The memset() is done here because CoCo shared-memory allocations now ignore __GFP_ZERO and instead always zero the memory explicitly. For CoCo architectures such as CCA, this must be done after the memory is converted to shared because shared memory uses a different encryption context. The full patch avoids zeroing the memory twice. If __GFP_ZERO is used for a CoCo shared-page allocation, the page is first zeroed during allocation, then converted to shared, and must be zeroed again. I only changed Arm CCA in this series because I was unsure whether the other architectures required similar changes. Therefore, every CoCo architecture other than CCA currently performs the memset() before conversion, while CCA performs it afterward. If the host expects to see the guest contents from before the conversion to shared, we will have to pass the allocation flags down to these helpers and perform the memset() only when __GFP_ZERO was requested, along the lines of: https://lore.kernel.org/all/yq5aa4p82sqt.fsf@kernel.org To keep the changes minimal, the current approach always performs the memset() rather than passing down a flag. -aneesh

Yeah that approach sounds totally sane to me. We have drivers which stuff all kind of resources, not just memory, into a DMA-buf. That ranges from MMIO BARs to trigger FW operations (doorbells) over full HW blocks (ordered appends, global wave sync etc...) where two or more applications need to share which one is used. That you then have a exporter private interface is for accessing this is perfectly ok. The problem you are facing here is more that this is not limited to one driver/module but multiple ones and you don't want module inter dependencies because of the symbols. So symbol_get() is probably the right thing to do as long as we don't have something like weak symbols or similar. Regards, Christian. > > Thanks, > Fred

[PATCH v10 00/18] PCI/P2PDMA: Route peer-to-peer DMA by TLP class

by Leon Romanovsky

PCI P2PDMA applies Request and Completion Redirect throughout both paths. This misclassifies asymmetric and nested switches, and reports one answer for every kind of TLP. Three ACS controls act on TLP attributes the Requester chooses rather than on the topology: Translation Blocking and Direct Translated P2P act on a Request's Address Type, and Completion Redirect skips Completions carrying Relaxed Ordering. Evaluate each direction at the path divergence, decide every class from the one walk, and treat a client with ATS enabled as translating unless its driver declares per-mapping ATS. This completes the P2PDMA side; dma-buf and mlx5 follow separately. Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro(a)nvidia.com> --- Changes in v10: - Fixed the Relaxed Ordering description: a Completion carries the attribute of its Request (PCIe r7.0 sec 2.2.9.1). - Used the PCIe terms Requester and Completer for TLPs, ACS and ports; client and provider remain for P2PDMA objects. -

[PATCH 0/2] drm/syncobj: fix sync_file import into timeline points

by Julian Orth

Importing a sync_file into a timeline point (DRM_SYNCOBJ_FD_TO_HANDLE_FLAGS_IMPORT_SYNC_FILE | DRM_SYNCOBJ_FD_TO_HANDLE_FLAGS_TIMELINE) has two bugs since c2d3a7300695: 1. The fence and syncobj references leak if dma_fence_chain_alloc() fails. 2. A sync_file that contains a dma_fence_chain (e.g. one exported from a timeline point) is wrapped in another chain and triggers the WARN_ON in dma_fence_chain_init(). I reported this on 2026-05-20. These patches were developed completely autonomously by AI. I have reviewed them, but they have not been tested at runtime. They are only compile-tested.

[PATCH v9 00/18] PCI/P2PDMA: Route peer-to-peer DMA by TLP class

by Leon Romanovsky

PCI P2PDMA applies Request and Completion Redirect throughout both paths. This misclassifies asymmetric and nested switches, and reports one answer for every kind of TLP. Three ACS controls act on TLP attributes the client chooses rather than on the topology: Translation Blocking and Direct Translated P2P act on a Request's Address Type, and Completion Redirect skips Completions carrying Relaxed Ordering. Evaluate each direction at the path divergence, decide every class from the one walk, and treat a client with ATS enabled as translating unless its driver declares per-mapping ATS. This completes the P2PDMA side; dma-buf and mlx5 follow separately.

[PATCH v8 0/9] vfio/pci: Add mmap() for DMABUFs

by Matt Evans

Hi all, The goal of this series is to enable userspace driver designs that use VFIO to export DMABUFs representing subsets of PCI device BARs, and "vend" those buffers from a primary process to other subordinate processes by fd. This is achieved by allowing the processes to mmap() the DMABUFs; their access to the device is isolated to the exported ranges. The primary userspace driver process can forcibly revoke access to previously-shared buffers upon cleanup (without requiring cooperation from the subordinate processes). This is an improvement on sharing the VFIO device fd to subordinate processes, which would allow unfettered access. See the RFCs for background. The existing VFIO PCI BAR mmap() becomes backed by a DMABUF too, keeping common vm_ops and fault handler for VMAs from the VFIO device and explicitly-exported DMABUFs. This will help future iommufd emulation of VFIO Type1 peer-to-peer, making it easier to get a DMABUF for a VFIO BAR as a DMA target. Below are per-patch notes & background info, and at the bottom are several related questions that reviewers may like to consider (worth at least skipping to #1, a possible bug). Notes on patches ================ mmap() conversion to use DMABUF underneath has been done for vfio-pci, but not sub-drivers: nvgrace-gpu's mmap() override path is unchanged; I kept this out of scope for now not least because I don't have a thorough test setup for this system. I would prefer to help the nvgrace-gpu maintainers enable BAR mmap() DMABUFs themselves. It's also worth noting that one reason for nvgrace-gpu's special BAR handling is to map RESMEM with a WC memory type. This is unchanged for existing mmap() but WC is not currently supported for mapping DMABUFs exported for that BAR; all DMABUF VMAs currently have the same memory type and control of UC/WC for a mapping is future work. vfio/pci: Remove DMABUF export dependency on vdev->memory_lock In v5 of this series we discover that doing an export from the VFIO mmap() path (fundamental!) adds a dependency between mmap_lock and vdev->memory_lock(W) because export was using memory_lock(W) to protect the vdev->dmabufs list and state within, and a deadlock scenario leapt out to bite: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/9a615f22-c0d4-46ae-9654-db11e94e5fec@ozlabs.org/ The suggestion was to add a dedicated mutex/rwsem specifically for the DMABUFs/list, which is cleaner than overloading memory_lock(W). But whilst export could now downgrade to holding memory_lock(R) to test __vfio_pci_memory_enabled(), a very similar deadlock can still arise due to a memory_lock(W) elsewhere depending on a prior memory_lock(R) to be released, and attempting to take memory_lock(R) will queue behind the (W) for fairness (effectively an R->R dependency). I'd overlooked that rwsem cannot guarantee multiple readers. To be able to export while holding mmap_lock, export cannot hold memory_lock at all. Instead of testing __vfio_pci_memory_enabled() (which tracks PCI_COMMAND.MSE and PM state), this patch tracks device-global DMABUF revocation state in a new vdev->bars_revoked flag updated by vfio_pci_dma_buf_move(). If an mmap() is somehow performed during a period when DMABUFs are all revoked, then the DMABUF is created revoked. Move() already bookends reset, PM transitions etc., so subsequent revocation state changes work as-is. This flag is also protected by the dmabuf_lock and thus memory_lock is not required to export. vfio/pci: Un-revoke DMABUFs in LOW_POWER_ENTRY_WITH_WAKEUP resume On LOW_POWER entry, DMABUFs have a move(revoke=true), but the runtime resume path didn't un-revoke. This adds a corresponding move(revoke=false), which will later turn into vfio_pci_unrevoke_bars(). NOTE: the unrevoke is reordered _before_ the eventfd_signal() in vfio_pci_core_runtime_resume() to remove a window in which a waking waiter could have observed the DMABUF state as still revoked (or pm_runtime_engaged = true). (The UAPI docs state the event means the resume's complete, so observing otherwise seemed unintended.) Also, when DMABUFs are later mmap()ed, a waiter waking and taking a fault could have seen the unrevoked state and SIGBUS just before taking the memory_lock. (If the handler gets to acquire the lock, though, the resume sequence is complete, and the handler observes pm_runtime_engaged = false.) This fix is in this series because the issue will impact CPU access to the VMA as well (once they use DMABUFs), and so it's a strict dependency of later commits. dma-buf: Provide dma_buf_set_name() Makes dma_buf_set_name() available for use (by helper patch), taking a kernel-allocated string. The pre-existing local helper becomes a wrapper copying a __user string for the set-name ioctl. vfio/pci: Add a helper to look up PFNs for DMABUFs Adds a DMABUF VMA fault handler helper to determine arbitrary-sized PFNs from ranges in DMABUF. vfio/pci: Add a helper to create a DMABUF for a BAR-map VMA Refactors DMABUF export for use by the existing export feature, and adds a helper that creates a DMABUF corresponding to a VFIO BAR mmap() request. There was a request for decent debug naming in /proc/<pid>/maps etc. comparable to the existing VFIO names: since the VMAs are DMABUFs, they have a "dmabuf:" prefix and can't be 100% identical to before. This is a user-visible change, but this patch at least now gives us extra info on the BDF & BAR being mmap()ed. The name is installed with the new dma_buf_set_name() above. vfio/pci: Convert BAR mmap() to use a DMABUF The vfio-pci core mmap() creates a DMABUF with the helper above, and the vm_ops fault handler uses the other helper to resolve the fault. Because this depends on DMABUF structs/code, CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_CORE needs to depend on CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER. The CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_DMABUF still conditionally enables the export support code. NOTE: The user mmap()s a device fd, but the resulting VMA's vm_file becomes that of the DMABUF. The DMABUF takes ownership of the device file and put()s it on release, which maintains the existing behaviour of a VMA keeping the VFIO device open. BAR zapping then happens via the existing vfio_pci_dma_buf_move() path, which now needs to unmap PTEs in the DMABUF's address_space. NOTE: As local LLM reviews did, Sashiko might falsely worry about the DMABUF fd being obtained through /proc/pid/map_files and remapped, but the file is an anon inode and doesn't support the open op (-ENXIO) so AFAICT this is currently impossible. NOTE: A side-effect of this is that is_mergeable_vma() will be false between adjacent mappings of VFIO BARs; merging would require rebuilding a larger DMABUF representing the union, not just plugging the VMAs together. The DMABUF backing the BAR is an implicit/internal export, even when the CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_DMABUF feature is not included because CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA is not available. Without P2PDMA, it's acceptable for the DMABUF to not have a P2PDMA provider. In this configuration, the VFIO DMABUF .attach prohibits any import, which avoids getting as far as a WARN in dma_buf_map_attachment(), which would fail without P2PDMA anyway. vfio/pci: Clean up BAR zap and revocation In general (see NOTE!) the vfio_pci_zap_bars() is now obsolete, since it unmaps PTEs in the VFIO device address_space which is now unused. This consolidates all calls (e.g. around reset) with the neighbouring vfio_pci_dma_buf_move()s into new functions, to revoke/unrevoke (making the steps clearer). NOTE: Because drivers can use their own vm_ops and override .mmap, the core must conservatively assume an overridden .mmap might still add PTEs to the VFIO device address_space and therefore still does the zap. A new flag, zap_bars_on_revoke, enables the zap when .mmap is overridden. A driver that does not need the zap can clear this to opt-out, e.g. if the driver calls down to the common mmap (and so uses DMABUFs). hisi-acc-vfio-pci does just this, and thus sets the opt-out flag. vfio/pci: Support mmap() of a VFIO DMABUF Adds mmap() for a DMABUF fd exported from vfio-pci. It was a goal to keep the VFIO device fd lifetime behaviour unchanged with respect to the DMABUFs. An application can close all device fds, and this will revoke/clean up all DMABUFs; then, no mappings or other access can be performed. When enabling mmap() of the DMABUFs, this means access through the VMA is also revoked. This complicates the fault handler because whilst the DMABUF exists, it has no guarantee that the corresponding VFIO device is still alive. Adds synchronisation ensuring the vdev is available before the locks in vdev are touched; this holds the device registration so that even if the buffer has been cleaned up, vdev hasn't been freed and so the locks can be safely taken. vfio/pci: Revoke a DMABUF on request from userspace This is mostly a rename of `revoked` to an enum, `status`, and adding a third state for a buffer: usable, revoked temporary, revoked permanent. A new VFIO feature is added, VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF_REVOKE, which takes a DMABUF (exported from the same device) and permanently revokes it. Thus a userspace driver can guarantee any downstream consumers of a shared fd are prevented from accessing a BAR range, and that range can be reused. NOTE: This might block userspace, waiting on importers to detach. The code doing revocation in vfio_pci_dma_buf_move() is moved, to a common function used by ..._move() and this new feature. Testing ======= (The [RFC ONLY] userspace test program, which drives a QEMU bochs-display function, can be found in the GitHub branch below. It at least illustrates how the export, map, revoke, and close semantics interoperate. WIP on a follow-up with a proper vfio-selftests style test based on this -- this won't be part of this series.) This code has been tested in mapping DMABUFs of single/multiple ranges from multiple BARs, aliasing mmap()s, aliasing ranges across DMABUFs, vm_pgoff > 0, revocation, shutdown/cleanup scenarios, and hugepage mappings. No regressions observed on the VFIO selftests, or on our internal vfio-pci applications. VFIO on i386 has been build-tested. Thanks to Alex Mastro for building a (WIP) testcase for the prior mmap_lock->memory_lock issue.

If something like this should exist it should be inside sg_alloc_table_from_pages_segment(). I guess pretty much every DRM user has this latent issue? Given few importers even seem to use the segment size, it would be nicer to solve it by just not using segment size here. This is possible with the new dma api, and adding a new dma_buf_pages_to_sgt() using that approach looked OK from an AI draft. However, the dma_sync_sgtable_for_device() in the heap doesn't seem to have a straightforward conversion.. We never made streaming functions for the new dma api, and drivers are not permitted to call the cache flushing functions by themselves. Something to think about at least. Jason

Christian is adamant that drivers must not use physical addresses, and I will not agree to any hacks like this to try to end-run around his prohibition by abusing iommu subsystem. NAKed-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg(a)nvidia.com> If you want to keep the domain in the rockchip driver you have to fix DMABUF to allow an importer to use an iommu domain safely. It *must not* be done with a scatterlist interface, sorry, I know that is alot of work but Alistair is going to take a serious stab at it. Many users want this, not just rockchip. So help with the work to allow iommufd to do this and you will get it for free. Jason
