[PATCH v8 01/10] s390/vfio_ccw: free all memory if cp_init() fails

[PATCH v8 01/10] s390/vfio_ccw: free all memory if cp_init() fails

[Eric Farman]

The routine cp_free() is called to unpin/free any memory once an I/O
is completed successfully, or if cp_prefetch() fails. But if cp_init()
fails, and cp->initialized is not enabled, the same routine cannot be
used to free all the memory.

An attempt to address this exists in ccwchain_handle_ccw(), where a
single call to ccwchain_free() is made for the currently-processed
CCW segment. But this will leak other segments (created as a result
of a Transfer in Channel) that had been allocated as part of the same
channel program.

Address this by performing the cleanup outside of the recursive
ccwchain_handle_ccw()/ccwchain_loop_tic() logic.

[PATCH v8 02/10] s390/vfio_ccw: limit the number of channel program segments

[Eric Farman]

The processing of channel programs, and the CCWs within them, is done
recursively. As such, there is an arbitrary (but not architectural)
limit to the number of CCWs that can exist in a single channel program.

The vfio-ccw logic breaks these channel programs into segments whenever
it encounters a Transfer-In-Channel (TIC) CCW, and the combined number
of segments count towards the global limit. Impose an equivalent limit
to the number of segments until such logic can be made non-recursive.

[PATCH v8 03/10] s390/vfio_ccw: fix out of bounds check on CCW array

[Eric Farman]

The routine ccwchain_calc_length() counts the number of channel
command words (CCWs) that are chained together in a single channel
program, and rejects anything larger than CCWCHAIN_LEN_MAX (256) CCWs.

The loop itself is "do..while (count < 257)", and while the logic in
is_cpa_within_range() correctly adjusts between the 0-index array of
CCWs and the count of CCWs starting at 1, this means it would look
at a possible 257th CCW before ending the loop and (correctly)
returning an error.

Fix this by restructuring the loop to break as soon as 256 CCWs
(thus indexes 0-255) are examined, without looking at memory
outside the range.

[PATCH v8 04/10] s390/vfio_ccw: ensure first IDAW remains constant

[Eric Farman]

The first IDAW in a list does not need to be on a 2K/4K boundary
like all others, and so is read separately to accurately calculate
the size of the buffer needed to read the full IDAL.

Verify that the address found in the first IDAW is unchanged between
reads, to ensure a consistent set of IDAWs being worked with.

[PATCH v8 05/10] s390/vfio_ccw: calculate idal length based on idaw type

[Eric Farman]

Sashiko pointed out that get_guest_idal() unconditionally calculates
the length of the IDAL presuming everything is a Format-2 IDAW.

The output of vfio-ccw is always Format-2, but the input can be either
Format-1 (31-bit addresses) or Format-2 (64-bit addresses). As a result,
the size of the guest IDAL may be incorrect and should be trimmed down.

[PATCH v8 08/10] s390/vfio_ccw: move cp cleanup out of not operational

[Eric Farman]

The fsm_notoper() routine is called when the device has been
lost, and is (by definition) no longer operational. Since this
can happen asynchronously from the normal behavior of the
driver, the cleanup may happen when holding other locks
in the calling sequence (notably, the cio subchannel lock).

Push the cleanup of the private->cp resources to a workqueue,
where it can be done out from under that lock sequence and
safely under a common locking mechanism.

Nit: you mention 'safely under a common locking mechanism' but that
doesn't actually happen until next patch.

Maybe add something like 'so a subsequent patch can...'

Sashiko found a path where you might never open/close, so I guess we
need to flush in both close and release after all?

I still think flush vs cancel to ensure that we process the cp_free()
work if it's pending else we risk leaking the cp resources.

I think this is the last issue of note, so this series is very close as
far as I'm concerned.

Thanks,
Matt

Argh.

The distinction I overlooked is that while the device might not be 
opened, meaning there's no cp stuff to free, the fsm_notoper call will 
enqueue the workqueue itself anyway. It makes no distinction of whether 
there will be anything for the cp_free logic to actually do.

I have been going back and forth, and agree flush is probably better. 
Seems wrong to just blindly cancel it, even if there -shouldn't- be 
anything to release.

[PATCH v8 09/10] s390/vfio_ccw: selectively expand io_mutex

[Eric Farman]

The io_mutex was defined to serialize the io_regions, but then has
also sort of been associated with the I/O themselves because of
the close relationship they share.

With the handful of races that are possible, the choices are either to:
 A) expand the scope of io_mutex to close these remaining windows, or
 B) reduce the scope of io_mutex to just io_region, and introduce a new
    lock mechanism for the remaining I/O resources

This patch implements A, since B brings with it a lot more interactions
that would need to be tracked and kept in a correct hierarchy.

The biggest functional change is the introduction of a workqueue
element for the cp_free() called out of fsm_notoper(), which is could
be run in an interrupt context and thus cannot be acquiring mutexes.

Nit: re-word "which is could be run"

Also the wording here kind of implies you added fsm_notoper() in this
patch, but that was last patch - here you just made it use the io_mutex.

Otherwise LGTM.

[PATCH v8 10/10] s390/vfio_ccw: implement a crw lock

[Eric Farman]

Unlike the channel_program struct, which covers synchronous I/O
submissions and asynchronous interrupts, the CRW region relies
exclusively on asynchronous events coming from hardware.

Implement a lock to manage the list of those payloads, to ensure
they are read cohesively.

Fixes: 3f02cb2fd9d2 ("vfio-ccw: Wire up the CRW irq and CRW region")
