[PATCH 0/2] irqchip/gic-v3-its: LPI tables fixes

[Andre Przywara]

By staring at the code (while writing the ITS driver for Xen) I
stumbled upon two minor things that deserve fixing:
Patch 1 checks whether LPIs are really disabled before setting up the
tables, as the architecture actually disallows clearing the LPI enable
bit. We try this anyway, but bail out if this fails.
Patch 2 makes sure we don't miss when the redistributors denies our
cacheable mapping request.

Please have a look and apply if that makes sense.

Cheers,
Andre.

[PATCH 1/2] irqchip/gic-v3-its: bail out on already enabled LPIs

[Andre Przywara]

The GICv3 spec says that once LPIs have been enabled, they can't be
disabled anymore:
"When a write changes this bit from 0 to 1, this bit becomes RES1 ..."
As we can't setup the pending and property table registers when LPIs are
enabled, we have to bail out here in this case.
But first try to disable LPIs anyway, to check whether this actually works.
If not, return an error.

Spec says we are not supposed to disable once it is enabled, why code is trying to disable? Why can't we check the enable bit without a write operation?

This is not enough, you have to skip all the disabled collections inside the function its_set_affinity() when mapping an event to collection. Otherwise all LPIs might mapped to collection 0, causes the possibility of memory corruption by GICR hardware on updating incorrect PENDING table.

I believe better fix would be disable ITS on this condition.

The reasoning here is that some implementation could support having
their LPI disabled (hint: a software implementation like the one we have
in KVM). As much as I'm willing to follow the architecture, I see little
value in not supporting something that trivial. But maybe we could quirk
it and not do that in the general case. Andre, what do you think?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here.

But in any case, memory corruption may already have happened, and you
have no idea where. In general, finding LPIs being already enabled is
terminally unsafe unless we can key it on a particular implementation.

> I believe better fix would be disable ITS on this condition.

This is certainly an additional fix so that we don't generate additional
traffic, and it would make sure that we don't lure PCI drivers into
using MSIs.

Thanks,

Don't initialize a collection in case of errors is the right approach but rest of the ITS driver should not be accessing the disabled collection. It would be better to keep some kind of validation check inside function its_set_affinity().

static int its_set_affinity(struct irq_data *d, const struct cpumask *mask_val,
                bool force)
{
...

    target_col = &its_dev->its->collections[cpu];
    its_send_movi(its_dev, target_col, id);
    its_dev->event_map.col_map[id] = cpu;

    return IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_DONE;
}

Yes, because we are not disabling the ITS hardware in the first kernel. Better approach would be disable ITS hardware during the kernel shutdown path, but not during driver probe time. This way we can guarantee no memory corruption happens in the second (KEXEC0ed) kernel.

I think the big picture is to disable the ITS *and* not present it as an
MSI controller to the rest of the system. We should not even get here if
we find that we're in an unsafe situation. This may require significant
changes to the way we initialize the ITS.

Again, that's a different thing altogether. I've long been toying with
the idea of having a .reset irqchip operation which could be called as
we're about to kexec another payload. This would nicely replace the
hacks we currently have to try and shut off interrupts. I'll try to cook
something.

Thanks,

[PATCH 2/2] irqchip/gic-v3-its: always check for cacheability attributes

[Andre Przywara]

Currently we only enable cache flushing if the redistributor denied
our shareability attribute, because we turn off cacheability in this
case.
But if it would just turn down our cacheability request, we would miss
setting the flag.

Re-check the cacheability attribute as reported back by the
redistributor to make sure we flush properly if needed.
