Subject: [PATCH] vfio/cdx: reject non-shared MMIO mmaps
Date: Sun,  6 Sep 2026 15:32:45 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260906123245.10884-1-suruurism@gmail.com> (raw)

vfio_cdx_mmap() accepts MAP_PRIVATE mappings.  A non-shared mapping
with VM_MAYWRITE is a COW mapping, and remap_pfn_range()'s COW special
case in get_remap_pgoff() then overwrites vma->vm_pgoff with the
physical frame number:

	if (is_cow) {
		if (addr != vm_start || end != vm_end)
			return -EINVAL;
		*vm_pgoff_p = pfn;
	}

The VMA is inserted into the device file's mapping->i_mmap interval
tree keyed by vm_pgoff, which VFIO expects to be the logical file
offset: the core links every device mmap to the device inode's
i_mapping precisely so that unmap_mapping_range() can revoke all
mappings associated with a device (see vfio_device_cdev_open()).

A raw PFN in vm_pgoff lands the interval tree entry in the wrong
coordinate space, so unmap_mapping_range() cannot find the VMA and a
stale MMIO mapping survives any revocation attempt.  Without this
check, a MAP_PRIVATE mapping reintroduces that corruption even with
the logical-vm_pgoff fix in place.

Require VM_SHARED as vfio-pci, vfio/fsl-mc and vfio/platform already
do.
