[PATCH v4 02/13] driver core: Set DMA ownership during driver bind/unbind

From: Lu Baolu
Date: Fri Dec 17 2021 - 01:37:53 EST


This extends really_probe() to allow checking for dma ownership conflict
during the driver binding process. By default, the DMA_OWNER_DMA_API is
claimed for the bound driver before calling its .probe() callback. If this
operation fails (e.g. the iommu group of the target device already has the
DMA_OWNER_USER set), the binding process is aborted to avoid breaking the
security contract for devices in the iommu group.

Without this change, the vfio driver has to listen to a bus BOUND_DRIVER
event and then BUG_ON() in case of dma ownership conflict. This leads to
bad user experience since careless driver binding operation may crash the
system if the admin overlooks the group restriction. Aside from bad design,
this leads to a security problem as a root user can force the kernel to
BUG() even with lockdown=integrity.

Driver may set a new flag (suppress_auto_claim_dma_owner) to disable auto
claim in the binding process. Examples include kernel drivers (pci_stub,
PCI bridge drivers, etc.) which don't trigger DMA at all thus can be safely
exempted in DMA ownership check and userspace framework drivers (vfio/vdpa
etc.) which need to manually claim DMA_OWNER_USER when assigning a device
to userspace.
