Subject: [PATCH v1 0/4] iommufd: Cache invalidation hardening and SMMUv3 batching rework
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 14:26:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1780521606.git.nicolinc@nvidia.com> (raw)
Sashiko pointed out several issues in the iommufd invalidation path, which
also prompted a rework of the ARM SMMUv3 vIOMMU invalidation handler:
- entry_len is user-controlled and unbounded, so the trailing-zero check
for its forward-compat fields can scan gigabytes of user memory without
yielding, long enough to trip the soft-lockup watchdog.
- A large entry_num drives a backend's per-entry invalidation loop with no
reschedule, e.g. the VT-d nested path, pinning the CPU.
- The full-array copy helper copies the array twice on the equal-size fast
path: once in bulk, then again entry by entry.
- arm_vsmmu_cache_invalidate() reports converted-but-unsubmitted commands
as handled on its error paths.
- It sizes a single kernel allocation from the user-controlled entry_num.
- It rejects an empty-array data_type probe that the uAPI allows.
Fix them properly.
