[PATCH 5.15 911/917] powerpc/pseries/mobility: ignore ibm, platform-facilities updates

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Nathan Lynch <nathanl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 319fa1a52e438a6e028329187783a25ad498c4e6 upstream.

On VMs with NX encryption, compression, and/or RNG offload, these
capabilities are described by nodes in the ibm,platform-facilities device
tree hierarchy:

  $ tree -d /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,platform-facilities/
  /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,platform-facilities/
  ├── ibm,compression-v1
  ├── ibm,random-v1
  └── ibm,sym-encryption-v1

  3 directories

The acceleration functions that these nodes describe are not disrupted by
live migration, not even temporarily.

But the post-migration ibm,update-nodes sequence firmware always sends
"delete" messages for this hierarchy, followed by an "add" directive to
reconstruct it via ibm,configure-connector (log with debugging statements
enabled in mobility.c):

  mobility: removing node /ibm,platform-facilities/ibm,random-v1:4294967285
  mobility: removing node /ibm,platform-facilities/ibm,compression-v1:4294967284
  mobility: removing node /ibm,platform-facilities/ibm,sym-encryption-v1:4294967283
  mobility: removing node /ibm,platform-facilities:4294967286
  ...
  mobility: added node /ibm,platform-facilities:4294967286

Note we receive a single "add" message for the entire hierarchy, and what
we receive from the ibm,configure-connector sequence is the top-level
platform-facilities node along with its three children. The debug message
simply reports the parent node and not the whole subtree.

Also, significantly, the nodes added are almost completely equivalent to
the ones removed; even phandles are unchanged. ibm,shared-interrupt-pool in
the leaf nodes is the only property I've observed to differ, and Linux does
not use that. So in practice, the sum of update messages Linux receives for
this hierarchy is equivalent to minor property updates.

We succeed in removing the original hierarchy from the device tree. But the
vio bus code is ignorant of this, and does not unbind or relinquish its
references. The leaf nodes, still reachable through sysfs, of course still
refer to the now-freed ibm,platform-facilities parent node, which makes
use-after-free possible:

  refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

  new_sync_read+0x120/0x190
  vfs_read+0x1d0/0x240

Moreover, the "new" replacement subtree is not correctly added to the
device tree, resulting in ibm,platform-facilities parent node without the
appropriate leaf nodes, and broken symlinks in the sysfs device hierarchy:

  $ tree -d /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,platform-facilities/
  /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,platform-facilities/

  0 directories

  $ cd /sys/devices/vio ; find . -xtype l -exec file {} +
  ./ibm,sym-encryption-v1/of_node: broken symbolic link to
    ../../../firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,platform-facilities/ibm,sym-encryption-v1
  ./ibm,random-v1/of_node:         broken symbolic link to
    ../../../firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,platform-facilities/ibm,random-v1
  ./ibm,compression-v1/of_node:    broken symbolic link to
    ../../../firmware/devicetree/base/ibm,platform-facilities/ibm,compression-v1

This is because add_dt_node() -> dlpar_attach_node() attaches only the
parent node returned from configure-connector, ignoring any children. This
should be corrected for the general case, but fixing that won't help with
the stale OF node references, which is the more urgent problem.

One way to address that would be to make the drivers respond to node
removal notifications, so that node references can be dropped
appropriately. But this would likely force the drivers to disrupt active
clients for no useful purpose: equivalent nodes are immediately re-added.
And recall that the acceleration capabilities described by the nodes remain
available throughout the whole process.

The solution I believe to be robust for this situation is to convert
remove+add of a node with an unchanged phandle to an update of the node's
properties in the Linux device tree structure. That would involve changing
and adding a fair amount of code, and may take several iterations to land.

Until that can be realized we have a confirmed use-after-free and the
possibility of memory corruption. So add a limited workaround that
discriminates on the node type, ignoring adds and removes. This should be
amenable to backporting in the meantime.
