Subject: DMA error when sg->offset value is greater than PAGE_SIZE in Intel IOMMU

Hi,

While debugging DMA mapping error in chelsio crypto driver we observed that when scatter/gather list received by driver has some entry with page->offset > 4096 (PAGE_SIZE). It starts giving DMA error.  Without IOMMU it works fine.

Before reaching to chelsio crypto driver(driver/crypto/chelsio) following entities change the sg'

1) IN esp_output() "__skb_to_sgvec()" convert skb frags to scatter gather list. At that moment sg->offset was 4094.
2) From esp_output control reaches to "crypto_authenc_encrypt()". Here in "scatterwalk_ffwd()" sg->offset become 4110.
3) Same sg list received by chelsio crypto driver(chcr). When chcr try to do DMA mapping it starts giving DMA errors.

Following error observed. first two prints are added for debugging in chcr. Kernel version used to reproduce is 4.9.28 on x86_64.

1) We are not expecting issue in "scatterwalk_ffwd" because it is not the only place where kernel
updates src->offset without checking page boundary. similar logic used in "__skb_to_sgvec".

2) It cannot be driver's responsibilty to update received sg entries to adjust offset and page
because we are not the only one who directly uses received sg list.

3) Since Without IOMMU every thing works fine. We are expecting IOMMU bugs.

This is not a bug. The network stack can and will feed us such
SG lists.

No the driver must deal with this. Having said that, if we can
improve our driver helper interface to make this easier then we
should do that too. What we certainly shouldn't do is to take a
whack-a-mole approach like this patch does.

AFAICS this is entirely on intel-iommu - from a brief look it appears
that all the IOVA calculations would handle the offset correctly, but
then __domain_mapping() blindly uses sg_page() for the physical address,
so if offset is larger than a page it would end up with the DMA mapping
covering the wrong part of the buffer.

Does the diff below help?

Agreed,I added that patch for understanding purpose only. Today I referred other crypto driver for DMA related code. Most of them are using dma_map_sg except QAT. In QAT, They are first updating the Page address using offset then mapping each page in for loop with dma_map_single(0. I will try the same in chelsio driver will see the behavior.

Not sure how the page->offset would end up being greater than page-size?

If you have additional traces, please send them by.

Is this a new driver? wondering how we didn't run into this?

According to Herbert Xu and one of our own engineers, it's actually legal
for Scatter/Gather Lists to have this. This isn't my area of expertise
though so I'm just passing that on.

I've asked our team to produce a detailed trace of the exact
Scatter/Gather Lists they're seeing and what ends up coming out of the DMA
Mappings, etc. They're in India, so I expect that they'll have this for you
by tomorrow morning.

This breaks on platforms where sizeof(phys_addr_t) > sizeof(unsigned
long). I.e. it's not always safe to assume that PAGE_MASK is the
correct width.

IIUC it looks like this has been broken ever since commit e1605495c716
"intel-iommu: Introduce domain_sg_mapping() to speed up
intel_map_sg()". I.e. it looks like the calculation for pte_val should
be:

pteval = (page_to_phys(sg_page(sg)) + sg->offset) | prot;

Yes, I think you're right. We do want to mask off the page-unaligned
portion of sg->offset.

As I noted earlier, this is an area of the kernel with which I'm not super
familiar. Both Herbert Xu and our local VM Expert have said that having
Scatter/Gather Lists with Offsets greater than Page Size is not a bug ...

I'm mostly trying to help out keeping focus on this because Harsh is in
India (presumable enjoying a good night's sleep while we look at this.
Hopefully we'll have a present of a bug fix for him when he wakes up ... :-)

Shoulnd't we normalize the entire sg_page(sg) + sg_offset.

if when you only mask the page-unaligned portion i suspect you might be
pointing to a different region?

something like (sg_page(sg) + (sg->offset << VTD_PAGE_SHIFT))

then add the unaligned part.. sg->offset>>VTD_PAGE_SHIFT

Is this happening because you are using a 2M page? not sure what triggers
this or causes the driver to get passed in larger than 4K offset, or
running 32bit kernel?

if its legal to get passed in such odd values, we should fix IOMMU driver to
handle it properly, otherwise we should atleast fail those requests.

Ashok

(woof) This is all above me. I've spent a chunk of time fruitlessly
trying to find documentation which says that scatterlist's are allowed to
have offset/length values which extend outside the sg_page(sg). So someone
much more familiar with this stuff is going to need to say what's allowed.

As I said, I've asked Harsh to provide us with a detailed trace of exactly
what he's seeing and what the Scatter/Gather Lists are getting translated
into. That information may make it easier to understand if/how
__domain_mapping() is screwing up ...

Below mentioned log was already there in 1st mail. Copied here for easy reference. Let me know if you need
additional traces.

1) IN esp_output() "__skb_to_sgvec()" convert skb frags to scatter gather list.
At that moment sg->offset was 4094.
2) From esp_output control reaches to "crypto_authenc_encrypt()". Here in
"scatterwalk_ffwd()" sg->offset become 4110.
3) Same sg list received by chelsio crypto driver(chcr). When chcr try to do
DMA mapping it starts giving DMA errors.

Following error observed. first two prints are added for debugging in chcr.
Kernel version used to reproduce is 4.9.28 on x86_64 with Page size 4K.

Its random, Kernel API's don't check offset value after arithmetic operations like in "__skb_to_sgvec()", "scatterwalk_ffwd()".

Tried changing above line in "__domain_mapping" but didn't help.

Thanks, that makes things a bit clearer - looks like fixing the physical
address/pteval calculation to not be off by a page in one direction wasn't
helping much because the returned DMA address is actually also off by a
page in the other direction, and thus overflowing past the allocated IOVA
into whoever else's mapping happened to be there; complete carnage ensues.

After another look through the intel_map_sg() path, here's my second (still
completely untested) guess at a possible fix.

Thanks Robin. And thanks Harsh for sending the detailed trace logs. I'll
see if I can get this tested today. Harsh is probably headed towards bed,
but there may be sufficiently good instructions in our internal bug system
to reproduce the issue.

Regardless, it seems that you agree that there's an issue with the Intel
I/O MMU support code with regard to the legal values which a (struct
scatterlist) can take on? I still can't find any documentation for this
and, personally, I'm a bit baffled by a Page-oriented Scatter/Gather List
representation where [Offset, Offset+Length) can reside outside the Page.

If this is a bug in the Intel I/O MMU support code, then we can caveat
to our customers pending an official fix for the issue.

Consider the case where the page represents a huge page, then an
offset greater than PAGE_SIZE (up to HPAGE_SIZE) makes sense.

Something seems wrong here.. sg->offset can be > VTD_PAGE_SIZE, think
we should add sg->offset and then find the pteval?

attached below another cut at fixing the same problem.. if there is something
obvious i missed, let me know.

again.. untested :-)

Sometimes offset can be greater than 4K. vt-d needs to account for that.

Robin,

Harsh was able to do an initial test of you proposed patch above and his
test setup survived for 2 minutes with iperf traffic before his PEER went
belly up. Since his PEER isn't on a Remote Power IPMI, we'll have to wait
till tomorrow for further tests -- Harsh does have to sleep some time ...
:-) But the 2 minutes his test machine did survive were Very Promising!

And I see that Raj has also sent a couple of proposed fixes now.
It's just as well that Harsh is off to bed now so we can hash things out
while he sleeps ...

PAGE_MASK (and the corresponding pteval arithmetic) was intentional
here; given the way aligned_nrpages() works, the IOVA space allocated in
intel_map_sg() (and thus iov_pfn) is already rounded to full MM pages,
and it seemed like the original intent was to map the whole lot - this
change is just to make that happen correctly.

Whether it's actually reasonable to decouple the IOMMU and CPU page
sizes entirely (as we do in dma-iommu, for example), and not do the
MM-page-alignment thing at all, is another matter that I'm happy to
leave in your hands :)

So just to be 100% sure I understand the patch you're proposing, you got
the first use of VTD_PAGE_SHIFT wrong; it should have been VTD_PAGE_MASK? I.e.

diff --git a/drivers/iommu/intel-iommu.c b/drivers/iommu/intel-iommu.c
index 6784a05..d43b566 100644
--- a/drivers/iommu/intel-iommu.c

@@ -2254,10 +2254,13 @@ static int __domain_mapping(struct dmar_domain *domain, unsigned long iov_pfn,
uint64_t tmp;

if (!sg_res) {
+ size_t off = sg->offset & ~VTD_PAGE_MASK;
sg_res = aligned_nrpages(sg->offset, sg->length);
- sg->dma_address = ((dma_addr_t)iov_pfn << VTD_PAGE_SHIFT) + sg->offset;
+ sg->dma_address = ((dma_addr_t)
+ (iov_pfn + sg->offset) << VTD_PAGE_SHIFT) + off;
sg->dma_length = sg->length;
- pteval = page_to_phys(sg_page(sg)) | prot;
+ pteval = (page_to_phys(sg_page(sg)) +
+ (sg->offset << VTD_PAGE_SHIFT)) | prot;
phys_pfn = pteval >> VTD_PAGE_SHIFT;
}

??? And I'm still confused about this portion:

- sg->dma_address = ((dma_addr_t)iov_pfn << VTD_PAGE_SHIFT) + sg->offset;
+ sg->dma_address = ((dma_addr_t)
+ (iov_pfn + sg->offset) << VTD_PAGE_SHIFT) + off;

Isn't iov_pfn a Physical Page Number and we're adding a Byte Offset
to that? I would have though that it would be more like:

size_t page_off = sg->offset & ~VTD_PAGE_MASK;
unsigned long pfn_off = sg->offset >> VTD_PAGE_MASK;
...
sg->dma_address = ((dma_addr_t)
(iov_pfn + pfn_off) << VTD_PAGE_SHIFT) + page_off;

I want to be sure that Harsh has a concrete patch to work with when he
wakes up.

How about it Robin, Dan, David, Herbert, what do you guys think of Raj's
proposed patch?

Okay, but whatever the underlaying Page Size is, should [Offset,
Offset+Length) completely reside within the referenced Page? I'm just
trying to understand the Invariance Conditions which are assumed by all of
the code which processes Scatter/gather Lists ...

As far as I can see "Offset can be greater than PAGE_SIZE" is the only
safe assumption for core code.

From my experience, in general terms each scatterlist segment
represents some contiguous quantity of pages, of which sg->page is the
first, while sg->length and sg->offset describe the specific bounds of
that segment's data. As such, the length may certainly (and frequently
does) exceed PAGE_SIZE; for the offset, it's unlikely that the producer
would initially construct one greater than PAGE_SIZE instead of just
pointing sg->page further forward, but it seems reasonable for it to
come about if some intermediate subsystem is processing an existing
list in-place (as seems to be the case with crypto here).

My opinion is that this may be a slightly unusual case, but I would
not consider it an illegal one. I think most DMA mapping
implementations would handle it whether intentionally or not.

In this specific case, it appears that

scatterwalk_ffwd()->sg_set_page()

sg_set_page(dst, sg_page(src), src->length - len, src->offset + len);

and

static inline void sg_set_page(struct scatterlist *sg, struct page *page,
unsigned int len, unsigned int offset)
{
sg_assign_page(sg, page);
sg->offset = offset;
sg->length = len;
}

The src->offset + len seems to be the culprit putting it past the page.
Looks like in the cases when it breaks, the offset is already towards
the end of page.. and adding the len, puts it over the limit.

When dealing with the offset > PAGE_SIZE, is the expectation you have another
additional entry for sgl? for e.g.

if sg->page = X, and offset=4092. and len = 16. Since IOMMU only understands
4K pages this last entry needs to be adjusted?

I'm not sure if the offset+len is a buffer overflow situation or just
trips IOMMU.

Ashok

Hey Raj,

Let us know if you need help in gathering more debugging information. For
the time being we've decided to ERRATA the use of the Intel I/O MMU with
IPsec till we Root Cause the issue. But this is still at the top of Harsh's
bug list.

With Robin's comments, I'm almost sure that the:

(iov_pfn + sg->offset) << VTD_PAGE_SHIFT)

in your suggested patch is an issue. iov_pfn is a Page Frame Number and
sg->offset is a Byte Offset. It feels like this should be:

size_t page_off = sg->offset & ~VTD_PAGE_MASK;
unsigned long pfn_off = sg->offset >> VTD_PAGE_MASK;
...
sg->dma_address = ((dma_addr_t)
(iov_pfn + pfn_off) << VTD_PAGE_SHIFT) + page_off;

When Harsh tried your original patch, Harsh' test system wouldn't even boot.

Hi Casey

looking at the debug output i got from Harsh it still looks like
a bug in the code.

[ 538.284600] __domain_mapping sg_res 0x1 sg->dma_address 0xf291000e dma len 0x38 pteval 0x3cbce3003 phys_pfn 0x3cbce3

somehow when crypto_authenc_encrypt() -> scatterwalk_ffwd()-> sg_set_page()

->sg_set_page(dst, sg_page(src), src->length - len, src->offset + len);

src->offset + len gets set as sg->offset in sg_set_page(). Either the
assumption that there should be room is incorrect, or some higher order crypto
code that ends up setting the offset did the wrong calculation.

if src->offset is already towards the end of the page, then offset+len will
go beyond the end of page.

true, but this is the IOVA- IO Virtual address generated by the
dma_map call. Thought in cases when sg->offset is beyond a page, then
the new iov_pfn should fall on the next page. But we can't randomly adjust
here, unless IOMMU has also allocated IOVA for the page overflow.

Ashok

Input received from user(Here XFRM) contains AAD(Additional Authentication data) || DATA(enc/dec) || Tag(hash). before passing input
to Cipher engine(chelsio) crypto_authenc_encrypt has to skip AAD which is 16 in our case. To skip that 16 bytes they simply incremented offset by 16. 
I think Robin is right DMA mapping should handle it.

OK I was mistaken. While SG lists can contain entries that are
larger than PAGE_SIZE, there is no reason why scatterwalk_ffwd
should gratuitously insert a page_offset that is greater than
PAGE_SIZE.

Harsh, can you please submit your original patch with a sign-off?

Herbert, There are some points which bothers me.
1) That patch solve panic later on after reporting the issue,  I can see DMA_write error traces with iperf traffic.
2) It seems we(crypto) are not the only one who adjust offsets like this. refer "__skb_to_sgvec <http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/latest/ident/__skb_to_sgvec>"  . There can be many more.

sg_set_page <http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/latest/ident/sg_set_page>(&sg[elt], skb_frag_page <http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/latest/ident/skb_frag_page>(frag <http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/latest/ident/frag>), copy <http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/latest/ident/copy>,
frag <http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/latest/ident/frag>->page_offset <http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/latest/ident/page_offset>+offset-start); 3) Yesterday Ashok suggested to run the test with boot parameter Intel_iommu=sp_off. With yhis Even Iperf traffic runs seemlessly.

Don't know what this has changed.

Thanks for trying that Harsh.

sp_off turns of super page support. Which this mode, do you still see offsets greater than 4k?

Yes, offset greater than 4k is still there. Refer below.

It seems completely bogus to me, but if it is the current assumption
we'll have to document it. But this brings me back to that
our scatterlists are a pretty horrible data structure to start
with as they try to mix virtual and physical addressing together.

We'd be much better of by passing a chain of bio_vecs where we
just need virtual addresses, a chain of [bus_addr,len] pairs where
we just need a physical address, and both where we need both instead
of this giant structure that tries to do both at the same time..
