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.

Changes in v12:
- Rebaed to v7.4-rc1
- Link to v11: https://patch.msgid.link/20261013-fix-p2p-acs-v4-0-v11-0-72cf8c96e617@nvidi…
Changes in v11:
- Applied the client ATS policy in pci_p2pdma_distance_many() too, as
local Sashiko pointed out.
- Read the ATS Enable bit once per query, so the class and the ATS policy
always agree.
- Documented that pcim_p2pdma_set_ats_per_mapping() needs a successful
pcim_p2pdma_init().
- The path diagnostics no longer read ACS Control or the bridge bus range,
and they report a failed cache store.
- Added a KUnit case for Direct Translated P2P without a redirect.
- Clarified the Relaxed Ordering and diagnostics commit messages.
- Honored device-specific ACS redirection, such as Zhaoxin Downstream
Ports, in a new first patch with a KUnit case, as local Sashiko
pointed out. Relaxed Ordering Completions are redirected at such a
port too.
- Clarified in the documentation that a quirk also redirects Relaxed
Ordering Completions and that Translation Blocking applies only to
upstream Requests, and labelled the ACS routing debug line with its
class, as local Sashiko pointed out.
- Treated ACS registers that read as all ones as unreadable, and named
ports that a quirk redirects instead of suggesting
pci=disable_acs_redir= for them, as local Sashiko pointed out.
- Ignored ACS quirks of endpoints, which only describe traffic between
their own functions.
- Link to v10: https://patch.msgid.link/20261012-fix-p2p-acs-v4-0-v10-0-6ffe7b7a4517@nvidi…
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.
- Rebased on pci/p2pdma, which includes the prerequisite P2PDMA fixes.
- Added a topology example to the path divergence patch.
- Removed a repeated sentence from the disable_acs_redir documentation.
- Explained the path divergence in the documentation.

- Made pdev->p2pdma teardown wait unconditionally for RCU readers
- Restricted pci_p2pmem_find_many() to pool-backed providers
- Documented the pdev->p2pdma lifetime and RCU rules
- Fixed calc_map_type_and_dist() handling of the verbose argument
- Required the ACS port and target to share a bus before indexing the
Egress Control Vector
- Gave pci_acs_enabled() and pci_acs_path_enabled() a scope, so the ACS
Direct Translated P2P rule no longer stops pci_enable_pasid() from
enabling PASID
- Dropped "Report ACS ports when the paths share no upstream bridge":
the mapping type cannot change without a shared upstream bridge, so
the pci=disable_acs_redir= hint was not actionable there and the ACS
walk only cost config space reads
- Folded the Request Redirect rule into pci_acs_rr_ineffective(), so
pci_acs_flags_enabled() and the Intel SPT PCH quirk share one copy
- Renamed pci_acs_egress_ctrl_set() to pci_acs_egress_ctrl_is_set(), it
reads the bit rather than setting it
- Reworded the blocked-path warning: ACS may also leave the direct route
indeterminate rather than blocked
- Added KUnit coverage for the shared-bus guard, a device with no ACS
capability and an unreadable ACS Control register
- Added the missing Fixes: tags, a second one on the
pci_p2pdma_add_resource() unwinding fix (the dangling devres action
dates to f58ef9d1d135) and one on the Egress Control isolation change

Leon Romanovsky <leonro(a)nvidia.com>
This series tightens the alignment requirements for buffers that are shared
between confidential-computing guests and the host, and adds a common
allocator for host-shared memory.
When a guest runs with private memory, buffers shared with the hypervisor
are not only accessed by the guest. They are also accessed by the host
kernel, and the host may manage the corresponding shared/private state at a
granularity larger than the guest page size.
Architectures such as Arm can detect incorrect accesses to Realm physical
address space PFNs through GPC faults. However, relying on that as the only
line of defence is fragile and can still lead to kernel crashes. The risk
is especially visible for shared buffers that are later mmapped into
userspace, such as guest_memfd or dma-buf backed allocations. Once
userspace can access the mapping, the kernel cannot guarantee that
applications will only touch the intended 4K region rather than the whole
host page mapped into their address space. Those userspace addresses may
also be passed back into the kernel and accessed through the linear map,
resulting in a GPC fault.
To avoid this, host-shared buffers must satisfy two constraints:
- the address must be aligned to the CoCo shared-granule size
- the size must be a multiple of that granule size
The series adds a common CoCo shared-memory layer for enforcing these
constraints. It provides shared-granule geometry and range-validation
helpers, byte-oriented private/shared transition helpers, and
alloc_cc_shared_pages(). The allocator rounds a request to the architecture
shared granule, allocates suitably aligned contiguous pages, transitions
the complete allocation to shared state, and returns the transitioned size
alongside the page.
The corresponding free helper restores the complete allocation to private
state before returning it to the buddy allocator. If private state cannot
be restored safely, the allocation is deliberately leaked rather than
returning potentially shared memory for unrelated use.
The series also makes zeroing part of private-to-shared transitions, with
each architecture clearing memory at the appropriate point. Callers must
therefore initialize shared buffers after the transition; existing contents
are not preserved.
The shared-granule size defaults to PAGE_SIZE and can be overridden by an
architecture. The arm64 CCA changes to discover the host's IPA state change
alignment are not included in this series.
GIC ITS command queues and tables and the dma-buf system_cc_shared heap
use the common allocator. DMA direct, atomic DMA pools and SWIOTLB retain
their allocation paths and use the common layout or transition helpers.
Restricted DMA pools are checked for shared-granule alignment.
Hyper-V users of set_memory_encrypted() and set_memory_decrypted() are not
changed by this series. Those paths are not currently used by the arm64 CCA
code path, and therefore are not part of the arm64 CCA IPA state change
alignment problem addressed here.
The series also preallocates GIC ITS VPE L1 tables so shared-memory
transitions are performed in a context that may sleep.
Notes:
* I have not added explicit MAINTAINERS entries for mm/cc_shared.c and
include/linux/cc_shared.h, as I am unsure whether we need a separate section
for common CoCo-related files. I will add the entries based on feedback.
* Codex assisted with implementation, review and series organization.
Changes from v8:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260924100529.1398790-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org
* Rebase onto the 7.4-rc1
* Move TDX and AMD (including SEV-SNP) zeroing to their finish callbacks
so private-to-shared transitions clear the final shared mapping.
* Clear __GFP_MOVABLE for shared allocations, which cannot be migrated.
* Resolve NUMA_NO_NODE in the common ITS allocation helper to preserve
placement for all ITS callers.
* Stop SWIOTLB allocation retries when the reduced pool would fall below
the shared granule size, avoiding an allocation retry loop.
Changes from v7:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260921144847.501151-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org
* Add the following new patches:
* "irqchip/gic-v3-its: Preallocate VPE L1 tables"
* "mm: Assert CoCo shared allocations may sleep"
* "mm: Zero memory during shared memory transitions"
* Drop the arm64 RHI and shared granule size patches so that the series can
be rebased on top of upstream to enable Shashiko review.
Changes from v6:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260904103452.1197239-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org
* Add a common allocator and geometry/transition helpers for CoCo host-shared
memory.
* Convert GIC ITS, dma-direct, atomic DMA pools, and the dma-buf
system_cc_shared heap to the common allocator.
* Limit dma-buf scatterlist entries to the requested buffer size so rounded
backing is not exposed to importers.
Changes from v5:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260706060432.1375570-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org
* Rebased to latest kernel
* Drop patch arm64: realm: Move Realm memory encryption ops to RSI code
Changes from v4:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260427063108.909019-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org
* Rename the helpers to use CoCo terminology
(mem_cc_shared_granule_size() / mem_cc_align_to_shared_granule() instead of
mem_decrypt_granule_size() / mem_decrypt_align()).
* Use __DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_CC_SHARED to pass CoCo shared allocation requirements
down to CMA-based allocation helpers.
* Add validation for restricted DMA pools to reject pools that are not aligned
to the shared granule size.
* Add dma-buf system heap handling for cc-shared buffers.
* Split the previous combined DMA/SWIOTLB/ITS change into smaller subsystem
patches covering ITS, DMA direct, SWIOTLB, restricted DMA pools, dma-buf
system heap, and arm64 Realm support.
* Rework arm64 Realm support by moving Realm memory encryption ops into RSI
code and exposing the CCA shared granule size through arm64_mem_crypt_ops.
Changes from v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260309102625.2315725-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org
* Fix build error reported by kernel test robot <lkp(a)intel.com>
Changes from v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251221160920.297689-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org
* Rebase to latest kernel
* Consider swiotlb always decrypted and don't align when allocating from swiotlb.
Changes from v1:
* Rename the helper to mem_encrypt_align
* Improve the commit message
* Handle DMA allocations from contiguous memory
* Handle DMA allocations from the pool
* swiotlb is still considered unencrypted. Support for an encrypted swiotlb pool
is left as TODO and is independent of this series.

2.43.0
Shared-memory allocator services (e.g., Android's gralloc)
allocate dma-bufs on behalf of client processes in different
cgroups. Today those allocations are charged to the allocator's
own cgroup, leaving client cgroups with no visibility into their
actual memory consumption and defeating resource limits.
This series adds memory cgroup accounting for dma-buf allocations,
building on T.J. Mercier's earlier series [1] and incorporating
feedback from previous versions and LPC discussions [2].
Patch 1 introduces the MEMCG_DMABUF stat and reserve/cancel
and uncharge helpers in mm/memcontrol.c
Patch 2 wires up the charging policy: dma_buf_export() stores
exp_info.memcg and updates the stat, a new charge_fd field in
DMA_HEAP_IOCTL_ALLOC accepts a pidfd or cgroupfd to identify
the target cgroup, and __GFP_ACCOUNT is removed from system-heap
allocations to avoid double counting.
Patch 3 adds DMA_BUF_IOCTL_XFER_CHARGE, a general ioctl on any
dma-buf fd to transfer charges post-allocation. This covers the
double-hop allocator case (SurfaceFlinger -> gralloc -> kernel)
and works for buffers from any exporter (DRM, V4L2, etc.). Charging
is gated by dmabuf->memcg being set at export time, ensuring that
transfer is only applied for buffers backed by system memory where
size reflects actual bytes. If the receiving cgroup lacks capacity
for the charge, the ioctl returns -ENOMEM and the original charge
is preserved.
Patches 4-7 add access control for cross-cgroup charging. Letting
userspace decide who to charge needs to be a privileged operation
because it has material impact on OOM decission and resource limits.
We gate it via LSM hooks for the two charge_fd flavours:
security_dma_buf_charge_task() gates the pidfd path (target
identified by task credentials) and security_dma_buf_charge_cgroup()
gates the cgroupfd path (target identified by cgroup directory label),
with SELinux implementations under a dma_buf object class.
Patch 8 adds selftests.
Known limitations:
- Single-owner model: a dma-buf carries one memcg charge regardless
of how many processes share it.
- Only memcg accounting. CMA heaps would additionally need dmem
controller integration.
- If a transfer of an uncharged buffer fails, the buffer remains
charged to the original cgroup. The allocator (userspace) is
expected to handle this (retry, free, ...).
- The LSM hooks are intentionally narrow. Broader cgroup access controls
(e.g. for the memfd/kexec handover case [2]) could be a separate effort
reusing the same pattern.
- Only system heap sets exp_info.memcg today. Other exporters
(DRM, V4L2, etc.) can opt in by setting it, but are not
covered by this series.
- Related to the above: lazy backing-store allocation is not supported.
This can be extended later, e.g., by adding a flag on the dma-buf
struct for explicitly marking when memory is committed.

Thanks for this, looks useful.

I think we should populate a dma_dev-variable here and reuse it instead
of calling dmaengine_get_dma_device() twice.
Happy hacking,

On 32-bit architectures size_t is an unsigned int, and printing it with
%ld warns:

Found with a 32-bit build of the selftests with a 64-bit time_t (gcc 16
and clang 21 with -m32 -D_TIME_BITS=64 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64);
KernelCI's 32-bit arm builds show the same warnings. The changed files
build without format warnings there now, and the x86_64 builds don't
change. The other selftests get the same kind of fix in separate
patches.

The merge order test creates an array and a chain as inputs to
dma_fence_unwrap_merge(). The merge takes references to the underlying
fences but does not consume the input containers. The success path only
puts the merged result, leaking both the input array and the outer chain,
which owns the inner chain.
Put the outer chain after checking the merged result and fall through to
the existing array cleanup on success as well as failure.
The dma-buf-fence-unwrap KUnit suite passes all 11 tests under UML.

Hi all,
A fix for DMABUF's file-release path, to set dmabuf->file = NULL when
the struct file itself is being freed and avoid a stale pointer
lingering. Previously it could be assumed that dmabuf->file was
always valid until .release was called, but commit 4ab59c3c638c6
("dma-buf: Move dma_buf_release() from fops to dentry_ops") separated
dentry release (calls .release) from file release (can happen before
.release). Setting the pointer to NULL clearly delimits the period in
which it points to a valid struct file.
Raw dmabuf->file access is bad news unless the file is known to have a
reference held (for example, during export). A single-threaded
problem scenario is a dentry held open (e.g. using O_PATH) but the
file closed; .release is not called, so the exporter was unaware that
dmabuf->file became stale. Exporter activities using dmabuf->file
then led to a UAF. Or, threads racing concurrent access with a file
closing.
VFIO uses get_file_active(&dmabuf->file), which is a UAF when the
pointer goes stale. Alex Mastro has created a VFIO-centric reproducer
[1], which shows up with KASAN.
To fix, dmabuf->file is either valid or NULL. get_file_active() is
then safe and a recommended way to access dmabuf->file without an
existing reference. The only possible outcomes are for it to get a
reference to the file, to observe a valid pointer but the file in the
DEAD state (being closed, fail), or NULL (fail).
Patch [3/3] sets the pointer NULL when the file closes, which
get_file_active() handles correctly.
vmwgfx was identified as doing a problematic dmabuf->file dereference.
Although already a UAF, making dmabuf->file = NULL turns it into an
oops. So, patch [1/3] correspondingly converts vmwgfx to use
get_file_active() too.
i915 GVT unsafely dereferences dmabuf->file for a trivial debug
printout after the file reference moves to the dmabuf's fd, so patch
[2/3] dereferences in the safe window.
Added comments to highlight that dmabuf->file could go away before
.release, and to use get_file_active() if a reference isn't otherwise
already held.
Thanks,
Matt

2.47.3
Shared-memory allocator services (e.g., Android's gralloc)
allocate dma-bufs on behalf of client processes in different
cgroups. Today those allocations are charged to the allocator's
own cgroup, leaving client cgroups with no visibility into their
actual memory consumption and defeating resource limits.
This series adds memory cgroup accounting for dma-buf allocations,
building on T.J. Mercier's earlier series [1] and incorporating
feedback from previous versions and LPC discussions [2].
Patch 1 introduces the MEMCG_DMABUF stat and reserve/commit/cancel
and uncharge helpers. Rather than charging at the page level via
__GFP_ACCOUNT (which would require every dma-buf exporter to implement
charging, and makes cross-cgroup transfer impractical without access
to backing pages), we track charges externally on struct dma_buf via
a MEMCG_DMABUF stat counter and route all accounting through a single
path, removing the __GFP_ACCOUNT flag from system-heap allocations
to avoid double counting.
Patch 2 adds a charge_fd field to DMA_HEAP_IOCTL_ALLOC, accepting
either a pidfd or a cgroupfd to identify the target cgroup at
allocation time. If the target cgroup cannot accommodate the charge,
the allocation returns -ENOMEM.
Patches 3-6 add access control for cross-cgroup charging. Letting
userspace decide who to charge needs to be a privileged operation
because it has material impact on OOM decission and resource limits.
We gate it via LSM hooks for the two charge_fd flavours:
security_dma_buf_charge_task() gates the pidfd path (target
identified by task credentials) and security_dma_buf_charge_cgroup()
gates the cgroupfd path (target identified by cgroup directory label),
with SELinux implementations under a dma_buf object class.
Patch 7 adds DMA_BUF_IOCTL_XFER_CHARGE, a general ioctl on any
dma-buf fd to transfer charges post-allocation. This covers the
double-hop allocator case (SurfaceFlinger -> gralloc -> kernel)
and works for buffers from any exporter (DRM, V4L2, etc.). A new
memcg_account flag is added for dma_buf_export() to ensure that
transfer/charge is only applied for buffers backed by reclaimable
system memory. If the receiving cgroup lacks capacity for the charge,
the ioctl returns -ENOMEM and the original charge is preserved.
Patch 8 adds selftests.
Known limitations:
- Single-owner model: a dma-buf carries one memcg charge regardless
of how many processes share it.
- Only memcg accounting. CMA heaps would additionally need dmem
controller integration.
- If a transfer of an uncharged buffer fails, it remains uncharged.
The allocator (userspace) is expected to handle this (retry, free, ...).
- The LSM hooks are intentionally narrow. Broader cgroup access controls
(e.g. for the memfd/kexec handover case [2]) could be a separate effort
reusing the same pattern.
- Only system heap sets memcg_account today. Other exporters
(DRM, V4L2, etc.) can opt in by setting the flag, but are not
covered by this series.
