Subject: CVE-2024-56669: iommu/vt-d: Remove cache tags before disabling ATS

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

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

iommu/vt-d: Remove cache tags before disabling ATS

The current implementation removes cache tags after disabling ATS,
leading to potential memory leaks and kernel crashes. Specifically,
CACHE_TAG_DEVTLB type cache tags may still remain in the list even
after the domain is freed, causing a use-after-free condition.

This issue really shows up when multiple VFs from different PFs
passed through to a single user-space process via vfio-pci. In such
cases, the kernel may crash with kernel messages like:

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000014

Move cache_tag_unassign_domain() before iommu_disable_pci_caps() to fix
it.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-56669 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/9a0a72d3ed919ebe6491f527630998be053151d8
