reset(), and
idxd_device_drain_pasid() do not propagate timeouts to their callers:

1. In idxd_file_dev_release(), if idxd_device_drain_pasid(),
idxd_wq_disable_pasid(), or idxd_wq_drain() times out, any follow-up
IDXD_CMD_RESET_WQ fails fast (leaving the WQ enabled in hardware with the
PASID programmed), and idxd_file_dev_release() proceeds to call
iommu_sva_unbind_device(ctx->sva) and kfree(ctx) while the device may still
access that PASID.

2. In idxd_drv_disable_wq():

drivers/dma/idxd/device.c:idxd_drv_disable_wq() {
	...
	idxd_wq_unmap_portal(wq);
	idxd_wq_drain(wq);
	idxd_wq_free_irq(wq);
	idxd_wq_reset(wq);
	idxd_wq_free_resources(wq);
	...
}

When idxd_wq_drain() times out, idxd_wq_free_irq() and idxd_wq_reset() fail
fast on IDXD_CMD_RELEASE_INT_HANDLE and IDXD_CMD_RESET_WQ, leaving the WQ
enabled in hardware, yet idxd_wq_reset() calls idxd_wq_disable_cleanup()
and idxd_drv_disable_wq() calls idxd_wq_free_resources() to free wq->compls
via dma_free_coherent().

A later commit in this series ("dmaengine: idxd: return -ETIMEDOUT from
drains and resets and leak what the device may still write") updates
idxd_file_dev_release() and idxd_drv_disable_wq() to leak ctx/ctx->sva and
skip idxd_wq_free_resources() and idxd_wq_disable_cleanup() on -ETIMEDOUT.
However, even with that follow-up commit, two issues remain when
idxd_wq_drain() times out during idxd_drv_disable_wq():

First, idxd_drv_disable_wq() still calls idxd_wq_free_irq(wq)
unconditionally after idxd_wq_drain(wq) fails with -ETIMEDOUT.
idxd_wq_free_irq() calls idxd_flush_pending_descs(ie, false, false) with
quarantine = false, which invokes idxd_dma_complete_txd() ->
dma_descriptor_unmap() on in-flight descriptors that the still-enabled
hardware WQ may still be writing.

Second, during the timeout window, idxd_wq_free_irq() skips
IDXD_CMD_RELEASE_INT_HANDLE and clears ie->int_handle = INVALID_INT_HANDLE
(assuming a device reset will revoke the handle), and idxd_wq_reset() skips
IDXD_CMD_RESET_WQ while idxd_drv_disable_wq() has already torn down
wq->wq_active, the portal, and the WQ IRQ. If the timed-out command then
completes late in idxd_misc_thread(), clearing IDXD_FLAG_CMD_RUNNING and
IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT without a reset leaves the hardware interrupt handle
leaked and the WQ stuck in IDXD_WQ_ENABLED with its portal, IRQ, and
wq_active reference already torn down.

Should idxd_wq_free_irq() quarantine descriptors when called after a
timeout, and is it safe for idxd_misc_thread() to clear
IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT without a device reset once teardown commands have
been skipped under that flag?

[PATCH 08/17] dmaengine: idxd: compare the device disable status code whole

[Daniel Byrne]

idxd_device_disable() accepts the command's status when it is success
or when `status & IDXD_CMDSTS_ERR_DIS_DEV_EN` is non-zero. The error
code is a value, not a bit mask, so that test accepts every code that
has bit 0 or bits 4-5 set, and IDXD_CMDSTS_HW_ERR (0x3), the code a
refused or timed-out command reports, is one of them. A disable that
the device refused then read as a device already disabled, after which
the device-level remove cleared the software state and freed memory
that the still-enabled device writes.

Compare the error code whole against the already-disabled code.

[PATCH 09/17] dmaengine: idxd: quarantine terminate_all's descriptor slots until the device has drained

[Daniel Byrne]

idxd_dma_terminate_all() flushes the pending descriptors and frees their
slots while the device still holds them. A late completion record then
lands on the slot's next owner and completes it with the old
descriptor's status, and the unmap data the client attached is released
while the device may still access the memory it maps; with an IOMMU
another mapping can reuse the released address and take the late
access.

Keep those slots out of use instead. terminate_all now waits for the
submitters in flight, so that every descriptor on the lists is in the
device, and the flush moves the descriptors the device has not finished
to a per-queue quarantine, with their unmap data, after it has completed
their cookies. device_synchronize() takes the quarantine, drains the
queue, which covers everything the device held when the drain was
issued, and only then frees the slots and the unmap data. A descriptor
terminated after the take waits for the next synchronize. The halt flush
frees the quarantine itself, since the halt killed every descriptor the
device held, and so does the queue disable once its drain and reset
have completed.

Author: Daniel Byrne <daniel1.byrne@intel.com>

dmaengine: idxd: quarantine terminate_all's descriptor slots until the device has drained

This commit prevents premature descriptor slot and DMA unmap data reuse on
idxd_dma_terminate_all() by moving in-flight aborted descriptors to a
per-queue quarantine list. The quarantined slots and unmap data are then
released in idxd_dma_synchronize() after draining the workqueue, or upon
device halt or workqueue resource teardown.

[Severity: High]
How are idxd_wq_flush_descs() and idxd_dma_synchronize() synchronized
against the per-WQ MSI-X threaded interrupt handler idxd_wq_thread()?

In drivers/dma/idxd/device.c, idxd_wq_flush_descs() kills wq->wq_active to
wait for submitters before calling idxd_flush_pending_descs(), which drains
ie->pending_llist and ie->work_list under ie->list_lock:

	spin_lock(&ie->list_lock);
	head = llist_del_all(&ie->pending_llist);
	if (head) {
		llist_for_each_entry_safe(desc, itr, head, llnode)
			list_add_tail(&desc->list, &ie->work_list);
	}

	list_for_each_entry_safe(desc, itr, &ie->work_list, list)
		list_move_tail(&desc->list, &flist);
	spin_unlock(&ie->list_lock);

However, idxd_wq_thread() remains active during both idxd_dma_terminate_all()
and idxd_dma_synchronize().

First, at this commit, irq_process_pending_llist() in drivers/dma/idxd/irq.c
detaches ie->pending_llist outside ie->list_lock and re-queues incomplete
descriptors one at a time:

	head = llist_del_all(&irq_entry->pending_llist);
	if (!head)
		return;

	llist_for_each_entry_safe(desc, t, head, llnode) {
		u8 status = desc->completion->status & DSA_COMP_STATUS_MASK;

		if (status) {
			...
		} else {
			spin_lock(&irq_entry->list_lock);
			list_add_tail(&desc->list,
				      &irq_entry->work_list);
			spin_unlock(&irq_entry->list_lock);
		}
	}

If idxd_flush_pending_descs() runs while irq_process_pending_llist() holds
the detached list in head, those descriptors are missed by the flush and
subsequently added back onto ie->work_list un-aborted and un-quarantined.
(A later commit in this series, "dmaengine: idxd: fix the double free of a
descriptor whose submission failed", moves llist_del_all() and the work_list
insertion under ie->list_lock, which closes that window for incomplete
descriptors.)

Second, even with that later change, both irq_process_work_list() and
irq_process_pending_llist() move completed descriptors onto a local flist
under ie->list_lock, drop ie->list_lock, and then invoke
idxd_desc_complete() -> idxd_dma_complete_txd() outside the lock. Any
descriptor moved to idxd_wq_thread()'s local flist before
idxd_flush_pending_descs() takes ie->list_lock will not have its callback
cleared.

Because idxd_dma_synchronize() only drains the hardware queue via
idxd_wq_drain(wq) and does not synchronize with the threaded IRQ handler
(for example via synchronize_irq(wq->ie.vector)), could
idxd_dma_synchronize() return while idxd_wq_thread() is still running
dma_descriptor_unmap() and dmaengine_desc_get_callback_invoke() on
previously submitted descriptors, leading to a use-after-free if the client
frees its callback context after dmaengine_synchronize()?

[Severity: High]
Can idxd_dma_synchronize() race with workqueue teardown and cause a
use-after-free on wq->descs and wq->sbq?

idxd_wq_halt_release() in drivers/dma/idxd/device.c acquires wq->wq_lock and
checks wq->state and wq->type before touching the quarantine:

void idxd_wq_halt_release(struct idxd_wq *wq)
{
	LIST_HEAD(dead_descs);

	guard(mutex)(&wq->wq_lock);

	if (wq->state != IDXD_WQ_ENABLED || wq->type != IDXD_WQT_KERNEL)
		return;

	idxd_wq_quarantine_take(wq, &dead_descs);
	idxd_wq_quarantine_free(wq, &dead_descs);
}

In contrast, idxd_dma_synchronize() splices wq->quarantine onto its local
stack list under only wq->ie.list_lock, sleeps in idxd_wq_drain() ->
idxd_cmd_exec(), and then frees the descriptors without holding wq->wq_lock.

If workqueue teardown runs concurrently (such as via sysfs unbind, PCI
removal in idxd_remove(), or FLR recovery in idxd_reset_done() calling
idxd_unbind() -> idxd_device_drv_remove() -> idxd_dmaengine_drv_remove() ->
idxd_drv_disable_wq() -> idxd_wq_free_resources()), idxd_wq_free_resources()
sees wq->quarantine empty because the descriptors were already moved onto
idxd_dma_synchronize()'s stack list, and proceeds to free wq->descs[i] and
wq->sbq:

	idxd_wq_quarantine_take(wq, &dead_descs);
	idxd_wq_quarantine_free(wq, &dead_descs);
	free_hw_descs(wq);
	free_descs(wq);
	dma_free_coherent(dev, wq->compls_size, wq->compls, wq->compls_addr);
	sbitmap_queue_free(&wq->sbq);

When idxd_wq_drain() returns in idxd_dma_synchronize(),
idxd_wq_quarantine_free() (or idxd_wq_quarantine_put_back() in the later
commit "dmaengine: idxd: return -ETIMEDOUT from drains and resets and leak
what the device may still write") will dereference the freed struct idxd_desc
objects and call idxd_free_desc() -> sbitmap_queue_clear() on the freed
wq->sbq. Should idxd_dma_synchronize() also serialize under wq->wq_lock and
verify the workqueue state before taking and freeing quarantined descriptors?

[PATCH 10/17] dmaengine: idxd: return -ETIMEDOUT from drains and resets and leak what the device may still write

[Daniel Byrne]

A device command that timed out, or was refused because an earlier one
did, leaves the device enabled with whatever it holds, and a timeout
must never read as a completed drain: the callers free the memory the
device still writes into, or unbind a PASID the device still issues DMA
with.

idxd_wq_drain(), idxd_wq_reset() and idxd_device_drain_pasid() return
-ETIMEDOUT for such a command, and their callers leak what the device
may still reach. The work queue disable keeps the descriptor and
completion memory, and the cdev release keeps the context and its
PASID binding. idxd_wq_disable() reports a failed drain instead of
resetting the queue, so the dedicated user queue's release keeps its
context as the shared queue's does. idxd_wq_reset() leaves the software
state of a queue whose reset timed out enabled, as idxd_wq_disable()
does after a failed reset: the device still runs the queue on its
configuration, and clearing that state let sysfs accept a new one and a
later bind enable the queue on it. idxd_device_reset() reports a refused
reset instead of clearing the software state of an enabled device, and
the device-level remove that could neither disable nor reset the device
keeps the event log.

A command a halted device never ran is not a timeout. A halted device
runs nothing until it is reset, so a drain or reset refused that way
counts as complete, and the cdev release unbinds its PASID normally.

device_synchronize() cannot keep its promise after a drain that failed.
The channel release path runs it under dma_list_mutex, and a device
that refused the drain offers nothing to wait for, so the driver keeps
its own memory safe instead: the quarantined slots stay out of use and
the queue takes no new descriptor until a later drain completes or a
halt kills what the device holds, so a late completion record lands in
a slot nobody reuses.

Re: [PATCH 10/17] dmaengine: idxd: return -ETIMEDOUT from drains and resets and leak what the device may still write

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 4 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Critical] dmaengine: idxd: idxd_drv_disable_wq() unmaps descriptors and resets on drain timeout
- [Critical] dmaengine: idxd: idxd_file_dev_release() leaves ctx in upasid_xa on drain timeout
- [High] dmaengine: idxd: idxd_cmd_drain_result() returns -ETIMEDOUT after device reset
- [High] dmaengine: idxd: race in idxd_dma_synchronize() wedges wq->stuck and quarantine

commit 419d6d526fb6d262b68bdf7275138378d8c6d253
Author: Daniel Byrne <daniel1.byrne@intel.com>

dmaengine: idxd: return -ETIMEDOUT from drains and resets and leak what the device may still write

This commit updates idxd_wq_drain(), idxd_wq_reset(), and
idxd_device_drain_pasid() to return -ETIMEDOUT when a command times out or is
refused after a timeout, and changes their callers to retain memory and PASID
bindings that the device might still access. It also marks workqueues as stuck
after a failed drain in idxd_dma_synchronize() so descriptor slots are not
reused while the device may still complete in-flight work.

[Severity: Critical]
When drained is non-zero in idxd_file_dev_release(), jumping to put_wq skips
idxd_xa_pasid_remove(ctx) in addition to iommu_sva_unbind_device(ctx->sva),
leaving ctx reachable in wq->upasid_xa after the file is closed and the
process exits.

Neither idxd_cdev_open() nor iommu_sva_bind_device() takes an mm_users
reference on ctx->mm (iommu_sva_bind_device() only takes mmgrab() on
mm_count). Once the process exits and exit_mmap() tears down the VMA tree and
page tables of ctx->mm, a subsequent event log completion record fault for
ctx->pasid will run idxd_evl_fault_work() -> idxd_copy_cr():

drivers/dma/idxd/cdev.c:idxd_copy_cr() {
	...
	ctx = xa_load(&wq->upasid_xa, pasid);
	if (!ctx) {
		dev_warn(dev, "No user context\n");
		goto out;
	}

	mm = ctx->mm;
	kthread_use_mm(mm);
	left = copy_to_user((void __user *)addr + status_size, cr + status_size,
			    len - status_size);
	...
}

Can this access a destroyed mm_struct (or write into reused virtual addresses
if the process only closed the file descriptor), and also cause xa_insert()
to fail with -EBUSY if the same process reopens the cdev after a late command
completion? Since keeping the IOMMU SVA binding already prevents the PASID
from being reallocated, should idxd_file_dev_release() still remove ctx from
wq->upasid_xa before leaking ctx and ctx->sva?

[Severity: High]
When a drain or reset command in idxd_cmd_exec() is ended by a concurrent
device reset or halt recovery via idxd_cmd_reset_state(), idxd_cmd_exec()
sets *status = IDXD_CMDSTS_HW_ERR:

drivers/dma/idxd/device.c:idxd_cmd_exec() {
	...
	if (idxd->cmd_done != &done) {
		spin_unlock(&idxd->cmd_lock);
		dev_err(&idxd->pdev->dev,
			"device command %#x was ended by a reset\n",
			cmd_code);
		if (status)
			*status = IDXD_CMDSTS_HW_ERR;
		return;
	}
	...
}

However, in idxd_reset_done() (after a PCI FLR), idxd_cmd_reset_state(idxd)
is called after the hardware reset has already completed, so GENSTS.state is
already IDXD_DEVICE_STATE_DISABLED (or IDXD_DEVICE_STATE_ENABLED once
re-enabled), not IDXD_DEVICE_STATE_HALT. Likewise, in idxd_device_reinit(),
idxd_cmd_reset_state(idxd) is immediately followed by idxd_device_reset(idxd)
and idxd_device_enable(idxd), which clear GENSTS.state out of HALT
concurrently with the woken caller.

When the woken caller then runs idxd_cmd_drain_result(idxd, status),
idxd_device_is_halted(idxd) will return false and idxd_cmd_drain_result()
will return -ETIMEDOUT even though the reset already killed all in-flight
descriptors in the device. Won't this cause idxd_file_dev_release() to leak
ctx and its PASID binding, idxd_drv_disable_wq() to leak descriptor memory
and leave wq->state enabled, and idxd_dma_synchronize() to put back
quarantined descriptors and set wq->stuck = true after idxd_wq_halt_release()
has already run?

[Severity: Critical]
If idxd_wq_drain(wq) fails with -ETIMEDOUT in idxd_drv_disable_wq(), the code
still unconditionally calls idxd_wq_free_irq(wq) and idxd_wq_reset(wq).

First, idxd_wq_free_irq(wq) calls idxd_flush_pending_descs(ie, false) with
quarantine set to false:

drivers/dma/idxd/device.c:idxd_wq_free_irq() {
	...
	free_irq(ie->vector, ie);
	idxd_flush_pending_descs(ie, false);
	...
}

In idxd_flush_pending_descs(), when quarantine is false, any pending
descriptors are completed with free_desc = true, which calls
dma_descriptor_unmap(tx) and idxd_free_desc(wq, desc). If the drain timed out
and the device is still active, won't this unmap the client's DMA buffers
while the device may still be reading or writing them?

Second, unlike idxd_wq_disable() which skips IDXD_CMD_RESET_WQ when
idxd_wq_drain() fails, idxd_drv_disable_wq() still calls idxd_wq_reset(wq).
If idxd_wq_drain() failed because an earlier command had timed out
(IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT), and that command completes late in
idxd_misc_thread() while idxd_wq_free_irq() is running, idxd_wq_reset(wq) can
execute IDXD_CMD_RESET_WQ on the undrained queue and succeed. That resets the
WQ without draining translations and runs idxd_wq_disable_cleanup(wq)
(setting wq->state = IDXD_WQ_DISABLED), while rc |= idxd_wq_reset(wq) remains
non-zero so idxd_wq_free_resources(wq) is skipped. Can this leave the WQ
reconfigurable via sysfs while its old descriptor resources remain allocated?

[Severity: High]
idxd_dma_synchronize() splices wq->quarantine onto its local stack list, runs
idxd_wq_drain(wq), and then updates wq->quarantine and wq->stuck without
holding wq->wq_lock, whereas idxd_wq_halt_release() and idxd_drv_disable_wq()
serialize using wq->wq_lock.

If a device halt happens right after idxd_cmd_drain_result() checks
idxd_device_is_halted(idxd), idxd_wq_halt_release(wq) can run under
wq->wq_lock while the quarantined descriptors are still on
idxd_dma_synchronize()'s stack:

drivers/dma/idxd/device.c:idxd_wq_halt_release() {
	...
	guard(mutex)(&wq->wq_lock);
	if (wq->state != IDXD_WQ_ENABLED || wq->type != IDXD_WQT_KERNEL)
		return;
	idxd_wq_quarantine_take(wq, &dead_descs);
	idxd_wq_quarantine_free(wq, &dead_descs);
	WRITE_ONCE(wq->stuck, false);
}

idxd_wq_halt_release() will see an empty wq->quarantine and set
wq->stuck = false, and then idxd_dma_synchronize() will splice the
descriptors back into wq->quarantine and set wq->stuck = true, leaking those
descriptors and wedging the queue after the halt.

Similarly, if a client calls dmaengine_synchronize() directly while
idxd_dmaengine_drv_remove() -> idxd_drv_disable_wq() ->
idxd_wq_free_resources() runs under wq->wq_lock, can idxd_wq_free_resources()
free wq->descs and wq->sbq while idxd_dma_synchronize() still holds
descriptors in its local quarantined list, leading to a use-after-free when
idxd_wq_quarantine_free() frees those descriptors back to wq->sbq?

[PATCH 11/17] dmaengine: idxd: disable the device before its work queues are unregistered

[Daniel Byrne]

idxd_remove() unregisters the work queues, and with them their
software state, before idxd_shutdown() disables the device. The
sub-driver's remove leaves the device enabled when a device command has
timed out, and a late completion can clear that fail-fast state at any
time, so the disable in idxd_shutdown() may be the one that runs. It
then clears the software state of queues that no longer exist.

Disable the device right after the sub-driver is unbound, while the
queues still exist. Mark the device disabled once bus mastering is off,
so that nothing reached through the device reads it as enabled, and do
so before the reference taken for the cleanup is dropped: that
reference is the last one, and its release frees the device.

dmaengine: idxd: disable the device before its work queues are unregistered

This commit moves idxd_shutdown() in idxd_remove() to run before
idxd_unregister_devices() so the device is disabled while the work queues
still exist, and sets idxd->state to IDXD_DEV_DISABLED after
pci_disable_device() before dropping the final reference to idxd_confdev.

[Severity: High]
If a command has timed out and does not complete before idxd_shutdown()
runs, idxd_device_disable() in idxd_shutdown() will also fail, leaving the
device enabled in hardware while idxd_unregister_devices() frees all
idxd->wqs[i] before idxd_cleanup_interrupts() frees MSI-X vector 0. Can a
misc interrupt fire in this window and dereference freed idxd->wqs[i]?

Specifically, when IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT is set, idxd_device_drv_remove()
skips idxd_device_evl_free(), leaving Event Log interrupts enabled in
hardware (gencfg.evl_en = 1, genctrl.evl_int_en = 1). In idxd_shutdown():

drivers/dma/idxd/init.c:idxd_shutdown() {
	rc = idxd_device_disable(idxd);
	if (rc)
		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Disabling device failed\n");

	irq_entry = &idxd->ie;
	synchronize_irq(irq_entry->vector);
	idxd_mask_error_interrupts(idxd);
	flush_workqueue(idxd->wq);
}

synchronize_irq() is called before idxd_mask_error_interrupts(), and
idxd_mask_error_interrupts() only clears softerr_int_en and halt_int_en,
leaving EVL and IDXD_INTC_INT_HANDLE_REVOKED interrupts enabled while
MSI-X vector 0 (idxd_misc_thread) stays active until
idxd_cleanup_interrupts().

Once idxd_unregister_devices() unregisters and frees idxd->wqs[i], an
IDXD_INTC_EVL interrupt running idxd_misc_thread() -> process_evl_entries()
-> process_evl_entry() will index into the freed wq:

drivers/dma/idxd/irq.c:process_evl_entry() {
	...
	struct idxd_wq *wq = idxd->wqs[entry_head->wq_idx];

	if (!is_idxd_wq_user(wq) || !wq->wq) {
	...
}

Similarly, an IDXD_INTC_INT_HANDLE_REVOKED interrupt (or a halt/error
interrupt racing between synchronize_irq() and idxd_mask_error_interrupts())
can access freed idxd->wqs[i] or queue work onto idxd->wq after
flush_workqueue(idxd->wq) has already completed, which could then run
after pci_iounmap(pdev, idxd->reg_base).

Should idxd_cleanup_interrupts() (or disabling bus mastering / freeing IRQ
vector 0 before flushing idxd->wq) happen before idxd_unregister_devices()
frees the work queues?

[Severity: Medium]
In the same command timeout case where the device remains enabled in
hardware until pci_disable_device(pdev) turns off bus mastering, is it
safe to call idxd_disable_system_pasid(idxd) before pci_disable_device(pdev)?

drivers/dma/idxd/init.c:idxd_disable_system_pasid() {
	...
	iommu_detach_device_pasid(domain, dev, idxd->pasid);
	iommu_free_global_pasid(idxd->pasid);

	idxd_set_user_intr(idxd, 0);
	...
}

Because bus mastering is still active when idxd_disable_system_pasid()
runs, could in-flight descriptors on the still-enabled device issue DMA
with idxd->pasid after it has been detached and freed, or could
idxd_set_user_intr() write GENCFG while the device is still enabled?

[PATCH 12/17] dmaengine: idxd: hold device commands off while the reset re-creates its interrupts

[Daniel Byrne]

The re-probe after a reset frees the misc interrupt and the MSI-X
vectors and requests them again. A device command whose completion
interrupt arrives in between is never completed, so its owner times
out and fences the device that was just reset, and the rebind in
idxd_reset_done() then fails.

Wait for the running command before the vectors are freed, since its
interrupt still arrives, and then hold IDXD_FLAG_CMD_RUNNING without an
owner until the interrupts are back, so that commands issued meanwhile
wait as they wait for any running command. A halt's recovery may forget
the hold, so it is released only if no newer command owns the state.

any running device command and hold IDXD_FLAG_CMD_RUNNING across the
interrupt teardown and re-setup window in idxd_pci_probe_alloc() during
reset recovery.

[Severity: Medium]
What happens in idxd_cmd_hold() if IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT is set when
wait_event_lock_irq() returns?

When a command times out in idxd_cmd_exec(), IDXD_FLAG_CMD_RUNNING remains
set alongside IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT. Because IDXD_FLAG_CMD_RUNNING is still
set, idxd_cmd_hold() skips setting held = true and returns false, and
idxd_pci_probe_alloc() proceeds to tear down and re-create interrupts
without a hold.

In idxd_cleanup_interrupts(), idxd_mask_error_interrupts() only masks error
interrupts in GENCTRL and does not mask IDXD_INTC_CMD. If a late command
completion interrupt arrives in idxd_misc_thread() before free_irq()
finishes (or if idxd_cmd_reset_state() runs concurrently):

drivers/dma/idxd/irq.c:idxd_misc_thread() {
    ...
		} else if (test_bit(IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT, &idxd->flags)) {
			__clear_bit(IDXD_FLAG_CMD_RUNNING, &idxd->flags);
			clear_bit(IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT, &idxd->flags);
			wake_up(&idxd->cmd_waitq);
			dev_warn(dev, "a timed-out device command completed late\n");
		}
    ...
}

Wouldn't this clear both IDXD_FLAG_CMD_RUNNING and IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT
and wake idxd->cmd_waitq while the MSI-X vectors and misc interrupt are
still being torn down and re-allocated, allowing waiting or newly issued
commands to be submitted while interrupts are absent?

[Severity: High]
If a concurrent halt recovery in idxd_device_reinit() forgets the hold
while idxd_pci_probe_alloc() is between idxd_cleanup_interrupts() and
idxd_setup_interrupts(), won't the command started after
idxd_cmd_reset_state() still lose its completion interrupt and time out?

Specifically, idxd_cmd_hold() overloads IDXD_FLAG_CMD_RUNNING to block
new commands, while idxd_cmd_reset_state() unconditionally clears it:

drivers/dma/idxd/device.c:idxd_cmd_reset_state() {
    ...
	__clear_bit(IDXD_FLAG_CMD_RUNNING, &idxd->flags);
	clear_bit(IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT, &idxd->flags);
	wake_up(&idxd->cmd_waitq);
    ...
}

And idxd_device_reinit() immediately issues a reset command right after
resetting the command state:

drivers/dma/idxd/irq.c:idxd_device_reinit() {
    ...
	idxd_cmd_reset_state(idxd);
	rc = idxd_device_reset(idxd);
    ...
}

If idxd_device_reinit() runs while the misc interrupt and MSI-X vectors
are freed during the reset re-probe in idxd_pci_probe_alloc(),
idxd_cmd_reset_state() clears IDXD_FLAG_CMD_RUNNING and wakes
idxd->cmd_waitq. Because pci_restore_state() in idxd_reset_done() has
already cleared the hardware halt state, idxd_device_reset() ->
idxd_cmd_exec() (along with any woken waiters) will submit a command while
the misc interrupt is torn down.

Although idxd_cmd_unhold() avoids clobbering the new command's state when
idxd->cmd_seq != seq, hasn't that command already been submitted while
interrupts were absent, causing it to lose its completion interrupt, time
out after 30 seconds, and fence the device?

[PATCH 13/17] dmaengine: idxd: fix the double free of a descriptor whose submission failed

[Daniel Byrne]

llist_abort_desc() marks the failed descriptor aborted before it
searches the lists for it. When the interrupt thread has just taken the
pending list into a private batch, the search misses it, the thread
completes and frees the descriptor on seeing the mark, and the caller
frees it again: sbitmap_queue_clear() then stores through the per-cpu
hint of cpu -1, or clears the bit of the slot's next owner, and a thread
that read the record before the mark puts the freed descriptor on the
work list. This needs only interrupt-armed descriptors in flight on a
shared queue whose ENQCMDS fails, as in a guest whose shared queue other
guests keep full.

Sort the pending list under the list lock in the thread, as the abort
does, so a descriptor still waiting on the hardware is always on one of
the lists the abort searches. The device never took a failed
descriptor, so its record stays clear and nothing completes it before
the abort has taken it off the lists; from then on it is the
submitter's alone and needs no mark. The finished descriptors the abort
takes off the pending list go to the work list for the interrupt thread,
which the abort wakes, instead of being completed in the submitter's
context.

[PATCH 14/17] dmaengine: idxd: complete an iaa_crypto descriptor through its own driver on abort and flush

[Daniel Byrne]

The teardown flush and the submit abort complete every descriptor as a
dmaengine transaction, whichever driver owns the queue. An iaa_crypto
queue is a kernel queue as well, and its interrupt-armed descriptors
carry the crypto request where a dmaengine descriptor has its txd, so
completing one of them as a transaction takes the request pointer for
a cookie and a DMA address for the channel, and either hits the cookie
BUG_ON() or stores through that address. A single iaa_crypto client
reaches this without a halt or a shared channel: in the teardown flush
after a drain that failed or after free_irq() lost a completion
interrupt, and in a guest on every failed interrupt-armed submission to
a shared queue that other guests keep full.

Complete such a descriptor through the completion of the driver that
owns the queue, as the interrupt thread does, and mark one the device
never finished as aborted first so that the driver fails its request.
The txd handling, the callback strip and the quarantine stay with
dmaengine queues. A failed submission of another driver's descriptor is
left entirely to its submitter, which learns of it from the return
value.

The teardown flush frees each descriptor it completes only when that
completion returns, and iaa_crypto's verify allocates from inside one.
A blocking allocation therefore fails at once on a queue whose
wq_active is dead with no revive to come, rather than wait for a slot
only the flush could free. Every submission there fails anyway.

dmaengine: idxd: complete an iaa_crypto descriptor through its own driver on abort and flush

This commit updates idxd_flush_pending_descs() and llist_abort_desc() to
complete or skip non-dmaengine descriptors via their own driver's completion
handler rather than treating them as dmaengine transactions, and avoids
blocking in idxd_alloc_desc() when a workqueue is permanently dying.

[Severity: Critical]
When an iaa_crypto workqueue with in-flight interrupt-armed requests is
disabled via iaa_crypto_remove() -> idxd_drv_disable_wq(), idxd_wq_free_irq()
calls idxd_flush_pending_descs() unconditionally even if idxd_wq_drain()
timed out:

drivers/dma/idxd/device.c:idxd_drv_disable_wq() {
	...
	idxd_wq_unmap_portal(wq);
	rc = idxd_wq_drain(wq);
	idxd_wq_free_irq(wq);
	rc |= idxd_wq_reset(wq);
	...
}

If idxd_wq_drain() returns -ETIMEDOUT (either because DRAIN_WQ timed out or
because an earlier command set IDXD_FLAG_CMD_TIMEDOUT), the hardware engine is
still active and processing unfinished descriptors when
idxd_flush_pending_descs() runs.

For an unfinished descriptor (ctype == IDXD_COMPLETE_ABORT), calling
idxd_desc_complete() invokes iaa_desc_complete():

drivers/crypto/intel/iaa/iaa_crypto_main.c:iaa_desc_complete() {
	...
err:
	dma_unmap_sg(dev, ctx->req->dst, sg_nents(ctx->req->dst), DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
	iaa_unmap_src(dev, ctx->req);
out:
	if (ret != 0)
		dev_dbg(dev, "asynchronous compress failed ret=%d\n", ret);

	if (ctx->req->base.complete)
		acomp_request_complete(ctx->req, err);

	if (free_desc)
		idxd_free_desc(idxd_desc->wq, idxd_desc);
	iaa_wq_put(idxd_desc->wq);
}

Doesn't completing an unfinished descriptor here while the device is still
active cause active DMA unmapping and use-after-free? Specifically:

1. iaa_desc_complete() unmaps ctx->req->dst and ctx->req->src (and via
iaa_unmap_src() unmaps req_ctx->bounce_src_dma and frees req_ctx->bounce_src
back to iaa_bounce_pool) while the hardware engine may still be DMA-reading
src1_addr and DMA-writing dst_addr.

2. acomp_request_complete() notifies the caller, which can free or reuse the
request and scatterlist buffers while hardware DMA is still in flight.

3. iaa_wq_put() drops the iaa_wq reference. During iaa_crypto_remove(),
iaa_wq->remove is set to true, so dropping the last reference calls
__free_iaa_wq() -> free_iaa_device() -> remove_device_compression_modes() ->
free_device_compression_mode(), freeing device_mode->aecs_comp_table via
dma_free_coherent() while an in-flight compression descriptor in hardware
still reads src2_addr (aecs_comp_table_dma_addr).

4. Because iaa_desc_complete() ignores comp_type and inspects
idxd_desc->iax_completion->status via check_completion(), can a concurrent
hardware completion write between setting desc->completion->status =
IDXD_COMP_DESC_ABORT and check_completion() overwrite IDXD_COMP_DESC_ABORT
with IAX_COMP_SUCCESS or IAA_ANALYTICS_ERROR, causing iaa_desc_complete() to
treat the aborted descriptor as succeeded or retryable during teardown?

[PATCH 15/17] dmaengine: idxd: flush the work queues on every halt type

[Daniel Byrne]

A device halt ends the engines, so nothing in flight completes and a
client waiting on one of those descriptors waits forever. Only the FLR
branch of idxd_halt() flushed the kernel work queues. The software-reset
branch only queued the reinit, which re-enables the queues with the dead
descriptors still on their lists and their slots held, and the
system-reset branch only quiesced the queues.

Flush on every halt type. The flush hands descriptors back, so no
submitter may still own one: a submitter that passed the state check
before the halt holds its descriptor on the pending list while ENQCMDS
retries, and aborts and frees it itself when the submit fails. Every
halt branch therefore kills wq_active and waits for the last submitter
before it flushes, and the abort now runs before the submitter drops
its reference, so the wait covers it. Each queue is handled in one hold
of wq_lock, from the state check through the revive. The software reset
revives the queues afterwards, but only what its own flush killed and
only a queue whose interrupt handle a failed revoke has not
invalidated. That revive comes before the reinit enables the device
again, so the submit checks the state again once it holds the reference
and fails with -EIO while the device is not enabled.

Every killer of wq_active runs under wq_lock and waits for the last
reference before it unlocks, so a reference found dying under the lock
is already dead and the kill is idempotent. A halt branch that does not
revive the queue leaves the reference dead, and the recovery's unbind
and a later halt skip the kill rather than drop the count below zero
and wait forever for a release that cannot come.

The software-reset branch flushes queues that its reinit enables again
without requesting new interrupt handles, which is safe only because
the flush no longer releases them since "dmaengine: idxd: keep the
interrupt handle across terminate_all".

dmaengine: idxd: flush the work queues on every halt type

This commit flushes kernel work queues on all device halt types (software
reset, FLR, and system reset) rather than only on FLR. Before flushing, it
kills wq_active and waits for in-flight submitters to finish, reviving the
reference afterwards on software reset.

[Severity: High]
Can reviving wq->wq_active in idxd_wqs_halt_flush() before
idxd_device_reinit() runs allow idxd_submit_desc() to post descriptors to a
work queue that is still disabled in hardware?

On a software-reset halt, idxd_halt() calls idxd_wqs_halt_flush(idxd, true),
which reinitializes wq->wq_active and completes wq->wq_resurrect, and then
queues idxd_device_reinit(). In idxd_submit_desc(), the second check only
verifies idxd->state != IDXD_DEV_ENABLED after acquiring wq->wq_active.

However, in idxd_device_reinit():

drivers/dma/idxd/irq.c:idxd_device_reinit() {
	...
	rc = idxd_device_enable(idxd);
	if (rc < 0)
		goto out;

	for (i = 0; i < idxd->max_wqs; i++) {
		if (test_bit(i, idxd->wq_enable_map)) {
			struct idxd_wq *wq = idxd->wqs[i];

			rc = idxd_wq_enable(wq);
			if (rc < 0) {
				clear_bit(i, idxd->wq_enable_map);
				dev_warn(dev, "Unable to re-enable wq %s\n",
					 dev_name(wq_confdev(wq)));
			}
		}
	}
}

idxd_device_enable() sets idxd->state = IDXD_DEV_ENABLED before the loop
calls idxd_wq_enable() on each work queue.

Once idxd->state is set to IDXD_DEV_ENABLED, won't submitters on a dedicated
work queue pass both checks in idxd_submit_desc(), add interrupt-armed
descriptors to ie->pending_llist, and call iosubmit_cmds512() before
idxd_wq_enable() has enabled that work queue in hardware, causing the device
to drop the descriptors and leaving waiting clients hung?

In addition, there appear to be two cases where the work queue is never
re-enabled in hardware even after idxd_device_reinit() finishes while
wq->wq_active remains live:

1. If idxd_wq_enable() fails in idxd_device_reinit(), it warns and clears
   wq_enable_map, leaving idxd->state == IDXD_DEV_ENABLED and wq->wq_active
   live on the disabled work queue.

2. If IDXD_FLAG_CONFIGURABLE is not set, idxd_device_reset() ->
   idxd_device_clear_state() does not clear wq->state, so idxd_wq_enable()
   sees wq->state == IDXD_WQ_ENABLED and returns 0 without issuing
   IDXD_CMD_ENABLE_WQ:

drivers/dma/idxd/device.c:idxd_wq_enable() {
	...
	if (wq->state == IDXD_WQ_ENABLED) {
		dev_dbg(dev, "WQ %d already enabled\n", wq->id);
		return 0;
	}

	idxd_cmd_exec(idxd, IDXD_CMD_ENABLE_WQ, wq->id, &status);
	...
}

[PATCH 16/17] dmaengine: idxd: keep client callbacks on a halt flush and cancel resubmissions after a terminate

[Daniel Byrne]

idxd_flush_pending_descs() strips every callback unconditionally. That
is right when a work queue is torn down with nobody left to call, since
the callback may point into an unloaded module, and wrong when the
device halts with a client still holding the channel: the client then
waits on descriptors that were quietly completed without it.

Take the choice as a parameter. Teardown paths and a client's own
terminate_all keep stripping; the halt flush keeps the callbacks when
the channel has a client. That flush runs under wq_lock, and a callback
may terminate the channel, which takes that lock, so the flush does not
run the callbacks itself: it marks every descriptor the halted device
never finished as aborted, leaves it on the work list with the finished
ones, and wakes the queue's interrupt thread, which completes them
without the lock. The client sees DMA_TRANS_WRITE_FAILED for a
descriptor the halt killed, as for every abort the driver marks.

llist_abort_desc() has the mirror problem. A failed submission is
reported to the client by idxd_submit_desc()'s return value and the
client frees the descriptor, so a callback on top of that completes it
twice. The driver's own interrupt-handle resubmission has no return
path to the client at all, and there the abort must go through the
callback. Split the submit helper: idxd_submit_desc() keeps the
caller-cleans-up contract and strips the callbacks of a found
descriptor, and the new idxd_resubmit_desc() is what the resubmit
worker uses so that a failure there still reaches the client.

Since "dmaengine: idxd: keep the interrupt handle across terminate_all"
such a resubmission really runs, and a terminate_sync() no longer
covers it. A flush that strips the callbacks therefore completes a
descriptor that reports a revoked handle as aborted instead of
resubmitting it. A descriptor submitted before a terminate can still
reach the resubmit work after the flush, from a work item queued
earlier or from the interrupt thread. terminate_all bumps a per-queue
generation under wq_lock before its kill, an interrupt-armed client
submission stamps it into the descriptor, and a resubmission whose
stamp is older is cancelled once it holds wq_active and completed
without its callback.

dmaengine: idxd: keep client callbacks on a halt flush and cancel resubmissions after a terminate

This commit updates idxd_flush_pending_descs() and llist_abort_desc() to
preserve client callbacks during device halt flushes and internal
interrupt-handle resubmissions while stripping them on teardown and
client-initiated terminations. It also introduces a per-queue
terminate_gen counter to cancel pending interrupt-handle resubmissions
across dmaengine_terminate_all().

[Severity: High]
Can this deferred completion path still invoke client callbacks after
dmaengine_terminate_all() or dmaengine_terminate_sync() has returned?

When idxd_wq_thread() runs irq_process_work_list(), it moves every
descriptor with a non-zero status from ie->work_list onto its stack-local
flist before dropping ie->list_lock:

drivers/dma/idxd/irq.c:irq_process_work_list() {
	list_for_each_entry_safe(desc, n, &irq_entry->work_list, list) {
		if (desc->completion->status) {
			list_move_tail(&desc->list, &flist);
		}
	}

	spin_unlock(&irq_entry->list_lock);

	list_for_each_entry_safe(desc, n, &flist, list) {
		list_del(&desc->list);

		if (unlikely(desc->completion->status == IDXD_COMP_DESC_ABORT)) {
			idxd_desc_complete(desc, IDXD_COMPLETE_ABORT, true);
			continue;
		}

		idxd_desc_complete(desc, IDXD_COMPLETE_NORMAL, true);
	}
}

If the first descriptor's callback calls dmaengine_terminate_async() ->
idxd_dma_terminate_all() (or another CPU calls dmaengine_terminate_all()
concurrently), idxd_flush_pending_descs() sees ie->pending_llist and
ie->work_list already empty because the remaining descriptors are on
irq_process_work_list()'s local flist. Since neither irq_process_work_list()
nor idxd_dma_complete_txd() checks wq->terminate_gen, irq_process_work_list()
continues iterating flist and invokes the remaining callbacks after
dmaengine_terminate_all() has returned.

In addition, on a system-reset halt or during idxd_device_reinit() ->
idxd_device_reset(), idxd_device_clear_state() ->
idxd_device_wqs_clear_state() -> idxd_wq_disable_cleanup() sets
wq->state = IDXD_WQ_DISABLED right after idxd_wqs_halt_flush() returns. If
the client then calls dmaengine_terminate_all(), __idxd_wq_flush_descs()
returns early without flushing ie->work_list or stripping callbacks:

drivers/dma/idxd/device.c:__idxd_wq_flush_descs() {
	if (wq->state != IDXD_WQ_ENABLED || wq->type != IDXD_WQT_KERNEL)
		return;
}

And idxd_dma_synchronize() does not synchronize with ie->vector (and
idxd_wq_drain() also returns immediately when wq->state != IDXD_WQ_ENABLED),
allowing dmaengine_terminate_sync() to return while idxd_wq_thread() is
still running callbacks.

[Severity: Critical]
Also in this loop, what happens if a descriptor on ie->work_list (or moved
from ie->pending_llist) finished just before the halt with
desc->completion->status == DSA_COMP_INT_HANDLE_INVAL?

Because desc->completion->status is already non-zero, the loop leaves it as
DSA_COMP_INT_HANDLE_INVAL. When idxd_wq_thread() -> irq_process_work_list()
processes the descriptor, it sees status != IDXD_COMP_DESC_ABORT and calls
idxd_desc_complete(desc, IDXD_COMPLETE_NORMAL, true) ->
idxd_dma_complete_txd(), which queues idxd_int_handle_resubmit_work() on
idxd->wq instead of aborting the descriptor:

drivers/dma/idxd/dma.c:idxd_dma_complete_txd() {
	} else if (desc->completion->status) {
		if (idxd->request_int_handles && comp_type != IDXD_COMPLETE_ABORT &&
		    desc->completion->status == DSA_COMP_INT_HANDLE_INVAL &&
		    idxd_queue_int_handle_resubmit(desc))
			return;
}

On an FLR halt, idxd_device_flr runs on idxd->wq, unbinds the queue driver
via idxd_dmaengine_drv_remove(), and frees wq->descs, wq->compls,
wq->idxd_chan, and wq->sbq while idxd_int_handle_resubmit_work() is still
queued. Should a descriptor with status == DSA_COMP_INT_HANDLE_INVAL also
be overwritten with IDXD_COMP_DESC_ABORT here, matching the non-callback
path below?

[Severity: High]
Since WRITE_ONCE(wq->terminate_gen, wq->terminate_gen + 1) runs before
__idxd_wq_flush_descs() calls idxd_wq_kill(wq), can an in-flight
idxd_submit_desc() stamp the new post-terminate generation onto a
pre-terminate descriptor?

If a concurrent client submission in __idxd_submit_desc() has already
acquired wq->wq_active via percpu_ref_tryget_live(&wq->wq_active) before
idxd_wq_kill(wq) calls percpu_ref_kill(), it can reach:

drivers/dma/idxd/submit.c:__idxd_submit_desc() {
	if (desc_flags & IDXD_OP_FLAG_RCI) {
		ie = &wq->ie;
		desc->hw->int_handle = ie->int_handle;
		if (submitter_cleans)
			desc->terminate_gen = READ_ONCE(wq->terminate_gen);
		llist_add(&desc->llnode, &ie->pending_llist);
	}
}

while idxd_wq_kill(wq) is waiting in wait_for_completion(&wq->wq_dead).
That pre-terminate submission then stamps desc->terminate_gen with the
already-incremented wq->terminate_gen. If the descriptor completes with
DSA_COMP_INT_HANDLE_INVAL and idxd_wq_thread() pops it from
ie->pending_llist and queues idxd_int_handle_resubmit_work() before
idxd_flush_pending_descs() takes ie->list_lock, the resubmission will see
desc->terminate_gen == READ_ONCE(wq->terminate_gen) and will not be
cancelled.

[Severity: Critical]
When resurrect is false (on an FLR halt), does leaving descriptors on
ie->work_list for idxd_wq_thread() race with idxd_dmaengine_drv_remove()?

After idxd_wqs_halt_flush(idxd, false) wakes idxd_wq_thread() and releases
wq->wq_lock, idxd_halt() queues idxd_device_flr, which calls
pci_reset_function() -> idxd_reset_done() -> idxd_unbind() ->
idxd_device_drv_remove() -> idxd_dmaengine_drv_remove() (this path can also
run if the driver is unbound via sysfs after a halt):

drivers/dma/idxd/dma.c:idxd_dmaengine_drv_remove() {
	mutex_lock(&wq->wq_lock);
	__idxd_wq_quiesce(wq);
	idxd_unregister_dma_channel(wq);
	idxd_drv_disable_wq(wq);
	mutex_unlock(&wq->wq_lock);
}

idxd_unregister_dma_channel(wq) kfrees wq->idxd_chan before
idxd_drv_disable_wq(wq) -> idxd_wq_free_irq(wq) calls free_irq(ie->vector,
ie) and idxd_flush_pending_descs(ie, false, false).

Can this cause two regressions during teardown:

1. When idxd_wq_thread() or idxd_wq_free_irq() -> idxd_flush_pending_descs()
completes those descriptors via idxd_dma_complete_txd(),
dma_cookie_complete(&desc->txd) writes tx->chan->completed_cookie into the
already-freed wq->idxd_chan?

2. While idxd_dmaengine_drv_remove() holds wq->wq_lock and blocks in
idxd_wq_free_irq() -> free_irq(ie->vector, ie) waiting for idxd_wq_thread()
to finish, if a callback running in idxd_wq_thread() calls
dmaengine_terminate_all() -> idxd_dma_terminate_all(), will it deadlock
trying to acquire wq->wq_lock?

[Severity: Critical]
Because idxd_int_handle_resubmit_work() runs on idxd->wq without holding
wq->wq_active or wq->wq_lock once idxd_resubmit_desc() returns rc < 0, and
neither idxd_dma_synchronize() nor idxd_dmaengine_drv_remove() ->
idxd_drv_disable_wq() flushes idxd->wq, can this failure path race with
channel termination and workqueue teardown?

1. If idxd_resubmit_desc() fails with -EAGAIN, -EIO, or -ENXIO just before
the client calls dmaengine_terminate_sync(), idxd_int_handle_resubmit_work()
can read wq->terminate_gen before idxd_dma_terminate_all() increments it,
and then invoke desc->txd.callback in idxd_desc_complete() after
dmaengine_terminate_sync() has already returned to the client.

2. Even when desc->terminate_gen != READ_ONCE(wq->terminate_gen) is true,
idxd_desc_complete(desc, IDXD_COMPLETE_ABORT, false) ->
idxd_dma_complete_txd() runs asynchronously after dmaengine_terminate_sync()
has returned:

drivers/dma/idxd/dma.c:idxd_dma_complete_txd() {
	tx = &desc->txd;
	if (complete && tx->cookie) {
		dma_cookie_complete(tx);
		dma_descriptor_unmap(tx);
		dmaengine_desc_get_callback_invoke(tx, &res);
		tx->callback = NULL;
		tx->callback_result = NULL;
	}
}

Doesn't this call dma_descriptor_unmap(tx) after dmaengine_synchronize() has
already returned, and write tx->chan->completed_cookie = tx->cookie in
dma_cookie_complete(tx) where it can overwrite chan->completed_cookie
backwards if the client has already submitted and completed newer
descriptors after terminate_sync()?

3. If the workqueue is unbound or disabled via idxd_dmaengine_drv_remove()
-> idxd_drv_disable_wq() while idxd_int_handle_resubmit_work() is still
pending on idxd->wq, idxd_unregister_dma_channel() frees wq->idxd_chan and
idxd_wq_free_resources() frees wq->descs, wq->compls, and wq->sbq before
idxd_int_handle_resubmit_work() accesses desc and calls idxd_free_desc(wq,
desc).

[PATCH 17/17] dmaengine: idxd: run the interrupt-handle revoke under the queue lock

[Daniel Byrne]

The interrupt-handle revoke worker requests each new handle without
wq_lock, so that a reset can end the request, and the queue may be
unbound while it waits. It reads the queue's state without the lock,
submits the drain after unlocking, and on a failed request quiesces the
queue and completes the descriptors that carry the revoked handle
outside the lock, so an unbind can unmap the portal under the drain, or
free the descriptors, the allocator and the driver under the
completions.

The unbind invalidates the handle in the same wq_lock hold that tears
the queue down, so after the request the worker takes wq_lock and goes
on only if the handle is still valid. The handle swap and the drain, or
the quiesce and the completions after a failed request, then run in
that hold. A queue a halt already killed and did not revive is left
dead rather than revived behind the halt.

dmaengine: idxd: run the interrupt-handle revoke under the queue lock

This commit acquires wq_lock in idxd_int_handle_revoke() after requesting a
new interrupt handle so that handle updates, drains, or failure quiesce and
descriptor aborts serialize against workqueue unbind and halt.

[Severity: Medium]
Can this leak new_handle or race with a concurrent unbind and rebind while
wq->wq_lock is not held during idxd_device_request_int_handle()?

First, if idxd_device_request_int_handle() succeeds (rc == 0) while a
concurrent unbind runs idxd_drv_disable_wq() -> idxd_wq_free_irq():

drivers/dma/idxd/device.c:idxd_wq_free_irq() {
	if (idxd->request_int_handles)
		idxd_device_release_int_handle(idxd, ie->int_handle, IDXD_IRQ_MSIX);
	idxd_device_clear_perm_entry(idxd, ie);
	ie->vector = -1;
	ie->int_handle = INVALID_INT_HANDLE;
	ie->pasid = IOMMU_PASID_INVALID;
}

idxd_wq_free_irq() only releases the old ie->int_handle and sets
ie->int_handle = INVALID_INT_HANDLE. When idxd_int_handle_revoke() then
acquires wq->wq_lock and sees ie->int_handle == INVALID_INT_HANDLE, it hits
continue without calling idxd_device_release_int_handle() on new_handle.

Second, if the queue is unbound and then rebound via idxd_drv_enable_wq() ->
idxd_wq_request_irq() before idxd_int_handle_revoke() acquires wq->wq_lock:

drivers/dma/idxd/device.c:idxd_wq_request_irq() {
	if (idxd->request_int_handles) {
		rc = idxd_device_request_int_handle(idxd, ie->id, &ie->int_handle,
						    IDXD_IRQ_MSIX);
		if (rc < 0)
			goto err_int_handle;
	} else {
		ie->int_handle = ie->id;
	}
}

ie->int_handle is populated with a new valid handle for the rebound queue.
When idxd_int_handle_revoke() acquires wq->wq_lock, ie->int_handle is no
longer INVALID_INT_HANDLE, so it treats the newly rebound queue as the old
binding: if the earlier idxd_device_request_int_handle() failed (for example,
while the permission entry was cleared during the unbind), it overwrites the
new ie->int_handle with INVALID_INT_HANDLE and quiesces the rebound queue; if
it succeeded before the rebind, it overwrites the rebound queue's
ie->int_handle with the stale new_handle.

[Severity: High]
Can calling idxd_abort_invalid_int_handle_descs() while holding wq->wq_lock
deadlock on wq->wq_lock?

idxd_abort_invalid_int_handle_descs() completes descriptors synchronously:

idxd_int_handle_revoke()
  guard(mutex)(&wq->wq_lock)
  idxd_abort_invalid_int_handle_descs(ie)
    idxd_desc_complete(d, IDXD_COMPLETE_ABORT, true)
      idxd_dma_complete_txd(d, IDXD_COMPLETE_ABORT, true, NULL, NULL)
        dmaengine_desc_get_callback_invoke(tx, &res)

For a dmaengine workqueue, the client completion callback is invoked
synchronously under wq->wq_lock. As noted in idxd_flush_pending_descs() in
drivers/dma/idxd/device.c:

	/*
	 * A halt flush that delivers the callbacks of a dmaengine queue
	 * leaves its descriptors to the interrupt thread, which runs them
	 * without wq_lock, as it runs every completion. A callback may
	 * terminate the channel, which takes that lock, and the halt flush
	 * holds it. The halted device writes no record any more, so one it
	 * never finished is marked aborted for the thread to complete.
	 */

If the client callback terminates the channel on error via
dmaengine_terminate_async() or dmaengine_terminate_all(), it enters
idxd_dma_terminate_all():

drivers/dma/idxd/dma.c:idxd_dma_terminate_all() {
	struct idxd_wq *wq = to_idxd_wq(c);

	guard(mutex)(&wq->wq_lock);
	...
}

Wouldn't that immediately self-deadlock on wq->wq_lock?

[Severity: High]
When idxd_wq_kill(wq) returns false because a halt or teardown quiesce
already killed wq->wq_active, is it safe to still update ie->int_handle and
call idxd_int_handle_revoke_drain(ie)?

In idxd_halt() in drivers/dma/idxd/irq.c:

		if (halt_flr(err)) {
			idxd->state = IDXD_DEV_HALTED;
			...
			idxd_wqs_halt_flush(idxd, false);
			for (i = 0; i < idxd->max_wqs; i++) {
				struct idxd_wq *wq = idxd->wqs[i];

				if (wq->type == IDXD_WQT_KERNEL)
					WRITE_ONCE(wq->ie.int_handle, INVALID_INT_HANDLE);
			}
			...
		} else {
			idxd->state = IDXD_DEV_HALTED;
			/* Same as above: nothing in flight will ever complete. */
			idxd_wqs_halt_flush(idxd, false);
			idxd_wqs_unmap_portal(idxd);
			idxd_device_clear_state(idxd);

In the system-reset branch, idxd_wqs_halt_flush() kills wq->wq_active under
wq->wq_lock and unlocks, while wq->state is still IDXD_WQ_ENABLED and
ie->int_handle is not invalidated. Next, idxd_wqs_unmap_portal() unmaps
wq->portal and sets wq->portal = NULL without holding wq->wq_lock before
idxd_device_clear_state() clears wq->state under wq->wq_lock (and on
non-configurable devices without IDXD_FLAG_CONFIGURABLE,
idxd_device_clear_state() does not clear wq->state at all).

If idxd_int_handle_revoke() acquires wq->wq_lock after idxd_wqs_halt_flush(),
idxd_wq_kill(wq) returns false, but idxd_int_handle_revoke() proceeds to
idxd_int_handle_revoke_drain(ie):

drivers/dma/idxd/irq.c:idxd_int_handle_revoke_drain() {
	...
	portal = idxd_wq_portal_addr(wq);
	...
	wmb();
	if (wq_dedicated(wq)) {
		iosubmit_cmds512(portal, &desc, 1);
	} else {
		rc = idxd_enqcmds(wq, portal, &desc);

which dereferences wq->portal while it is NULL or being unmapped.

Similarly, in the FLR branch of idxd_halt(), wq->ie.int_handle is set to
INVALID_INT_HANDLE outside wq->wq_lock after idxd_wqs_halt_flush(). If
idxd_int_handle_revoke() acquires wq->wq_lock after idxd_wqs_halt_flush()
before that write, or if iaa_crypto_remove() has called idxd_wq_quiesce(wq)
prior to disabling the queue, idxd_wq_kill(wq) returns false, yet
idxd_int_handle_revoke() still writes ie->int_handle = new_handle and submits
a hardware drain descriptor to the halted or quiesced queue.

Should idxd_int_handle_revoke() avoid updating ie->int_handle and issuing the
drain when killed is false (or when the device is halted)?
