Well, any VA approach like this has to access some backing refcount via the VMA.

Can't be fixed. We only have a few users: arch/s390/pci/pci_mmio.c: ret = follow_pfn(vma, user_addr, pfn); drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf-dma-contig.c: ret = follow_pfn(vma, user_address, &this_pfn); drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c: ret = follow_pfn(vma, vaddr, pfn); drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c: ret = follow_pfn(vma, vaddr, pfn); mm/frame_vector.c: err = follow_pfn(vma, start, &nums[ret]); virt/kvm/kvm_main.c: r = follow_pfn(vma, addr, &pfn); virt/kvm/kvm_main.c: r = follow_pfn(vma, addr, &pfn); VFIO is broken like media, but I saw patches fixing the vfio cases using the VMA and a vfio specific refcount. media & frame_vector we are talking about here. kvm is some similar hack added for P2P DMA, see commit add6a0cd1c5ba51b201e1361b05a5df817083618. It might be protected by notifiers.. s390 looks broken too, needs to hold the page table locks. So, the answer really is that s390 and media need fixing, and this API should go away (or become kvm specific) > If this really breaks anyone's use-case we can add a tainting kernel > option which re-enables this (we've done something similar for > phys_addr_t based buffer sharing in fbdev, entirely unfixable since > the other driver has to just blindly trust that what userspace > passes around is legit). This here isn't unfixable, but if v4l > people want to keep it without a big "security hole here" sticker, > they should do the work, not me :-) This seems fairly reasonable.. So after frame_vec is purged and we have the one caller in media, move all this stuff to media and taint the kernel if it goes down the follow_pfn path Jason _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
