commit 90fdd158a695d70403163f9a0e4efc5b20f3fd3e upstream.

When a vfio container is preserved across exec or fork-exec, the new
task's mm has a locked_vm count of 0.  After a dma vaddr is updated using
VFIO_DMA_MAP_FLAG_VADDR, locked_vm remains 0, and the pinned memory does
not count against the task's RLIMIT_MEMLOCK.

To restore the correct locked_vm count, when VFIO_DMA_MAP_FLAG_VADDR is
used and the dma's mm has changed, add the dma's locked_vm count to
the new mm-&gt;locked_vm, subject to the rlimit, and subtract it from the
old mm-&gt;locked_vm.

commit 046eca5018f8a5dd1dc2cedf87fb5843b9ea3026 upstream.

When a vfio container is preserved across exec, the task does not change,
but it gets a new mm with locked_vm=0, and loses the count from existing
dma mappings.  If the user later unmaps a dma mapping, locked_vm underflows
to a large unsigned value, and a subsequent dma map request fails with
ENOMEM in __account_locked_vm.

To avoid underflow, grab and save the mm at the time a dma is mapped.
Use that mm when adjusting locked_vm, rather than re-acquiring the saved
task's mm, which may have changed.  If the saved mm is dead, do nothing.

locked_vm is incremented for existing mappings in a subsequent patch.

commit ef3a3f6a294ba65fd906a291553935881796f8a5 upstream.

Disable the VFIO_UPDATE_VADDR capability if mediated devices are present.
Their kernel threads could be blocked indefinitely by a misbehaving
userland while trying to pin/unpin pages while vaddrs are being updated.

Do not allow groups to be added to the container while vaddr's are invalid,
so we never need to block user threads from pinning, and can delete the
vaddr-waiting code in a subsequent patch.

<title>vfio/type1: Respect IOMMU reserved regions in vfio_test_domain_fgsp()</title>

Since commit cbf7827bc5dc ("iommu/s390: Fix potential s390_domain
aperture shrinking") the s390 IOMMU driver uses reserved regions for the
system provided DMA ranges of PCI devices. Previously it reduced the
size of the IOMMU aperture and checked it on each mapping operation.
On current machines the system denies use of DMA addresses below 2^32 for
all PCI devices.

Usually mapping IOVAs in a reserved regions is harmless until a DMA
actually tries to utilize the mapping. However on s390 there is
a virtual PCI device called ISM which is implemented in firmware and
used for cross LPAR communication. Unlike real PCI devices this device
does not use the hardware IOMMU but inspects IOMMU translation tables
directly on IOTLB flush (s390 RPCIT instruction). If it detects IOVA
mappings outside the allowed ranges it goes into an error state. This
error state then causes the device to be unavailable to the KVM guest.

Analysing this we found that vfio_test_domain_fgsp() maps 2 pages at DMA
address 0 irrespective of the IOMMUs reserved regions. Even if usually
harmless this seems wrong in the general case so instead go through the
freshly updated IOVA list and try to find a range that isn't reserved,
and fits 2 pages, is PAGE_SIZE * 2 aligned. If found use that for
testing for fine grained super pages.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.

  The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
  container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
  passed into it.

  The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass
  in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
  specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
  "const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
  series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be
  used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem
  from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
  kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
  the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
  either.

  The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
  developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject,
  objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver
  core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of
  paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so
  marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.

  So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
  to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object
  rules.

  All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml
  with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version
  we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of
  subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well.

  Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:

   - kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better

   - vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates

   - sysfs and debugfs documentation updates

   - device property updates

  All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with
  no problems"

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.

  The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
  container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
  passed into it.

  The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass
  in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
  specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
  "const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
  series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be
  used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem
  from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
  kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
  the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
  either.

  The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
  developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject,
  objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver
  core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of
  paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so
  marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.

  So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
  to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object
  rules.

  All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml
  with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version
  we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of
  subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well.

  Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:

   - kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better

   - vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates

   - sysfs and debugfs documentation updates

   - device property updates

  All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with
  no problems"

Pull iommufd implementation from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "iommufd is the user API to control the IOMMU subsystem as it relates
  to managing IO page tables that point at user space memory.

  It takes over from drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c (aka the VFIO
  container) which is the VFIO specific interface for a similar idea.

  We see a broad need for extended features, some being highly IOMMU
  device specific:
   - Binding iommu_domain's to PASID/SSID
   - Userspace IO page tables, for ARM, x86 and S390
   - Kernel bypassed invalidation of user page tables
   - Re-use of the KVM page table in the IOMMU
   - Dirty page tracking in the IOMMU
   - Runtime Increase/Decrease of IOPTE size
   - PRI support with faults resolved in userspace

  Many of these HW features exist to support VM use cases - for instance
  the combination of PASID, PRI and Userspace IO Page Tables allows an
  implementation of DMA Shared Virtual Addressing (vSVA) within a guest.
  Dirty tracking enables VM live migration with SRIOV devices and PASID
  support allow creating "scalable IOV" devices, among other things.

  As these features are fundamental to a VM platform they need to be
  uniformly exposed to all the driver families that do DMA into VMs,
  which is currently VFIO and VDPA"
