Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
fall-through markings when it is the case.

<title>vfio/type1: Add proper error unwind for vfio_iommu_replay()</title>

<id>aae7a75a821a793ed6b8ad502a5890fb8e8f172d</id>
<content type='text'>
The vfio_iommu_replay() function does not currently unwind on error,
yet it does pin pages, perform IOMMU mapping, and modify the vfio_dma
structure to indicate IOMMU mapping.  The IOMMU mappings are torn down
when the domain is destroyed, but the other actions go on to cause
trouble later.  For example, the iommu-&gt;domain_list can be empty if we
only have a non-IOMMU backed mdev attached.  We don't currently check
if the list is empty before getting the first entry in the list, which
leads to a bogus domain pointer.  If a vfio_dma entry is erroneously
marked as iommu_mapped, we'll attempt to use that bogus pointer to
retrieve the existing physical page addresses.

This is the scenario that uncovered this issue, attempting to hot-add
a vfio-pci device to a container with an existing mdev device and DMA
mappings, one of which could not be pinned, causing a failure adding
the new group to the existing container and setting the conditions
for a subsequent attempt to explode.

To resolve this, we can first check if the domain_list is empty so
that we can reject replay of a bogus domain, should we ever encounter
this inconsistent state again in the future.  The real fix though is
to add the necessary unwind support, which means cleaning up the
current pinning if an IOMMU mapping fails, then walking back through
the r-b tree of DMA entries, reading from the IOMMU which ranges are
mapped, and unmapping and unpinning those ranges.  To be able to do
this, we also defer marking the DMA entry as IOMMU mapped until all
entries are processed, in order to allow the unwind to know the
disposition of each entry.

<title>vfio-pci: Avoid recursive read-lock usage</title>

<content type='text'>
A down_read on memory_lock is held when performing read/write accesses
to MMIO BAR space, including across the copy_to/from_user() callouts
which may fault.  If the user buffer for these copies resides in an
mmap of device MMIO space, the mmap fault handler will acquire a
recursive read-lock on memory_lock.  Avoid this by reducing the lock
granularity.  Sequential accesses requiring multiple ioread/iowrite
cycles are expected to be rare, therefore typical accesses should not
see additional overhead.

VGA MMIO accesses are expected to be non-fatal regardless of the PCI
memory enable bit to allow legacy probing, this behavior remains with
a comment added.  ioeventfds are now included in memory access testing,
with writes dropped while memory space is disabled.

Add denylist of devices that by default are not probed by vfio-pci.
Devices in this list may be susceptible to untrusted application, even

The denylist can be disabled via the module parameter disable_denylist.

This code was using get_user_pages*(), in a "Case 2" scenario
(DMA/RDMA), using the categorization from [1]. That means that it's
time to convert the get_user_pages*() + put_page() calls to
pin_user_pages*() + unpin_user_pages() calls.

There is some helpful background in [2]: basically, this is a small
part of fixing a long-standing disconnect between pinning pages, and
file systems' use of those pages.

This code was using get_user_pages*(), in a "Case 2" scenario
(DMA/RDMA), using the categorization from [1]. That means that it's
time to convert the get_user_pages*() + put_page() calls to
pin_user_pages*() + unpin_user_pages() calls.

There is some helpful background in [2]: basically, this is a small
part of fixing a long-standing disconnect between pinning pages, and
file systems' use of those pages.
