[ Upstream commit b4ba1207d45adaafa2982c035898b36af2d3e518 ]

This patch fails vhost_add_used_n() early when __vhost_add_used()
fails to make sure used idx is not updated with stale used ring
information.

commit 22e1992cf7b034db5325660e98c41ca5afa5f519 upstream.

A smp_rmb() has been missed in vhost_vq_avail_empty(), spotted by
Will. Otherwise, it's not ensured the available ring entries pushed
by guest can be observed by vhost in time, leading to stale available
ring entries fetched by vhost in vhost_get_vq_desc(), as reported by
Yihuang Yu on NVidia's grace-hopper (ARM64) platform.

   :
  guest# netperf -H 10.26.1.81 -l 60 -C -c -t UDP_STREAM
  virtio_net virtio0: output.0:id 100 is not a head!

Add the missed smp_rmb() in vhost_vq_avail_empty(). When tx_can_batch()
returns true, it means there's still pending tx buffers. Since it might
read indices, so it still can bypass the smp_rmb() in vhost_get_vq_desc().
Note that it should be safe until vq-&gt;avail_idx is changed by commit
275bf960ac697 ("vhost: better detection of available buffers").

<title>vhost: Allow null msg.size on VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3a6cee2bfb53833fb7c3ec68ca01f51fce784384</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ca50ec377c2e94b0a9f8735de2856cd0f13beab4 upstream.

Commit e2ae38cf3d91 ("vhost: fix hung thread due to erroneous iotlb
entries") Forbade vhost iotlb msg with null size to prevent entries
with size = start = 0 and last = ULONG_MAX to end up in the iotlb.

Then commit 95932ab2ea07 ("vhost: allow batching hint without size")
only applied the check for VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE and VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE
message types to fix a regression observed with batching hit.

Still, the introduction of that check introduced a regression for
some users attempting to invalidate the whole ULONG_MAX range by
setting the size to 0. This is the case with qemu/smmuv3/vhost
integration which does not work anymore. It Looks safe to partially
revert the original commit and allow VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE messages
with null size. vhost_iotlb_del_range() will compute a correct end
iova. Same for vhost_vdpa_iotlb_unmap().

[ Upstream commit 9526f9a2b762af16be94a72aca5d65c677d28f50 ]

When the vhost iotlb is used along with a guest virtual iommu
and the guest gets rebooted, some MISS messages may have been
recorded just before the reboot and spuriously executed by
the virtual iommu after the reboot.

As vhost does not have any explicit reset user API,
VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND looks a reasonable point where to clear
the pending messages, in case the backend is removed.

Export vhost_clear_msg() and call it in vhost_net_set_backend()
when fd == -1.

[ Upstream commit 98047313cdb46828093894d0ac8b1183b8b317f9 ]

vhost_iotlb_itree_first() requires `start` and `last` parameters
to search for a mapping that overlaps the range.

In translate_desc() we cyclically call vhost_iotlb_itree_first(),
incrementing `addr` by the amount already translated, so rightly
we move the `start` parameter passed to vhost_iotlb_itree_first(),
but we should hold the `last` parameter constant.

Let's fix it by saving the `last` parameter value before incrementing
`addr` in the loop.

Commit e2ae38cf3d91 ("vhost: fix hung thread due to erroneous iotlb
entries") tries to reject the IOTLB message whose size is zero. But
the size is not necessarily meaningful, one example is the batching
hint, so the commit breaks that.

Fixing this be reject zero size message only if the message is used to
update/invalidate the IOTLB.

[ Upstream commit e2ae38cf3d91837a493cb2093c87700ff3cbe667 ]

In vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx(), range size can overflow to 0 when
start is 0 and last is ULONG_MAX. One instance where it can happen
is when userspace sends an IOTLB message with iova=size=uaddr=0
(vhost_process_iotlb_msg). So, an entry with size = 0, start = 0,
last = ULONG_MAX ends up in the iotlb. Next time a packet is sent,
iotlb_access_ok() loops indefinitely due to that erroneous entry.

	Call Trace:
	 &lt;TASK&gt;
	 iotlb_access_ok+0x21b/0x3e0 drivers/vhost/vhost.c:1340

Reported by syzbot at:
	https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=0abd373e2e50d704db87

To fix this, do two things:

1. Return -EINVAL in vhost_chr_write_iter() when userspace asks to map
   a range with size 0.
2. Fix vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx() to handle the range [0, ULONG_MAX]
   by splitting it into two entries.
