xen/gntdev: remove struct gntdev_copy_batch from stack

2025-08-15T10:08:47+00:00

[ Upstream commit 70045cf6593cbf0740956ea9b7b4269142c6ee38 ] When compiling the kernel with LLVM, the following warning was issued: drivers/xen/gntdev.c:991: warning: stack frame size (1160) exceeds limit (1024) in function 'gntdev_ioctl' The main reason is struct gntdev_copy_batch which is located on the stack and has a size of nearly 1kb. For performance reasons it shouldn't by just dynamically allocated instead, so allocate a new instance when needed and instead of freeing it put it into a list of free structs anchored in struct gntdev_priv.

xen/gntdev: Accommodate VMA splitting

2022-10-06T08:40:21+00:00

Prior to this commit, the gntdev driver code did not handle the following scenario correctly with paravirtualized (PV) Xen domains: * User process sets up a gntdev mapping composed of two grant mappings (i.e., two pages shared by another Xen domain). * User process munmap()s one of the pages. * User process munmap()s the remaining page. * User process exits. In the scenario above, the user process would cause the kernel to log the following messages in dmesg for the first munmap(), and the second munmap() call would result in similar log messages: BUG: Bad page map in process doublemap.test pte:... pmd:... page:0000000057c97bff refcount:1 mapcount:-1 \ mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:... ... page dumped because: bad pte ... file:gntdev fault:0x0 mmap:gntdev_mmap [xen_gntdev] readpage:0x0 ...

For each munmap() call, the Xen hypervisor (if built with CONFIG_DEBUG) would print out the following and trigger a general protection fault in the affected Xen PV domain: (XEN) d0v... Attempt to implicitly unmap d0's grant PTE ... (XEN) d0v... Attempt to implicitly unmap d0's grant PTE ... As of this writing, gntdev_grant_map structure's vma field (referred to as map->vma below) is mainly used for checking the start and end addresses of mappings. However, with split VMAs, these may change, and there could be more than one VMA associated with a gntdev mapping. Hence, remove the use of map->vma and rely on map->pages_vm_start for the original start address and on (map->count << PAGE_SHIFT) for the original mapping size. Let the invalidate() and find_special_page() hooks use these. Also, given that there can be multiple VMAs associated with a gntdev mapping, move the "mmu_interval_notifier_remove(&map->notifier)" call to the end of gntdev_put_map, so that the MMU notifier is only removed after the closing of the last remaining VMA. Finally, use an atomic to prevent inadvertent gntdev mapping re-use, instead of using the map->live_grants atomic counter and/or the map->vma pointer (the latter of which is now removed). This prevents the userspace from mmap()'ing (with MAP_FIXED) a gntdev mapping over the same address range as a previously set up gntdev mapping. This scenario can be summarized with the following call-trace, which was valid prior to this commit: mmap gntdev_mmap mmap (repeat mmap with MAP_FIXED over the same address range) gntdev_invalidate unmap_grant_pages (sets 'being_removed' entries to true) gnttab_unmap_refs_async unmap_single_vma gntdev_mmap (maps the shared pages again) munmap gntdev_invalidate unmap_grant_pages (no-op because 'being_removed' entries are true) unmap_single_vma (For PV domains, Xen reports that a granted page is being unmapped and triggers a general protection fault in the affected domain, if Xen was built with CONFIG_DEBUG) The fix for this last scenario could be worth its own commit, but we opted for a single commit, because removing the gntdev_grant_map structure's vma field requires guarding the entry to gntdev_mmap(), and the live_grants atomic counter is not sufficient on its own to prevent the mmap() over a pre-existing mapping.

xen/gntdev: Prevent leaking grants

2022-10-06T08:40:16+00:00

Prior to this commit, if a grant mapping operation failed partially, some of the entries in the map_ops array would be invalid, whereas all of the entries in the kmap_ops array would be valid. This in turn would cause the following logic in gntdev_map_grant_pages to become invalid: for (i = 0; i < map->count; i++) { if (map->map_ops[i].status == GNTST_okay) { map->unmap_ops[i].handle = map->map_ops[i].handle; if (!use_ptemod) alloced++; } if (use_ptemod) { if (map->kmap_ops[i].status == GNTST_okay) { if (map->map_ops[i].status == GNTST_okay) alloced++; map->kunmap_ops[i].handle = map->kmap_ops[i].handle; } } } ... atomic_add(alloced, &map->live_grants); Assume that use_ptemod is true (i.e., the domain mapping the granted pages is a paravirtualized domain). In the code excerpt above, note that the "alloced" variable is only incremented when both kmap_ops[i].status and map_ops[i].status are set to GNTST_okay (i.e., both mapping operations are successful). However, as also noted above, there are cases where a grant mapping operation fails partially, breaking the assumption of the code excerpt above. The aforementioned causes map->live_grants to be incorrectly set. In some cases, all of the map_ops mappings fail, but all of the kmap_ops mappings succeed, meaning that live_grants may remain zero. This in turn makes it impossible to unmap the successfully grant-mapped pages pointed to by kmap_ops, because unmap_grant_pages has the following snippet of code at its beginning: if (atomic_read(&map->live_grants) == 0) return; /* Nothing to do */ In other cases where only some of the map_ops mappings fail but all kmap_ops mappings succeed, live_grants is made positive, but when the user requests unmapping the grant-mapped pages, __unmap_grant_pages_done will then make map->live_grants negative, because the latter function does not check if all of the pages that were requested to be unmapped were actually unmapped, and the same function unconditionally subtracts "data->count" (i.e., a value that can be greater than map->live_grants) from map->live_grants. The side effects of a negative live_grants value have not been studied. The net effect of all of this is that grant references are leaked in one of the above conditions. In Qubes OS v4.1 (which uses Xen's grant mechanism extensively for X11 GUI isolation), this issue manifests itself with warning messages like the following to be printed out by the Linux kernel in the VM that had granted pages (that contain X11 GUI window data) to dom0: "g.e. 0x1234 still pending", especially after the user rapidly resizes GUI VM windows (causing some grant-mapping operations to partially or completely fail, due to the fact that the VM unshares some of the pages as part of the window resizing, making the pages impossible to grant-map from dom0). The fix for this issue involves counting all successful map_ops and kmap_ops mappings separately, and then adding the sum to live_grants. During unmapping, only the number of successfully unmapped grants is subtracted from live_grants. The code is also modified to check for negative live_grants values after the subtraction and warn the user.

xen/gntdev: Ignore failure to unmap INVALID_GRANT_HANDLE

2022-07-11T09:39:45+00:00

The error paths of gntdev_mmap() can call unmap_grant_pages() even though not all of the pages have been successfully mapped. This will trigger the WARN_ON()s in __unmap_grant_pages_done(). The number of warnings can be very large; I have observed thousands of lines of warnings in the systemd journal. Avoid this problem by only warning on unmapping failure if the handle being unmapped is not INVALID_GRANT_HANDLE. The handle field of any page that was not successfully mapped will be INVALID_GRANT_HANDLE, so this catches all cases where unmapping can legitimately fail.

xen/gntdev: Avoid blocking in unmap_grant_pages()

2022-06-23T13:29:18+00:00

unmap_grant_pages() currently waits for the pages to no longer be used. In https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/7481, this lead to a deadlock against i915: i915 was waiting for gntdev's MMU notifier to finish, while gntdev was waiting for i915 to free its pages. I also believe this is responsible for various deadlocks I have experienced in the past. Avoid these problems by making unmap_grant_pages async. This requires making it return void, as any errors will not be available when the function returns. Fortunately, the only use of the return value is a WARN_ON(), which can be replaced by a WARN_ON when the error is detected. Additionally, a failed call will not prevent further calls from being made, but this is harmless. Because unmap_grant_pages is now async, the grant handle will be sent to INVALID_GRANT_HANDLE too late to prevent multiple unmaps of the same handle. Instead, a separate bool array is allocated for this purpose. This wastes memory, but stuffing this information in padding bytes is too fragile. Furthermore, it is necessary to grab a reference to the map before making the asynchronous call, and release the reference when the call returns. It is also necessary to guard against reentrancy in gntdev_map_put(), and to handle the case where userspace tries to map a mapping whose contents have not all been freed yet.

xen/gntdev: fix unmap notification order

2022-01-06T07:52:22+00:00

While working with Xen's libxenvchan library I have faced an issue with unmap notifications sent in wrong order if both UNMAP_NOTIFY_SEND_EVENT and UNMAP_NOTIFY_CLEAR_BYTE were requested: first we send an event channel notification and then clear the notification byte which renders in the below inconsistency (cli_live is the byte which was requested to be cleared on unmap): [ 444.514243] gntdev_put_map UNMAP_NOTIFY_SEND_EVENT map->notify.event 6 libxenvchan_is_open cli_live 1 [ 444.515239] __unmap_grant_pages UNMAP_NOTIFY_CLEAR_BYTE at 14 Thus it is not possible to reliably implement the checks like - wait for the notification (UNMAP_NOTIFY_SEND_EVENT) - check the variable (UNMAP_NOTIFY_CLEAR_BYTE) because it is possible that the variable gets checked before it is cleared by the kernel. To fix that we need to re-order the notifications, so the variable is first gets cleared and then the event channel notification is sent. With this fix I can see the correct order of execution: [ 54.522611] __unmap_grant_pages UNMAP_NOTIFY_CLEAR_BYTE at 14 [ 54.537966] gntdev_put_map UNMAP_NOTIFY_SEND_EVENT map->notify.event 6 libxenvchan_is_open cli_live 0 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Oleksandr Andrushchenko Reviewed-by: Boris Ostrovsky Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211210092817.580718-1-andr2000@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross
