The vfio_iommu_replay() function does not currently unwind on error,
yet it does pin pages, perform IOMMU mapping, and modify the vfio_dma
structure to indicate IOMMU mapping. The IOMMU mappings are torn down
when the domain is destroyed, but the other actions go on to cause
trouble later. For example, the iommu->domain_list can be empty if we
only have a non-IOMMU backed mdev attached. We don't currently check
if the list is empty before getting the first entry in the list, which
leads to a bogus domain pointer. If a vfio_dma entry is erroneously
marked as iommu_mapped, we'll attempt to use that bogus pointer to
retrieve the existing physical page addresses.
This is the scenario that uncovered this issue, attempting to hot-add
a vfio-pci device to a container with an existing mdev device and DMA
mappings, one of which could not be pinned, causing a failure adding
the new group to the existing container and setting the conditions
for a subsequent attempt to explode.
To resolve this, we can first check if the domain_list is empty so
that we can reject replay of a bogus domain, should we ever encounter
this inconsistent state again in the future. The real fix though is
to add the necessary unwind support, which means cleaning up the
current pinning if an IOMMU mapping fails, then walking back through
the r-b tree of DMA entries, reading from the IOMMU which ranges are
mapped, and unmapping and unpinning those ranges. To be able to do
this, we also defer marking the DMA entry as IOMMU mapped until all
entries are processed, in order to allow the unwind to know the
disposition of each entry.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
