I don't know how many other drivers there will be in the future,
so quite possibly a non-issue. It did happen with the idxd driver
though, and I was thinking about that this morning so thought I
would send a patch to avoid it in the future.

And I apparently had vt-d on the brain, which should be dropped
from the summary.

iommu_sva_bind_device() should only be called if
iommu_dev_enable_feature() succeeded. There has been one case already
where that hasn't been the case, which resulted in a null pointer
deref in dev_iommu_ops(). To avoid that happening in the future if
another driver makes that mistake, sanity check dev->iommu and
dev->iommu->iommu_dev prior to calling dev_iommu_ops().

If that's the case, dev_iommu_ops() will warn a NULL pointer reference.
This kind of error will be discovered at the first place.

It was doing that to SPR systems that didn't boot with
intel_iommu=on. They had to either enable the iommu, or blacklist the
idxd driver until the idxd driver had a fix. The idea here is to
avoid taking the system down, and just have the driver get an error back.

If IOMMU is disabled, the iommu_dev_enable_feat(SVA) will return an
error, the idxd driver should not call the sva_bind() interfaces
anymore. If the driver doesn't do like this, why not fixing it in the
driver itself?

The idxd case was found, and fixed by me back in June. I just was
showing the stack trace to show that it crashes the system, not just
puts out a warning.
Why would this stop someone fixing the problem in a driver that is
calling sva_bind() interface incorrectly?
Nothing else in the system cares that some driver forgot to call
iommu_dev_enable_feat(), or forgot to check the return value. Nothing
else would be impacted by it, except that the system is being allowed
to crash. If the idea is to get noticed more quickly, couldn't a
WARN_ON() + returning an error solve that without resorting to
crashing the system?

The point is really that this is the kind of obvious bug that should be
found during development; it's not the IOMMU API's responsibility if
some driver patch gets merged and gets as far as a distro release
without ever being fully tested. If someone doesn't use an API properly
it can go wrong in any number of ways, so the value of maintaining code
to mitigate just one of those ways is questionable. In this case,
consider if a driver *is* present but failed iommu_dev_enable_feat() for
some other reason, then its ->sva_bind goes and dereferences some
internal data that it expects the previous ->dev_enable_feat to have
allocated. Boom, it just crashes somewhere else instead.
If you really think it's worth the effort to maintain code that only
serves to give lazy developers a free pass (and I freely admit to being
a lazy developer most of the time) then a robust approach would be some
generic tracking in dev->iommu for which features have been successfully
enabled. Certainly I'm not convinced this patch as-is is worthwhile.
However, if a bad driver isn't handling the return from
iommu_dev_enable_feature(), who's to say it's actually handling the
return from iommu_sva_bind_device() either, and wouldn't still end up
crashing some other way? Ultimately it's a game you can't win.
Thanks,
Robin.

Okay. Thank you for the explanation.
To better understand where that line is for the future, what is the
argument for device_iommu_capable(), another exported symbol, doing
the same check? The lack of a prerequisite caller in the comments? To
be clear I'm asking this out of desire to better know when it should
be done, not say hey Robin you did it! :)
I'm just irked by the number of problems I've had to chase down lately
that are no fault of the iommu code. The past few months have been
drivers using the dma api incorrectly for years, and OEMs forgetting
to put RMRR or IVMD blocks in the DMAR and IVRS tables. Of course
if there is an iommu call in the stack trace, or it goes away if you
disable the iommu or set iommu.passthrough=1, then obviously the iommu
is at fault. :)
Thanks,
Jerry

I should've added it was device_iommu_capable() that gave me the idea
to try that in iommu_sva_bind_device().
