xen/gnttab: fix gnttab_end_foreign_access() without page specified

2022-03-11T11:42:10Z

Commit 42baefac638f06314298087394b982ead9ec444b upstream. gnttab_end_foreign_access() is used to free a grant reference and optionally to free the associated page. In case the grant is still in use by the other side processing is being deferred. This leads to a problem in case no page to be freed is specified by the caller: the caller doesn't know that the page is still mapped by the other side and thus should not be used for other purposes. The correct way to handle this situation is to take an additional reference to the granted page in case handling is being deferred and to drop that reference when the grant reference could be freed finally. This requires that there are no users of gnttab_end_foreign_access() left directly repurposing the granted page after the call, as this might result in clobbered data or information leaks via the not yet freed grant reference. This is part of CVE-2022-23041 / XSA-396. Reported-by: Simon Gaiser Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross Reviewed-by: Jan Beulich Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

xen: remove gnttab_query_foreign_access()

2022-03-11T11:42:09Z

Commit 1dbd11ca75fe664d3e54607547771d021f531f59 upstream. Remove gnttab_query_foreign_access(), as it is unused and unsafe to use. All previous use cases assumed a grant would not be in use after gnttab_query_foreign_access() returned 0. This information is useless in best case, as it only refers to a situation in the past, which could have changed already.

xen/grant-table: add gnttab_try_end_foreign_access()

2022-03-11T11:42:09Z

Commit 6b1775f26a2da2b05a6dc8ec2b5d14e9a4701a1a upstream. Add a new grant table function gnttab_try_end_foreign_access(), which will remove and free a grant if it is not in use. Its main use case is to either free a grant if it is no longer in use, or to take some other action if it is still in use. This other action can be an error exit, or (e.g. in the case of blkfront persistent grant feature) some special handling. This is CVE-2022-23036, CVE-2022-23038 / part of XSA-396.

Xen/gnttab: introduce common INVALID_GRANT_{HANDLE,REF}

2021-03-10T22:39:29Z

It's not helpful if every driver has to cook its own. Generalize xenbus'es INVALID_GRANT_HANDLE and pcifront's INVALID_GRANT_REF (which shouldn't have expanded to zero to begin with). Use the constants in p2m.c and gntdev.c right away, and update field types where necessary so they would match with the constants' types (albeit without touching struct ioctl_gntdev_grant_ref's ref field, as that's part of the public interface of the kernel and would require introducing a dependency on Xen's grant_table.h public header).

Xen/gntdev: correct error checking in gntdev_map_grant_pages()

2021-02-15T07:52:27Z

Failure of the kernel part of the mapping operation should also be indicated as an error to the caller, or else it may assume the respective kernel VA is okay to access. Furthermore gnttab_map_refs() failing still requires recording successfully mapped handles, so they can be unmapped subsequently. This in turn requires there to be a way to tell full hypercall failure from partial success - preset map_op status fields such that they won't "happen" to look as if the operation succeeded. Also again use GNTST_okay instead of implying its value (zero). This is part of XSA-361. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reviewed-by: Juergen Gross Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross

xen: don't use page->lru for ZONE_DEVICE memory

2020-12-09T09:31:41Z

Commit 9e2369c06c8a18 ("xen: add helpers to allocate unpopulated memory") introduced usage of ZONE_DEVICE memory for foreign memory mappings. Unfortunately this collides with using page->lru for Xen backend private page caches. Fix that by using page->zone_device_data instead.

xen: add helpers for caching grant mapping pages

Instead of having similar helpers in multiple backend drivers use common helpers for caching pages allocated via gnttab_alloc_pages(). Make use of those helpers in blkback and scsiback. Cc: # 5.9 Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross Reviewed-by: Boris Ostrovsky Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross

xen/grant-table: Allow allocating buffers suitable for DMA

2018-07-27T03:05:14Z

Extend grant table module API to allow allocating buffers that can be used for DMA operations and mapping foreign grant references on top of those. The resulting buffer is similar to the one allocated by the balloon driver in that proper memory reservation is made by ({increase|decrease}_reservation and VA mappings are updated if needed). This is useful for sharing foreign buffers with HW drivers which cannot work with scattered buffers provided by the balloon driver, but require DMAable memory instead.

xen: limit grant v2 interface to the v1 functionality

2017-11-06T20:50:17Z

As there is currently no user for sub-page grants or transient grants remove that functionality. This at once makes it possible to switch from grant v2 to grant v1 without restrictions, as there is no loss of functionality other than the limited frame number width related to the switch.
