    parisc iommu: fix panic due to trying to allocate too large region · e46e31a3
    Mikulas Patocka authored
    When using the Promise TX2+ SATA controller on PA-RISC, the system often
    crashes with kernel panic, for example just writing data with the dd
    utility will make it crash.
    
    Kernel panic - not syncing: drivers/parisc/sba_iommu.c: I/O MMU @ 000000000000a000 is out of mapping resources

    The cause of the crash is not exhaustion of the IOMMU space, there is
    plenty of free pages. The function sba_alloc_range is called with size
    0x11000, thus the pages_needed variable is 0x11. The function
    sba_search_bitmap is called with bits_wanted 0x11 and boundary size is
    0x10 (because dma_get_seg_boundary(dev) returns 0xffff).
    
    The function sba_search_bitmap attempts to allocate 17 pages that must not
    cross 16-page boundary - it can't satisfy this requirement
    (iommu_is_span_boundary always returns true) and fails even if there are
    many free entries in the IOMMU space.
    
    How did it happen that we try to allocate 17 pages that don't cross
    16-page boundary? The cause is in the function iommu_coalesce_chunks. This
    function tries to coalesce adjacent entries in the scatterlist. The
    function does several checks if it may coalesce one entry with the next,
    one of those checks is this:
    
    	if (startsg->length + dma_len > max_seg_size)
    		break;
    
    When it finishes coalescing adjacent entries, it allocates the mapping:
    
    sg_dma_len(contig_sg) = dma_len;
    dma_len = ALIGN(dma_len + dma_offset, IOVP_SIZE);
    sg_dma_address(contig_sg) =
    	PIDE_FLAG
    	| (iommu_alloc_range(ioc, dev, dma_len) << IOVP_SHIFT)
    	| dma_offset;
    
    It is possible that (startsg->length + dma_len > max_seg_size) is false
    (we are just near the 0x10000 max_seg_size boundary), so the funcion
    decides to coalesce this entry with the next entry. When the coalescing
    succeeds, the function performs
    	dma_len = ALIGN(dma_len + dma_offset, IOVP_SIZE);
    And now, because of non-zero dma_offset, dma_len is greater than 0x10000.
    iommu_alloc_range (a pointer to sba_alloc_range) is called and it attempts
    to allocate 17 pages for a device that must not cross 16-page boundary.
    
    To fix the bug, we must make sure that dma_len after addition of
    dma_offset and alignment doesn't cross the segment boundary. I.e. change
    	if (startsg->length + dma_len > max_seg_size)
    		break;
    to
    	if (ALIGN(dma_len + dma_offset + startsg->length, IOVP_SIZE) > max_seg_size)
    		break;
    
    This patch makes this change (it precalculates max_seg_boundary at the
    beginning of the function iommu_coalesce_chunks). I also added a check
    that the mapping length doesn't exceed dma_get_seg_boundary(dev) (it is
    not needed for Promise TX2+ SATA, but it may be needed for other devices
    that have dma_get_seg_boundary lower than dma_get_max_seg_size).
