Subject: [PATCH rc v1 0/4] iommufd: Fix veventq_depth boundary
Date: Sun, 17 May 2026 19:28:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1779070992.git.nicolinc@nvidia.com> (raw)
The upper bound of veventq_depth has been missing for veventq allocation,
leaving a vulnerability where userspace could exhaust atomic memory pool.
Fix it properly:
- Allocate outside the spinlock to avoid GFP_ATOMIC
- Cap the veventq_depth upper bound
- Fix event_data byte-count
- Add selftest coverage
Note that QEMU's SMMU has been already allocating veventq using a "HW"
EVTQ entry number. So, picking 19 as the known use case, for a minimal
level of ABI consistency.
