With proper permission (and, for the I/O port case, wrap-around) checks
added (note that for the I/O port case a count of zero is now being
disallowed, in line with I/O memory handling):
XEN_DOMCTL_irq_permission:
XEN_DOMCTL_ioport_permission:
Of both IRQs and I/O ports there is only a reasonably small amount, so
there's no excess resource consumption involved here. Additionally
they both have a specialized XSM hook associated.
XEN_DOMCTL_iomem_permission:
While this also has a specialized XSM hook associated (just like
XEN_DOMCTL_{irq,ioport}_permission), it's not clear whether it's
reasonable to expect XSM to restrict the number of ranges associated
with a domain via this hook (which is the main resource consumption
item here).

Hi,
I see possible issue with this patch. Can someone clarify - did I get
everything correctly?

pirq_access_permitted() checks a range. Range can be added only with
pirq_permit_access() function call. The only place where
pirq_permit_access() is called - is following
*else if* branch. But it will be never called -
pirq_access_permitted() will return 0 if range does not exist. As
result - it is impossible to add irq, even if XSM allows this.
The same is true for iomem_access_permitted() function call.

I questioned the same issue when this patch went in.
The argument is that, even with XSM, a domain may only permit access to
pirqs for which it also has permissions.
This prevents a buggy domain builder accidentally conferring pirq access
for a dom0 resource, without dom0 first having conferred access to the
domain builder.

Okay. This sounds reasonable.
One more question - I see that pirq_access_permitted() calls with
current->domain pointer, which points to dom0.
So, if resource belongs to dom0 - it must not belong to any other
domain. But in current implementation pirq_access_permitted() returns
0 if resource is not found.
In other words - resource does not belong to dom0, but -EPERM error
will be returned anyway.

Andrii

In a traditional case, yes. In an XSM case with semi-privileged
domain-builder domains, current could easily point to a domain other
than dom0.

Why so? Resources are not exclusive to a single domain. PCIPassthough
is a prime example where the device strictly still belongs to dom0, but
pciback in dom0 ensures it is not being used by dom0 while it is being
used by another domain.
> But in current implementation pirq_access_permitted() returns

Correct, and that is the point.
If the current domain does not have permissions to use a certain pirq,
it does not have permission to alter the permission of another domain,
with respect to this pirq. Note that by permitting/denying access to a
target domain, the current domain does not loose its existing permissions.

The resource may not strictly belong to dom0, but dom0 still retains
permissions to use it, and permissions to revoke access in the future if
it chooses.
