Subject: [PATCH v8 0/7] iommu: Bounce page for untrusted devices
The Thunderbolt vulnerabilities are public and have a nice
name as Thunderclap [1] [3] nowadays. This patch series aims
to mitigate those concerns.
An external PCI device is a PCI peripheral device connected
to the system through an external bus, such as Thunderbolt.
What makes it different is that it can't be trusted to the
same degree as the devices build into the system. Generally,
a trusted PCIe device will DMA into the designated buffers
and not overrun or otherwise write outside the specified
bounds. But it's different for an external device.
The minimum IOMMU mapping granularity is one page (4k), so
for DMA transfers smaller than that a malicious PCIe device
can access the whole page of memory even if it does not
belong to the driver in question. This opens a possibility
for DMA attack. For more information about DMA attacks
imposed by an untrusted PCI/PCIe device, please refer to [2].
This implements bounce buffer for the untrusted external
devices. The transfers should be limited in isolated pages
so the IOMMU window does not cover memory outside of what
the driver expects. Previously (v3 and before), we proposed
an optimisation to only copy the head and tail of the buffer
if it spans multiple pages, and directly map the ones in the
middle. Figure 1 gives a big picture about this solution.

As Robin Murphy pointed out, this ties us to using strict mode for
TLB maintenance, which may not be an overall win depending on the
balance between invalidation bandwidth vs. memcpy bandwidth. If we
use standard SWIOTLB logic to always copy the whole thing, we should
be able to release the bounce pages via the flush queue to allow
'safe' lazy unmaps. So since v4 we start to use the standard swiotlb
logic.

Figure 2: A big view of simplified iommu bounce page
The implementation of bounce buffers for untrusted devices
will cause a little performance overhead, but we didn't see
any user experience problems. The users could use the kernel
parameter defined in the IOMMU driver to remove the performance
overhead if they trust their devices enough.
This series introduces below APIs for bounce page:
* iommu_bounce_map(dev, addr, paddr, size, dir, attrs)
- Map a buffer start at DMA address @addr in bounce page
manner. For buffer that doesn't cross whole minimal
IOMMU pages, the bounce buffer policy is applied.
A bounce page mapped by swiotlb will be used as the DMA
target in the IOMMU page table.
* iommu_bounce_unmap(dev, addr, size, dir, attrs)
- Unmap the buffer mapped with iommu_bounce_map(). The bounce
page will be torn down after the bounced data get synced.
* iommu_bounce_sync_single(dev, addr, size, dir, target)
- Synce the bounced data in case the bounce mapped buffer is
reused.
The bounce page idea:

Change log:
v7->v8:
- The previous v7 was posted here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/8/23/83
- Keep the swiotlb pre-allocated pages only if intel-iommu driver
needs bounce buffers, a.k.a. system has untrusted devices or
external ports.
v6->v7:
- The previous v6 was posted here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/30/18
- Remove the unnecessary bounce page iommu APIs
v5->v6:
- The previous v5 was posted here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/24/2134
- Move the per-device dma ops into another seperated series.
- Christoph Hellwig reviewed the patches and add his Reviewed-bys.
- Add Steven Rostedt's Review-by for the trace patch.
- Adress the review comments from Christoph Hellwig.
- This patch series is now based on v5.3-rc2.
v4->v5:
- The previous v4 was posted here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/2/187
- Add per-device dma ops and use bounce buffer specific dma
ops for those untrusted devices.
devices with identity domains -> system default dma ops
trusted devices with dma domains -> iommu/vt-d dma ops

- Address various review comments received since v4.
- This patch series is based on v5.3-rc1.
v3->v4:
- The previous v3 was posted here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/4/20/213
- Discard the optimization of only mapping head and tail
partial pages, use the standard swiotlb in order to achieve
iotlb flush efficiency.
- This patch series is based on the top of the vt-d branch of
Joerg's iommu tree.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/3/27/157
- Reuse the existing swiotlb APIs for bounce buffer by
extending it to support bounce page.
- Move the bouce page APIs into iommu generic layer.
- This patch series is based on 5.1-rc1.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/3/12/66
- Refactor the code to remove struct bounce_param;
- During the v1 review cycle, we discussed the possibility
