Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 3/6] iommu/virtio: allocate the UNMAP request with the mapping
Date: Sun, 04 Oct 2026 13:09:49 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261004130950.3F81F1F000FF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <tencent_E9DADACA296EBD4DBF63DB0F072B37DDCC07@qq.com>

> The iommu core states the contract plainly (iommufd pages.c): a driver
> may not fail unmap for reasons beyond bad arguments, and in particular
> may not allocate on the unmap path, because the caller may free the
> memory as soon as unmap returns. viommu_del_mappings() still allocated
> the UNMAP request there, so a forced allocation failure left the device
> mapping a page the driver had already released, while the caller was told
> nothing.
> 
> Allocate that request object with the mapping instead - on the map path,
> which is allowed to fail and reports the failure to the caller that is
> mapping - and free it with the mapping when no UNMAP is sent: the unmap
> path then only fills in and queues a request. Measured with a fault
> injected into that allocation (failslab, on the fault-injection harness
> this work used): the unpatched driver returns success for a re-map of the
> same IOVA while the device still translates it to the freed page, proven
> with a real DMA through the QEMU iommu-testdev; with this patch the same
> scenario reports no such case in any round and the DMA lands on the new
> page. The unmap path allocates nothing afterwards, and the device sees
> the same request stream.
