Subject: mm: Fix PASID use-after-free issue
Git-commit: 2667ed10d9f01e250ba806276740782c89d77fda
Patch-mainline: v5.18-rc6
References: bsc#1203908
The PASID is being freed too early. It needs to stay around until after
device drivers that might be using it have had a chance to clear it out
of the hardware.
The relevant refcounts are:
mmget() /mmput() refcount the mm's address space
mmgrab()/mmdrop() refcount the mm itself
The PASID is currently tied to the life of the mm's address space and freed
in __mmput(). This makes logical sense because the PASID can't be used
once the address space is gone.
But, this misses an important point: even after the address space is gone,
the PASID will still be programmed into a device. Device drivers might,
for instance, still need to flush operations that are outstanding and need
to use that PASID. They do this at file->release() time.
Device drivers call the IOMMU driver to hold a reference on the mm itself
and drop it at file->release() time. But, the IOMMU driver holds a
reference on the mm itself, not the address space. The address space (and
the PASID) is long gone by the time the driver tries to clean up. This is
effectively a use-after-free bug on the PASID.
To fix this, move the PASID free operation from __mmput() to __mmdrop().
This ensures that the IOMMU driver's existing mmgrab() keeps the PASID
allocated until it drops its mm reference.
Fixes: 701fac40384f ("iommu/sva: Assign a PASID to mm on PASID allocation and free it on mm exit")
