[PATCH v3] xen/gntdev: Fix the abuse of underlying struct page in DMA-buf import

From: Oleksandr Tyshchenko
Date: Tue Jan 09 2024 - 13:31:57 EST


From: Oleksandr Tyshchenko <oleksandr_tyshchenko@xxxxxxxx>

DO NOT access the underlying struct page of an sg table exported
by DMA-buf in dmabuf_imp_to_refs(), this is not allowed.
Please see drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c:mangle_sg_table() for details.

Fortunately, here (for special Xen device) we can avoid using
pages and calculate gfns directly from dma addresses provided by
the sg table.

Please note, I didn't manage to test the patch against the latest master branch
on real HW (patch was only build tested there). Patch was tested on Arm64
guests using Linux v5.10.41 from vendor's BSP, this is the environment where
running this use-case is possible and to which I have an access (Xen PV display
with zero-copy and backend domain as a buffer provider - be-alloc=1, so dma-buf
import part was involved). A little bit old, but the dma-buf import code
in gntdev-dmabuf.c hasn't been changed much since that time, all context
remains allmost the same according to my code inspection.

V2:
- add R-b and A-b
- fix build warning noticed by kernel test robot by initializing
"ret" in case of error
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202401062122.it6zvLG0-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/

V3:
- add A-b
- add in-code comment
