Subject: CVE-2021-47140: iommu/amd: Clear DMA ops when switching domain

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommu/amd: Clear DMA ops when switching domain

Since commit 08a27c1c3ecf ("iommu: Add support to change default domain
of an iommu group") a user can switch a device between IOMMU and direct
DMA through sysfs. This doesn't work for AMD IOMMU at the moment because
dev->dma_ops is not cleared when switching from a DMA to an identity
IOMMU domain. The DMA layer thus attempts to use the dma-iommu ops on an
identity domain, causing an oops:

  # echo 0000:00:05.0 > /sys/sys/bus/pci/drivers/e1000e/unbind
  # echo identity > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:05.0/iommu_group/type
  # echo 0000:00:05.0 > /sys/sys/bus/pci/drivers/e1000e/bind
   ...
  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000028
   ...
   Call Trace:
    iommu_dma_alloc
    e1000e_setup_tx_resources
    e1000e_open

Since iommu_change_dev_def_domain() calls probe_finalize() again, clear
the dma_ops there like Vt-d does.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2021-47140 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f3f2cf46291a693eab21adb94171b0128c2a9ec1
