Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] spi: Remove unneded check for orig_nents

Both dma_unmap_sgtable() and sg_free_table() in spi_unmap_buf_attrs()
have checks for orig_nents against 0. No need to duplicate this.
All the same applies to other DMA mapping API calls.

Also note, there is no other user in the kernel that does this kind of
checks.

[1/1] spi: Remove unneded check for orig_nents
commit: 8cc3bad9d9d6a4735a8c8998c6daa1ef31cbf708

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi,

this commit caused a regression which I reported here:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/d3679496-2e4e-4a7c-97ed-f193bd53af1d@notapiano

along with some thoughts on the cause and a possible solution, though I'm not
familiar with this code base at all and would really appreciate any feedback you
may have.

Thanks,
N?colas

Thanks for the report and preliminary analysis!
I'll look at it hopefully sooner than later.

But at least what I think now is that my change revealed a problem somewhere
else, because that's how DMA mapping / streaming APIs designed, it's extremely
rare to check orig_nents field.

Are there any chances left over to avoid a typo in the summary phrase?

Hi Andy,

thank you for the patch. Unfortunately it didn't completely solve the issue. Now
the stack trace is slightly different and points at the next line:

dma_sync_sgtable_for_device(rx_dev, &xfer->rx_sg, DMA_FROM_DEVICE);

So now we're hitting the case where only the tx buffer was DMA mapped, but the
rx is still uninitialized, though the cur_msg_mapped flag is set to true, since
it is shared between them. The original code checked for the initialization of
each scatterlist individually, which is why it worked.

Thanks,
N?colas

Still the same issue. I've attached the backtrace at the end for reference. But
I don't see how a memset would help here. As far as I can see, there's nothing
in the DMA API protecting it from a null pointer to be passed in. So when

dma_sync_sgtable_for_device(tx_dev, &xfer->tx_sg, DMA_TO_DEVICE);

is called with xfer->tx_sg.sgl being null, that will get passed all the way to
iommu_dma_sync_sg_for_device() and sg_dma_is_swiotlb(), where it'll be
dereferenced and cause the issue. So it seems to me that either the DMA API
functions should check for the null pointer, or if the API doesn't want to
handle those cases (like sync being called before the buffer has been mapped),
then the caller needs to do the check, as was done in the original code.

The same applies for the change in spi_unmap_buf_attrs(). I see sg_free_table()
does handle a null sgl, but dma_unmap_sgtable() doesn't (and indeed I verified
null pointer dereference happens there too if I avoid this one).

Thanks,
N?colas

I was kinda expecting that, and already have another patch to try (should
applied on top):

diff --git a/drivers/spi/spi.c b/drivers/spi/spi.c

}
/* No transfer has been mapped, bail out with success */


If my understanding is correct, my patch revealed two issues:
- for non-mapped message at all;
- for unidirect transfers.

But I will wait for your test results to make the final conclusion.

(So the above patch is okay, the below is wrong, but read at the bottom as well)

Right, sorry I was missing that piece.

The dma-api.rst seems to imply that sync calls done after the mapping:

"With the sync_sg API, all the parameters must be the same as those
passed into the sg mapping API."


The dma-api-howto.rst is clearer on this:

"So, firstly, just map it with dma_map_{single,sg}(), and after each DMA
transfer call either::

dma_sync_single_for_cpu(dev, dma_handle, size, direction);

or::

dma_sync_sg_for_cpu(dev, sglist, nents, direction);

as appropriate."

So, it means the calling sync APIs on unprepared resources is a shooting in
a foot. OTOH

Taking into account the above, I think those memset()'s has actually to be
paired with a dummy SG table, which is empty.

But the best shot is to fix IOMMU for nents == 0 case in my opinion. Neglecting
nents before accessing the SG is not a good idea. Catalin?

The commit in question here is this one 861370f49ce4 ("iommu/dma: force
bouncing if the size is not cacheline-aligned").

I also see the same regression on the SM8550 and SM8650 platforms,
please CC [email protected] and me for a potential fix to test on those platforms.

Thank you!

I will try to develop and submit a fix against IOMMU which I believe is the
correct place to address this. So, this one will be plan B in case the IOMMU
folks will refuse the other one.

Hi,

that change did not work for me. Stack trace follows at the end.

But adding the following on top did fix it:

The thing is that even with all the previous changes applied, if one of the
transfers inside the message doesn't support DMA, the null pointer would still
be passed to the DMA API.

Alternatively, I think a better way to achieve the same is (I have verified this
also works):

I'll let you decide what is the best fix for the issue (what has been posted so
far in this thread or another fix in IOMMU). If you go with this, feel free to

There is still no answer from IOMMU patch author. Do you have the same trace
due to IOMMU calls? Anyway, I guess it would be nice to see it.

Meanwhile, I have three changes I posted in the replies to the initial report,
can you combine them all and test? This will be a plan B (? or A, depending on
the culprit).

Ah, indeed, the conditionals also can be translated to

can_dma = can_dma();

if (can_dma && _buf)
...

I agree that this one is much better approach. I will clean it up and send
as a quick fix. IOMMU will still be on the table as I think it's wrong to
dereference SG when nents = 0.
