intel-iommu: send PSI always even if across PDEs
SECURITY IMPLICATION: without this patch, any guest with both assigned
device and a vIOMMU might encounter stale IO page mappings even if guest
has already unmapped the page, which may lead to guest memory
corruption. The stale mappings will only be limited to the guest's own
memory range, so it should not affect the host memory or other guests on
the host.
During IOVA page table walking, there is a special case when the PSI
covers one whole PDE (Page Directory Entry, which contains 512 Page
Table Entries) or more. In the past, we skip that entry and we don't
notify the IOMMU notifiers. This is not correct. We should send UNMAP
notification to registered UNMAP notifiers in this case.
For UNMAP only notifiers, this might cause IOTLBs cached in the devices
even if they were already invalid. For MAP/UNMAP notifiers like
vfio-pci, this will cause stale page mappings.
This special case doesn't trigger often, but it is very easy to be
triggered by nested device assignments, since in that case we'll
possibly map the whole L2 guest RAM region into the device's IOVA
address space (several GBs at least), which is far bigger than normal
kernel driver usages of the device (tens of MBs normally).
Without this patch applied to L1 QEMU, nested device assignment to L2
guests will dump some errors like:
qemu-system-x86_64: VFIO_MAP_DMA: -17
qemu-system-x86_64: vfio_dma_map(0x557305420c30, 0xad000, 0x1000,
0x7f89a920d000) = -17 (File exists)
