A VM which has:
- a DMA capable device passed through to it (eg. network card);
- running a malicious kernel that ignores H_PUT_TCE failure;
- capability of using IOMMU pages bigger that physical pages
can create an IOMMU mapping that exposes (for example) 16MB of
the host physical memory to the device when only 64K was allocated to the VM.
The remaining 16MB - 64K will be some other content of host memory, possibly
including pages of the VM, but also pages of host kernel memory, host
programs or other VMs.
The attacking VM does not control the location of the page it can map,
and is only allowed to map as many pages as it has pages of RAM.
We already have a check in drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_spapr_tce.c that
an IOMMU page is contained in the physical page so the PCI hardware won't
get access to unassigned host memory; however this check is missing in
the KVM fastpath (H_PUT_TCE accelerated code). We were lucky so far and
did not hit this yet as the very first time when the mapping happens
we do not have tbl::it_userspace allocated yet and fall back to
the userspace which in turn calls VFIO IOMMU driver, this fails and
the guest does not retry,
This stores the smallest preregistered page size in the preregistered
region descriptor and changes the mm_iommu_xxx API to check this against
the IOMMU page size.
This calculates maximum page size as a minimum of the natural region
alignment and compound page size. For the page shift this uses the shift
returned by find_linux_pte() which indicates how the page is mapped to
the current userspace - if the page is huge and this is not a zero, then
it is a leaf pte and the page is mapped within the range.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
