When supporting only the .map and .unmap callbacks of iommu_ops,
the IOMMU driver can make assumptions about the size and alignment
used for mappings based on the driver provided pgsize_bitmap. VT-d
previously used essentially PAGE_MASK for this bitmap as any power
of two mapping was acceptably filled by native page sizes.
However, with the .map_pages and .unmap_pages interface we're now
getting page-size and count arguments. If we simply combine these
as (page-size * count) and make use of the previous map/unmap
functions internally, any size and alignment assumptions are very
different.
As an example, a given vfio device assignment VM will often create
a 4MB mapping at IOVA pfn [0x3fe00 - 0x401ff]. On a system that
does not support IOMMU super pages, the unmap_pages interface will
ask to unmap 1024 4KB pages at the base IOVA. dma_pte_clear_level()
will recurse down to level 2 of the page table where the first half
of the pfn range exactly matches the entire pte level. We clear the
pte, increment the pfn by the level size, but (oops) the next pte is
on a new page, so we exit the loop an pop back up a level. When we
then update the pfn based on that higher level, we seem to assume
that the previous pfn value was at the start of the level. In this
case the level size is 256K pfns, which we add to the base pfn and
get a results of 0x7fe00, which is clearly greater than 0x401ff,
so we're done. Meanwhile we never cleared the ptes for the remainder
of the range. When the VM remaps this range, we're overwriting valid
ptes and the VT-d driver complains loudly, as reported by the user
report linked below.
The fix for this seems relatively simple, if each iteration of the
loop in dma_pte_clear_level() is assumed to clear to the end of the
level pte page, then our next pfn should be calculated from level_pfn
rather than our working pfn.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
