Yes, that's correct.

Do you see a bug? I don't follow you...

No. IOMMU drivers already disallow all PCI addresses from being used as
IOVA addresses. See, for example, dmar_init_reserved_ranges(). It would
be a huge problem for a whole lot of other reasons if it didn't.

Yes, that would be ideal, but there's some difficulties there. For the
driver to check the pages, it would need to loop through the entire SG
one more time on every transaction, regardless of whether there are
P2PDMA pages, or not. So that will have a performance impact even when
the feature isn't being used. I don't think that'll be acceptable for
many drivers.

The other possibility is for GUP to do it when it gets the pages from
userspace. But GUP doesn't have all the information to do this at the
moment. We'd have to pass the struct device that will eventually map the
pages through all the nested functions in the GUP to do that test at
that time. This might not be a bad option (that I half looked into), but
I'm not sure how acceptable it would be to the GUP developers.

But even if we do verify the pages ahead of time, we still need the same
infrastructure in dma_map_sg(); it could only now be a BUG if the driver
sent invalid pages instead of an error return.

We're not passing zero length segments to iommu_map_sg() (or any
function). This loop is just scanning to calculate the length of the
required IOVA. __finalise_sg() (which is intimately tied to this loop)
then needs a way to determine which segments were P2P segments. The
existing code already overwrites s->length with an aligned length and
stores the original length in sg_dma_len. So we're not relying on
tricking any logic here.

Yes, that's a good idea.

Thanks for the review!
