Subject: [PATCH] vduse: fix VA/PA confusion in the coherent page fault path
vduse_domain_get_coherent_page() assumes that iotlb entries above
bounce_size were installed by vduse_domain_alloc_coherent(), so it
treats map->addr as a physical address. But vduse registers with
use_va = true, and when the device is bound to vhost_vdpa,
vhost_vdpa_va_map() stores a userspace virtual address in map->addr,
which vduse_domain_set_map() then copies into the same iotlb. A
process holding the domain file descriptor across a rebind can
therefore fault in an arbitrary physical page with read/write
access, ignoring the entry permissions.
Additionally, since the domain file mmap lacks VM_IO, the domain
file itself can be mapped and passed to vhost_vdpa_va_map(),
producing self-referential entries that bypass the coherent path
check.
To fix, only translate entries whose backing file is the domain
file itself in vduse_domain_get_coherent_page(), reject such
entries in vduse_domain_set_map() since only external mappings
should be imported, and set VM_IO on the domain file mmap so
vhost_vdpa_va_map() refuses to map it in the first place.
