[PATCH v2 0/9] vfio/pci: Add mmap() for DMABUFs

by Matt Evans

Hi all, This series is based on previous RFCs/discussions: Tech topic: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20250918214425.2677057-1-amastro@fb.com/ RFCv1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260226202211.929005-1-mattev@meta.com/ RFCv2: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260312184613.3710705-1-mattev@meta.com/ The background/rationale is covered in more detail in the RFC cover letters. The TL;DR is: The goal 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. These processes then mmap() the buffers and their access to the device is isolated to the exported ranges. This is an improvement on sharing the VFIO device fd to subordinate processes, which would allow unfettered access. This is achieved by enabling mmap() of vfio-pci DMABUFs, passed by fd to subordinate processes. Second, a new ioctl()-based revocation mechanism is added to allow the primary process to forcibly revoke access to previously-shared BAR spans, even if the subordinate processes haven't cleanly exited. (The related topic of safe delegation of iommufd control to the subordinate processes is not addressed here, and is follow-up work.) As well as isolation and revocation, another advantage to accessing a BAR through a VMA backed by a DMABUF is that it's straightforward to mmap() the buffer with access attributes, such as write-combining. Feedback from the RFCs requested that, instead of creating DMABUF-specific vm_ops and .fault paths, to go the whole way and migrate the existing VFIO PCI BAR mmap() to be backed by a DMABUF too, resulting in a common vm_ops and fault handler for mmap()s of both 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. 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. Notes on patches ================ PCI/P2PDMA: Add CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA_CORE Later in the series, vfio-pci's mmap() is going to depend on pcim_p2pdma_provider() which depended on CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA, which in turn depended on ZONE_DEVICE (which isn't available on 32-bit and some archs, because they lack MEMORY_HOTPLUG and friends). VFIO does _not_ require actual P2P to be present for basic mmap() functionality, only for the optional CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER feature. This splits P2PDMA into a CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA_CORE (which currently contains pcim_p2pdma_provider()) and an optional CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA (which depends on ZONE_DEVICE etc., and provides P2P functionality). vfio/pci: Add a helper to look up PFNs for DMABUFs vfio/pci: Add a helper to create a DMABUF for a BAR-map VMA The first is for a DMABUF VMA fault handler to determine arbitrary-sized PFNs from ranges in DMABUF. Secondly, refactor DMABUF export for use by the existing export feature and add a new helper that creates a DMABUF corresponding to a VFIO BAR mmap() request. vfio/pci: Convert BAR mmap() to use a DMABUF The vfio-pci core mmap() creates a DMABUF with the helper, 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 which takes ownership of the device and puts it on release. This 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. vfio/pci: Provide a user-facing name for BAR mappings 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 mapped. 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-zap/unrevoke. !!! NOTE: the nvgrace-gpu driver continues to use its own private vm_ops, fault handler, etc. for its special memregions, and these DO still add PTEs to the VFIO device address_space. So, a temporary flag, vdev->bar_needs_zap, maintains the old behaviour for this use. At least this patch's consolidation makes it easy to remove the remaining zap when this need goes away; a FIXME reminds that this can be removed when nvgrace-gpu is converted. 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; no mappings or other access can be performed now. 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 vdev->memory_lock is touched; this holds the device registration so that even if the buffer has been cleaned up, vdev hasn't been freed and so the lock can be safely taken. (I decided against the alternative of preventing cleanup by holding the VFIO device open if any DMABUFs exist, because it's both a change of behaviour and less clean overall.) I've added a chonky comment in place, happy to clarify more if you have ideas. This commit makes VFIO_PCI_CORE depend on PCI_P2PDMA_CORE (commit 1) to bring in (only) the P2PDMA provider code. vfio/pci: Permanently revoke a DMABUF on request By weight, this is mostly a rename of revoked to an enum, status. There are now 3 states for a buffer, usable and revoked temporary/permanent. A new VFIO device ioctl is added, VFIO_DEVICE_PCI_DMABUF_REVOKE, which passes a DMABUF (exported from that 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. The code doing revocation in vfio_pci_dma_buf_move() is moved, unchanged, to a common function for use by _move() and the new ioctl path. Q: I can't think of a good reason to temporarily revoke/unrevoke buffers from userspace, so didn't add a 'flags' field to the ioctl struct. Easy to add if people think it's worthwhile for future use. vfio/pci: Add mmap() attributes to DMABUF feature Adds a new VFIO feature, VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF_MEMATTR. After a DMABUF is exported, this feature ioctl() isused to set a memory attribute that will be used by future mmap()s of the DMABUF fd (i.e. it does nothing for any existing maps). The default is UC, and via the feature one can specify CPU access as WC. The attribute is an enum/scalar rather than bitmap/cumulative. The attributes follow a "try-fail" model where a client can request an attribute and either succeed or fail with ENOTSUPP if it's unknown; if future attributes are platform-specific then their support can be probed. (Since it's just UC/WC for now, there is no reservation or numeric structure to the namespace yet, but we could support system/arch-specific values in future by carving out base + arch-specific + IMPDEF ranges.) Testing ======= (The [RFC ONLY] userspace test program, for QEMU edu-plus, has been dropped from the series, but can be found in the GitHub branch below. It at least illustrates the export, map, revoke, attribute, and close semantics interoperate.) This code has been tested in mapping DMABUFs of single/multiple ranges, aliasing mmap()s, aliasing ranges across DMABUFs, vm_pgoff > 0, revocation, shutdown/cleanup scenarios, and hugepage mappings seem to work correctly. I've lightly tested WC mappings also (by observing resulting PTEs as having the correct attributes...). No regressions observed on the VFIO selftests, or on our internal vfio-pci applications. End === This is based on VFIO next (e.g. at b9285405c5f6). These commits are on GitHub for easier browsing, along with "[RFC ONLY] selftests: vfio: Add standalone vfio_dmabuf_mmap_test": https://github.com/metamev/linux/compare/b9285405c5f6...metamev:linux:dev/m… Thanks for reading, Matt ================================================================================ Change log: v2: - Rebase on VFIO next, picking up Alex's vfio_pci_dma_buf_move()/vfio_pci_dma_buf_cleanup() fixes, and dropping "vfio/pci: Fix vfio_pci_dma_buf_cleanup() double-put" - Added "PCI/P2PDMA: Add CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA_CORE" so that the newly-added vfio-pci hard dependency on the P2PDMA provider instead pulls in the _CORE variant and not the full-fat CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA. This means that the core of vfio-pci does not need ZONE_DEVICE, but if it's available then enabling P2PDMA in turn enables DMABUF export. Fixes basic VFIO operation on 32b or other platforms without ZONE_DEVICE. - Fixed comment inaccuracy in vfio_pci_dma_buf_revoke() and cleaned up vdev validity test. - vfio_pci_dma_buf_find_pfn(): use PAGE_ALIGN(), better span variable naming, OVF check - Made vm_pgoffs use consistent (keeping the resource index at the top and masking where offset is used). For BAR mmap, use new vma_pgoff_adjust to create the DMABUF with the exact mmap()ed span instead of from the start of the BAR with an invisible portion before the mapping. - Added VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF_MEMATTR to set memory attributes, instead of using the export `flags` field. - vfio_pci_ioctl_reset: Moved vfio_pci_zap_revoke_bars() (effectively, vfio_pci_dma_buf_move()) back after D0 transition. Note, if a BAR zap is needed, it's done in this function so now happens after this D0 transition with the _move; it was done before it at the time of the memory_lock taking. - Minimised vfio_pci_dma_buf_mmap() (removed redundant span check), added READ_ONCE for memattr - Misc fixes: comment in DMABUF name generation, removed superfluous READ_ONCE from faulthandler v1: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260416131815.2729131-1-mattev@meta.com/ - Cleanup of the common DMABUF-aware VMA vm_ops fault handler and export code. - Fixed a lot of races, particularly faults racing with DMABUF cleanup (if the VFIO device fds close, for example). - Added nicer human-readable names for VFIO mmap() VMAs RFCv2: Respin based on the feedback/suggestions: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260312184613.3710705-1-mattev@meta.com/ - Transform the existing VFIO BAR mmap path to also use DMABUFs behind the scenes, and then simply share that code for explicitly-mapped DMABUFs. Jason wanted to go that direction to enable iommufd VFIO type 1 emulation to pick up a DMABUF for an IO mapping. - Revoke buffers using a VFIO device fd ioctl RFCv1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260226202211.929005-1-mattev@meta.com/ Matt Evans (9): PCI/P2PDMA: Add CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA_CORE vfio/pci: Add a helper to look up PFNs for DMABUFs vfio/pci: Add a helper to create a DMABUF for a BAR-map VMA vfio/pci: Convert BAR mmap() to use a DMABUF vfio/pci: Provide a user-facing name for BAR mappings vfio/pci: Clean up BAR zap and revocation vfio/pci: Support mmap() of a VFIO DMABUF vfio/pci: Permanently revoke a DMABUF on request vfio/pci: Add mmap() attributes to DMABUF feature drivers/pci/Kconfig | 10 +- drivers/pci/Makefile | 2 +- drivers/pci/p2pdma.c | 16 + drivers/vfio/pci/Kconfig | 4 +- drivers/vfio/pci/Makefile | 3 +- drivers/vfio/pci/nvgrace-gpu/main.c | 5 + drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_config.c | 30 +- drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_core.c | 225 +++++++++--- drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_dmabuf.c | 548 ++++++++++++++++++++++++---- drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_priv.h | 57 ++- include/linux/pci-p2pdma.h | 24 +- include/linux/pci.h | 2 +- include/linux/vfio_pci_core.h | 1 + include/uapi/linux/vfio.h | 57 +++ 14 files changed, 815 insertions(+), 169 deletions(-) -- 2.47.3

Navigating the Unpredictable: A Dive into Level Devil

by profound.cheetah.kect＠hidingmail.net

If you’re looking for a fun way to spend an evening, trying an interesting game is a great option—especially one that makes you think, explore, or improve your skills without feeling overwhelming. One example that many players enjoy is Level Devil. Even if you’ve never played before, you can approach it like a puzzle: learn the rules, watch what works, and gradually build confidence as levels start to feel more predictable. https://leveldevilfull.com In this article, I’ll walk you through how to experience a game like Level Devil in a friendly, practical way—focusing on what to do first, how to play, and what habits can make the experience smoother. Gameplay When you start Level Devil, your first goal is simply to understand how the game responds to you. Pay attention to the basics: movement controls, timing, and what happens when you try different approaches. Many players get stuck by rushing. Instead, try a short “experiment run” where your only objective is to learn mechanics—no pressure to win quickly. As you progress, the game tends to reward pattern recognition. Levels may ask you to manage obstacles, plan routes, or react under time constraints. A helpful mindset is to think in small steps: What’s the next safe action? What’s the easiest section to master first? If a section feels difficult, pause and observe. Look for consistent cues—visual hints, recurring enemy behavior, or environmental timing. Often, you don’t need a “perfect” run; you need a reliable one. For another way to explore the experience, some players prefer to review the broader game details here: Level Devil. Tips Start with calm attempts. If you’re on your first run, prioritize learning over scoring. Try not to restart too many times in anger—give yourself time to understand the rhythm of a level. Use “fail data.” Each time you die, ask a simple question: Did I misread timing, misjudge distance, or panic too early? That answer helps you choose a better strategy next attempt. Practice the hardest segment, not the whole level. If the game allows repetition, focus on the portion that blocks you. Clearing smaller checkpoints builds momentum. Keep your controls consistent. Sudden changes in how you press buttons or time actions can make you worse temporarily. Once you find a comfortable method, stick with it for a few attempts. Take breaks when you’re frustrated. A five-minute pause can reset your focus. When you return, you’ll often spot a solution you missed before. Conclusion Playing a game like Level Devil is less about having “elite” reflexes and more about learning the game’s patterns and improving step by step. Start by experimenting, approach challenges with curiosity, and use your failures as feedback. With a calm routine—short sessions, focused practice, and mindful breaks—you can enjoy the puzzle-like satisfaction that makes many levels rewarding.

[PATCH] dma-buf: fix UAF in dma_buf_fd() tracepoint

by David Carlier

Once FD_ADD() returns, the fd is live in the file descriptor table and a thread sharing that table can close() it before DMA_BUF_TRACE() runs. The close drops the last reference, __fput() frees the dma_buf, and the tracepoint then dereferences dmabuf to take dmabuf->name_lock -- slab-use-after-free. Split FD_ADD() back into get_unused_fd_flags() + fd_install() and emit the tracepoint between them. While the fdtable slot is reserved with a NULL file pointer, a racing close() returns -EBADF without entering __fput(), so the dma_buf stays alive across the trace. Same approach as commit 2d76319c4cbb ("dma-buf: fix UAF in dma_buf_put() tracepoint"). This undoes the FD_ADD() conversion done in commit 34dfce523c90 ("dma: convert dma_buf_fd() to FD_ADD()"); FD_ADD() has no place to hook the tracepoint safely.

[PATCH v3 00/10] Add dmabuf read/write via io_uring

by Pavel Begunkov

The patch set allows to register a dmabuf to an io_uring instance for a specified file and use it with io_uring read / write requests. The infrastructure is not tied to io_uring and there could be more users in the future. A similar idea was attempted some years ago by Keith [1], from where I borrowed a good number of changes, and later was brough up by Tushar and Vishal from Intel. It's an opt-in feature for files, and they need to implement a new file operation to use it. Only NVMe block devices are supported in this series. The user API is built on top of io_uring's "registered buffers", where a dmabuf is registered in a special way, but after it can be used as any other "registered buffer" with IORING_OP_{READ,WRITE}_FIXED requests. It's created via a new file operation and the resulted map is then passed through the I/O stack in a new iterator type. There is some additional infrastructure to bind it all, which also counts requests using a dmabuf map and managing lifetimes, which is used to implement map invalidation. It was tested for GPU <-> NVMe transfers. Also, as it maintains a long-term dma mapping, it helps with the IOMMU cost. The numbers below are for udmabuf reads previously run by Anuj for different IOMMU modes: - STRICT: before = 570 KIOPS, after = 5.01 MIOPS - LAZY: before = 1.93 MIOPS, after = 5.01 MIOPS - PASSTHROUGH: before = 5.01 MIOPS, after = 5.01 MIOPS There are some liburing tests that can serve as an example: git: https://github.com/isilence/liburing.git rw-dmabuf-tests-v3 url: https://github.com/isilence/liburing/tree/rw-dmabuf-tests-v3 [1] https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/20220805162444.3985535-1-kbusch@fb.com/ v3: - Rework io_uring registration - Move token/map infrastructure code out of blk-mq - Simplify callbacks: remove a separate blk-mq table, which was mostly just forwarding calls (to nvme). - Don't skip dma sync depending on request direction - Fix a couple of hangs - Rename s/dma/dmabuf/ - Other small changes v2: - Don't pass raw dma addresses, wrap it into a driver specific object - Split into two objects: token and map - Implement move_notify Pavel Begunkov (10): file: add callback for creating long-term dmabuf maps iov_iter: add iterator type for dmabuf maps block: move bvec init into __bio_clone block: introduce dma map backed bio type lib: add dmabuf token infrastructure block: forward create_dmabuf_token to drivers nvme-pci: implement dma_token backed requests io_uring/rsrc: introduce buf registration structure io_uring/rsrc: extend buffer update io_uring/rsrc: add dmabuf backed registered buffers block/bio.c | 28 +++- block/blk-merge.c | 14 ++ block/blk.h | 3 +- block/fops.c | 16 ++ drivers/nvme/host/pci.c | 282 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/bio.h | 19 ++- include/linux/blk-mq.h | 9 + include/linux/blk_types.h | 8 +- include/linux/fs.h | 2 + include/linux/io_dmabuf_token.h | 92 +++++++++++ include/linux/io_uring_types.h | 5 + include/linux/uio.h | 11 ++ include/uapi/linux/io_uring.h | 31 +++- io_uring/io_uring.c | 3 +- io_uring/rsrc.c | 266 +++++++++++++++++++++++++----- io_uring/rsrc.h | 30 +++- io_uring/rw.c | 4 +- lib/Kconfig | 4 + lib/Makefile | 2 + lib/io_dmabuf_token.c | 272 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ lib/iov_iter.c | 29 +++- 21 files changed, 1071 insertions(+), 59 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/linux/io_dmabuf_token.h create mode 100644 lib/io_dmabuf_token.c -- 2.53.0

[PATCH v2 0/2] arm64: tegra: Enable DMA Support on Tegra194 QSPI

by Aaron Kling via B4 Relay

The reason for this is to properly support the spi nor chip on the Jetson Xavier NX module. Prior to this, it would time out on all transfers and sometimes even trigger a cbb fault, locking up the entire unit. With this, reading and writing to the flash memory works as expected. This also fixes the tegra210-quad spi driver to properly use the dma memory space instead of the spi controllers. Without this, enabling dma on the controllers results in mmu faults. The driver change has only been tested on tegra210 / p3450 and tegra194 / p3518 as that is the only available test platforms. Tegra234 and Tegra241 should also be verified. I have p3766 for tegra234, but the qspi flash memory is firewalled by mb1 on all publicly available bootloaders, and no other spi devices are part of the devkit. --- Changes in v2: - Drop bindings patches - Add patch to use dma memory space instead of the spi controllers when dma is enabled. - Drop iommu properties from final patch - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260515-tegra194-qspi-iommu-v1-0-57dfb63cd3d6@gm… --- Aaron Kling (2): spi: tegra210-quad: Allocate DMA memory for DMA engine arm64: tegra: Enable DMA Support on Tegra194 QSPI arch/arm64/boot/dts/nvidia/tegra194.dtsi | 4 ++++ drivers/spi/spi-tegra210-quad.c | 29 ++++++++++++++++++----------- 2 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) --- base-commit: c1ecb239fa3456529a32255359fc78b69eb9d847 change-id: 20260515-tegra194-qspi-iommu-e4e4644d5fdf Best regards, -- Aaron Kling <webgeek1234(a)gmail.com>

[PATCH v2] dma-buf: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV on the pseudo filesystem

by John Hubbard

The dma-buf pseudo filesystem dispenses S_ANON_INODE inodes via alloc_anon_inode() but never sets SB_I_NOEXEC on its superblock. Since commit 1e7ab6f67824 ("anon_inode: rework assertions") in 6.17, path_noexec() warns on exactly that combination, so an mmap() on any dma-buf fd trips the warning: WARNING: CPU: 11 PID: 121813 at fs/exec.c:118 path_noexec+0x47/0x50 do_mmap+0x2b5/0x680 vm_mmap_pgoff+0x129/0x210 ksys_mmap_pgoff+0x177/0x240 __x64_sys_mmap+0x33/0x70 dma-bufs have no business being executable, which is the invariant that the new assertion is enforcing. Set SB_I_NOEXEC. Also set SB_I_NODEV, since the pseudo filesystem creates no device nodes. Reproducer on a CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS=y kernel: make -C tools/testing/selftests/dmabuf-heaps sudo ./tools/testing/selftests/dmabuf-heaps/dmabuf-heap -t system The selftest allocates from /dev/dma_heap/system and mmaps the returned fd, which trips the warning without this patch.
