vfio/pci: Change the DMA-buf exporter to use mapping_type

This commit converts the VFIO PCI DMA-buf exporter to implement a
match_mapping() callback offering an SGT P2P mapping type and replaces the
attachment->peer2peer check in vfio_pci_dma_buf_attach(). It also holds a
pci_dev reference in struct vfio_pci_dma_buf for the lifetime of the
dma-buf to pass to DMA_BUF_EMAPPING_SGT_P2P().

[Severity: High]
Does offering only DMA_BUF_EMAPPING_SGT_P2P() here break iommufd mapping of
VFIO PCI dma-bufs via iopt_map_dmabuf()?

When userspace maps a VFIO PCI dma-buf through iommufd, iopt_map_dmabuf()
in drivers/iommu/iommufd/pages.c attaches using iommufd_global_device()
before calling sym_vfio_pci_dma_buf_iommufd_map():

drivers/iommu/iommufd/pages.c:iopt_map_dmabuf()
	attach = dma_buf_dynamic_attach(dmabuf, iommufd_global_device(),
					&iopt_dmabuf_attach_revoke_ops, pages);
	if (IS_ERR(attach))
		return PTR_ERR(attach);
	...
	rc = sym_vfio_pci_dma_buf_iommufd_map(attach, &pages->dmabuf.phys);

where iommufd_global_device() in drivers/iommu/iommufd/main.c returns
iommu_misc_dev.this_device, a miscdevice with no parent pci_dev.

With DMA_BUF_EMAPPING_SGT_P2P(), dma_buf_dynamic_attach() runs:

  dma_buf_mapping_attach()
    -> vfio_pci_dma_buf_match_mapping()
      -> dma_buf_match_mapping()
        -> dma_buf_sgt_match()
          -> pci_p2pdma_distance(priv->pdev, iommufd_global_device(), true)
            -> pci_p2pdma_distance_many()

In drivers/pci/p2pdma.c:pci_p2pdma_distance_many(), find_parent_pci_dev()
returns NULL for iommufd_global_device():

	for (i = 0; i < num_clients; i++) {
		pci_client = find_parent_pci_dev(clients[i]);
		if (!pci_client) {
			if (verbose)
				dev_warn(clients[i],
					 "cannot be used for peer-to-peer DMA as it is not a PCI device\n");
			return -1;
		}

This emits a dev_warn() and returns -1, causing dma_buf_sgt_match() to
return -EOPNOTSUPP and dma_buf_match_mapping() to fail with -EINVAL before
sym_vfio_pci_dma_buf_iommufd_map() can be reached.

[Severity: High]
Can passing priv->pdev to DMA_BUF_EMAPPING_SGT_P2P() in
vfio_pci_dma_buf_match_mapping() race with driver unbind and trigger a
use-after-free on pdev->p2pdma?

When the VFIO device is closed while the exported dma-buf fd remains open,
vfio_pci_dma_buf_cleanup() revokes the dma-buf and drops the vfio_device
registration reference:

drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_dmabuf.c:vfio_pci_dma_buf_cleanup()
	list_for_each_entry_safe(priv, tmp, &vdev->dmabufs, dmabufs_elm) {
		if (!get_file_active(&priv->dmabuf->file))
			continue;

		list_del_init(&priv->dmabufs_elm);
		priv->vdev = NULL;
		vfio_device_put_registration(&vdev->vdev);
		fput(priv->dmabuf->file);
	}

Once vfio_device_put_registration() drops that reference, nothing pins the
driver binding on priv->pdev (pci_dev_get() only pins struct pci_dev, not
devres). Unbinding vfio-pci runs devres_release_all(), which invokes
pci_p2pdma_release() and frees the devm_kzalloc()-allocated struct
pci_p2pdma:

drivers/pci/p2pdma.c:pci_p2pdma_release()
	/* Flush and disable pci_alloc_p2p_mem() */
	pdev->p2pdma = NULL;
	if (p2pdma->pool)
		synchronize_rcu();
	xa_destroy(&p2pdma->map_types);

Because vfio_pci_core_init_dev() only calls pcim_p2pdma_init() and never
allocates p2pdma->pool via pci_p2pdma_add_resource(), p2pdma->pool is NULL.
As a result, pci_p2pdma_release() skips synchronize_rcu(), immediately
calls xa_destroy(&p2pdma->map_types), and devres frees p2pdma.

Concurrently, if an importer attaches to the open dma-buf fd,
dma_buf_mapping_attach() calls vfio_pci_dma_buf_match_mapping() before
vfio_pci_dma_buf_attach() checks priv->revoked:

  dma_buf_mapping_attach()
    -> vfio_pci_dma_buf_match_mapping()
      -> dma_buf_match_mapping()
        -> dma_buf_sgt_match()
          -> pci_p2pdma_distance()
            -> pci_p2pdma_distance_many()
              -> calc_map_type_and_dist()

In drivers/pci/p2pdma.c:calc_map_type_and_dist():

	rcu_read_lock();
	p2pdma = rcu_dereference(provider->p2pdma);
	if (p2pdma)
		xa_store(&p2pdma->map_types, map_types_idx(client),
			 xa_mk_value(map_type), GFP_ATOMIC);
	rcu_read_unlock();

Without synchronize_rcu() in pci_p2pdma_release(), calc_map_type_and_dist()
can load a non-NULL p2pdma pointer just before pdev->p2pdma is cleared and
call xa_store(&p2pdma->map_types, ...) concurrently with xa_destroy() and
after p2pdma has been freed by devres.
