Subject: [PATCH 2/2] iommu/dma: Fix zero'ing of bounce buffer padding used by untrusted devices

From: Michael Kelley <[email protected]>

iommu_dma_map_page() allocates swiotlb memory as a bounce buffer when
an untrusted device wants to map only part of the memory in an
granule. The goal is to disallow the untrusted device having
DMA access to unrelated kernel data that may be sharing the granule.
To meet this goal, the bounce buffer itself is zero'ed, and any
additional swiotlb memory up to alloc_size after the bounce buffer
end (i.e., "post-padding") is also zero'ed.

However, as of commit 901c7280ca0d ("Reinstate some of "swiotlb: rework
"fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE"""), swiotlb_tbl_map_single()
always initializes the contents of the bounce buffer to the original
memory. Zero'ing the bounce buffer is redundant and probably wrong per
the discussion in that commit. Only the post-padding needs to be
zero'ed.

Also, when the DMA min_align_mask is non-zero, the allocated bounce
buffer space may not start on a granule boundary. The swiotlb memory
from the granule boundary to the start of the allocated bounce buffer
might belong to some unrelated bounce buffer. So as described in the
"second issue" in [1], it can't be zero'ed to protect against untrusted
devices. But as of commit XXXXXXXXXXXX ("swiotlb: extend buffer
pre-padding to alloc_align_mask if necessary"), swiotlb_tbl_map_single()
allocates pre-padding slots when necessary to meet min_align_mask
requirements, making it possible to zero the pre-padding area as well.

Finally, iommu_dma_map_page() uses the swiotlb for untrusted devices
and also for certain kmalloc() memory. Current code does the zero'ing
for both cases, but it is needed only for the untrusted device case.

Fix all of this by updating iommu_dma_map_page() to zero both the
pre-padding and post-padding areas, but not the actual bounce buffer.
Do this only in the case where the bounce buffer is used because
of an untrusted device.

I've wondered if this code for zero'ing the pre- and post-padding
should go in swiotlb_tbl_map_single(). The bounce buffer proper is
already being initialized there. But swiotlb_tbl_map_single()
would need to test for an untrusted device (or have a "zero the
padding" flag passed in as part of the "attrs" argument), which
adds complexity. Thoughts?

The commit ID of Petr's patch is X'ed out above because Petr's patch
hasn't gone into Linus' tree yet. We can add the real commit ID once
this patch is ready to go in.

Also I've haven't used any "Fixes:" tags. This patch really should
be backported only if all the other recent swiotlb fixes get
backported, and I'm unclear on whether that will happen.

Historically, swiotlb has never cared about exposing data from a
previous user of a bounce buffer. I assume that's because it was
pointless to make an attempt at protecting system memory from a
malicious device that can do DMA to any address anyway. The situation
has changed with hardware IOMMUs, and that could be why the zeroing is
only done in the IOMMU path.

In short, if anybody can explain the value of concealing potentially
sensitive data from devices that are not behind an IOMMU, let's move
the zeroing to swiotlb. Otherwise, let's keep what we have.

Other than that (and the missing commit id), the patch looks good to me.

If we want to go down that route it should be the latter. I'm
not sure if it is an improvement, but we'd have to implement it
to see if it does.

I've fixed that up and commit the series.

Thanks a lot!
