decruft the vmalloc API v2

by Christoph Hellwig

Hi all, Peter noticed that with some dumb luck you can toast the kernel address space with exported vmalloc symbols. I used this as an opportunity to decruft the vmalloc.c API and make it much more systematic. This also removes any chance to create vmalloc mappings outside the designated areas or using executable permissions from modules. Besides that it removes more than 300 lines of code. A git tree is also available here: git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc.git sanitize-vmalloc-api.2 Gitweb: http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc.git/shortlog/refs/heads/sanitize-vm… Changes since v1: - implement pgprot_nx for arm64 (Mark Rutland) - fix a patch description - properly pass pgprot to vmap in ion - add a new patch to fix vmap() API misuse - fix a vmap argument in x86 - two more vmalloc cleanups - cleanup use of the unmap_kernel_range API - rename ioremap_pbh to ioremap_phb

[PATCH] staging: android: ion: Skip sync if not mapped

by Ørjan Eide

Only sync the sg-list of an Ion dma-buf attachment when the attachment is actually mapped on the device. dma-bufs may be synced at any time. It can be reached from user space via DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC, so there are no guarantees from callers on when syncs may be attempted, and dma_buf_end_cpu_access() and dma_buf_begin_cpu_access() may not be paired. Since the sg_list's dma_address isn't set up until the buffer is used on the device, and dma_map_sg() is called on it, the dma_address will be NULL if sync is attempted on the dma-buf before it's mapped on a device. Before v5.0 (commit 55897af63091 ("dma-direct: merge swiotlb_dma_ops into the dma_direct code")) this was a problem as the dma-api (at least the swiotlb_dma_ops on arm64) would use the potentially invalid dma_address. How that failed depended on how the device handled physical address 0. If 0 was a valid address to physical ram, that page would get flushed a lot, while the actual pages in the buffer would not get synced correctly. While if 0 is an invalid physical address it may cause a fault and trigger a crash. In v5.0 this was incidentally fixed by commit 55897af63091 ("dma-direct: merge swiotlb_dma_ops into the dma_direct code"), as this moved the dma-api to use the page pointer in the sg_list, and (for Ion buffers at least) this will always be valid if the sg_list exists at all. But, this issue is re-introduced in v5.3 with commit 449fa54d6815 ("dma-direct: correct the physical addr in dma_direct_sync_sg_for_cpu/device") moves the dma-api back to the old behaviour and picks the dma_address that may be invalid. dma-buf core doesn't ensure that the buffer is mapped on the device, and thus have a valid sg_list, before calling the exporter's begin_cpu_access. Signed-off-by: Ørjan Eide <orjan.eide(a)arm.com> --- drivers/staging/android/ion/ion.c | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) This seems to be part of a bigger issue where dma-buf exporters assume that their dma-buf begin_cpu_access and end_cpu_access callbacks have a certain guaranteed behavior, which isn't ensured by dma-buf core. This patch fixes this in ion only, but it also needs to be fixed for other exporters, either handled like this in each exporter, or in dma-buf core before calling into the exporters. diff --git a/drivers/staging/android/ion/ion.c b/drivers/staging/android/ion/ion.c index 38b51eace4f9..7b752ba0cb6d 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/android/ion/ion.c +++ b/drivers/staging/android/ion/ion.c @@ -173,6 +173,7 @@ struct ion_dma_buf_attachment { struct device *dev; struct sg_table *table; struct list_head list; + bool mapped:1; }; static int ion_dma_buf_attach(struct dma_buf *dmabuf, @@ -195,6 +196,7 @@ static int ion_dma_buf_attach(struct dma_buf *dmabuf, a->table = table; a->dev = attachment->dev; INIT_LIST_HEAD(&a->list); + a->mapped = false; attachment->priv = a; @@ -231,6 +233,8 @@ static struct sg_table *ion_map_dma_buf(struct dma_buf_attachment *attachment, direction)) return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); + a->mapped = true; + return table; } @@ -238,6 +242,10 @@ static void ion_unmap_dma_buf(struct dma_buf_attachment *attachment, struct sg_table *table, enum dma_data_direction direction) { + struct ion_dma_buf_attachment *a = attachment->priv; + + a->mapped = false; + dma_unmap_sg(attachment->dev, table->sgl, table->nents, direction); } @@ -297,6 +305,8 @@ static int ion_dma_buf_begin_cpu_access(struct dma_buf *dmabuf, mutex_lock(&buffer->lock); list_for_each_entry(a, &buffer->attachments, list) { + if (!a->mapped) + continue; dma_sync_sg_for_cpu(a->dev, a->table->sgl, a->table->nents, direction); } @@ -320,6 +330,8 @@ static int ion_dma_buf_end_cpu_access(struct dma_buf *dmabuf, mutex_lock(&buffer->lock); list_for_each_entry(a, &buffer->attachments, list) { + if (!a->mapped) + continue; dma_sync_sg_for_device(a->dev, a->table->sgl, a->table->nents, direction); } -- 2.17.1 IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.

It doesn't mean we couldn't use zsmalloc as module any longer. It means we couldn't use zsmalloc as module with pgtable mapping whcih was little bit faster on microbenchmark in some architecutre(However, I usually temped to remove it since it had several problems). However, we could still use zsmalloc as module as copy way instead of pgtable mapping. Thus, if someone really want to rollback the feature, they should provide reasonable reason why it doesn't work for them. "A little fast" wouldn't be enough to exports deep internal to the module. Thanks.

In Linus' tree you can select PGTABLE_MAPPING=y with ZSMALLOC=m, and that fits my understanding of the kbuild language. With this patch I can't anymore.
