[PATCH v3 09/18] PCI: portdrv: Suppress kernel DMA ownership auto-claiming

[Lu Baolu <baolu.lu@linux.intel.com>]

IOMMU grouping on PCI necessitates that if we lack isolation on a bridge
then all of the downstream devices will be part of the same IOMMU group
as the bridge. The existing vfio framework allows the portdrv driver to
be bound to the bridge while its downstream devices are assigned to user
space. The pci_dma_configure() marks the iommu_group as containing only
devices with kernel drivers that manage DMA. Avoid this default behavior
for the portdrv driver in order for compatibility with the current vfio
policy.

The commit 5f096b14d421b ("vfio: Whitelist PCI bridges") extended above
policy to all kernel drivers of bridge class. This is not always safe.
For example, The shpchp_core driver relies on the PCI MMIO access for the
controller functionality. With its downstream devices assigned to the
userspace, the MMIO might be changed through user initiated P2P accesses
without any notification. This might break the kernel driver integrity
and lead to some unpredictable consequences.

For any bridge driver, in order to avoiding default kernel DMA ownership
claiming, we should consider:

 1) Does the bridge driver use DMA? Calling pci_set_master() or
    a dma_map_* API is a sure indicate the driver is doing DMA

 2) If the bridge driver uses MMIO, is it tolerant to hostile
    userspace also touching the same MMIO registers via P2P DMA
    attacks?

Conservatively if the driver maps an MMIO region at all, we can say that
it fails the test.
