[PATCH] PCI/P2PDMA: Avoid returning a provider for non_mappable_bars

[PATCH] PCI/P2PDMA: Avoid returning a provider for non_mappable_bars

[Matt Evans]

Extend pcim_p2pdma_provider()'s checks to exclude functions that have
pdev->non_mappable_bars set.

Consumers such as VFIO were previously able to map these for access by
the CPU or P2P.  Update the comment on non_mappable_bars to show it
refers to any access, not just userspace CPU access.

Fixes: 372d6d1b8ae3c ("PCI/P2PDMA: Refactor to separate core P2P functionality from memory allocation")
Signed-off-by: Matt Evans <mattev@meta.com>
---

This arises from Alex Williamson's suggestion to test
non_mappable_bars when getting the provider, with discussion here:

 https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260415181623.1021090-1-mattev@meta.com/

The goal was to prevent a hole where VFIO could export DMABUFs for
BARs marked non-mappable, and to fix for all users of the provider
rather than just VFIO.  Alex observed that non_mappable_bars should be
taken to mean BARs weren't usable by the CPU _or_ peers and,
considering that, its comment about userspace access wasn't quite
right.

I don't object to the patch, but this Fixes line doesn't look correct.
non_mappable_bars applies only to s390, which doesn't support p2p. That
wasn't prevented before 372d6d1b8ae3c refactoring too.

Thanks

Sorry for the late reply. For s390's ISM device this definitely makes
sense. The BAR can indeed not be accessed by P2P and extending this
seems reasonable to me.

Thanks; I'd chosen that commit as it adds the function that the 
additional test is being added to.

As an example consumer, vfio_pci_core_get_dmabuf_phys() added in 
5d74781ebc86 ("vfio/pci: Add dma-buf export support for MMIO regions") 
could do an export when it shouldn't.  (And with my other mmap series, a 
CPU could then access it, not even P2P.)  I suppose this patch could 
point to 5d74781ebc86 instead (which allows the naughty DMABUF export), 
but I couldn't prove VFIO DMABUF export was the only thing using 
pcim_p2pdma_provider() added in 372d6d1b8ae3c (especially as that 
symbol's exported).

It still seems most watertight to treat this as a fix for anything 
containing 372d6d1b8ae3c, but if you feel it's not right what would be a 
better one?

Also, in the other thread (linked above) Alex made the point that whilst 
_today_ non_mappable_bars is only set by one s390 device, he expects 
future quirks or reasons to exclude mappings would also use 
non_mappable_bars so we shouldn't consider it a s390-specific thing.


Cheers,


Matt

Should pcim_p2pdma_init() separately test pdev->non_mappable_bars
before the rcu-deref/kzalloc of the pci_p2pdma object and return
-EOPNOTSUPP?

That then invokes the same error paths we'd see if we simply don't have
p2pdma in the kernel and handles the pci_p2pdma_add_resource() path
automatically as well.

This pcim_p2pdma_provider() test is really then just suppressing the
WARN_ON that we'd otherwise see by not finding the p2p object on the
device.  Thanks,

Alex

Can I suggest slightly different solution?
If CONFIG_..._S390 is set, we will unset CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA and pcim_p2pdma_provider()
will be compiled to return NULL, without changing non_mappable_bars
description.

Thanks
