[PATCH v2 11/14] vfio: Make vfio_device_open() exclusive between group path and device cdev path

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With the introduction of vfio device cdev, userspace can get device
access by either the legacy group path or the cdev path. For VFIO devices,
it can only be opened by one of the group path and the cdev path at one
time. e.g. when the device is opened via cdev path, the group path should
be failed. Both paths will call into vfio_device_open(), so the exclusion
is done in it.

VFIO group has historically allowed multi-open of the device FD. This
was made secure because the "open" was executed via an ioctl to the
group FD which is itself only single open.

However, no known use of multiple device FDs today. It is kind of a
strange thing to do because new device FDs can naturally be created
via dup().

When we implement the new device uAPI (only used in cdev path) there is
no natural way to allow the device itself from being multi-opened in a
secure manner. Without the group FD we cannot prove the security context
of the opener.

Thus, when moving to the new uAPI we block the ability to multi-open
the device. Old group path still allows it. This requires vfio_device_open()
exclusive between the cdev path with the group path.

The main logic is in the vfio_device_open(). It needs to sustain both
the legacy behavior i.e. multi-open in the group path and the new
behavior i.e. single-open in the cdev path. This mixture leads to the
introduction of a new is_cdev_device flag in struct vfio_device_file,
and a single_open flag in struct vfio_device.
    - vfio_device_file::is_cdev_device is set per the vfio_device_file
      allocation.
    - vfio_device::single_open is set after open_device op is called
      successfully if vfio_device_file::is_cdev_device is set.
