Since commit ebff7d8f270d ("mem hotunplug: fix kfree() of bootmem
memory"), we could get a resource allocated during boot via
alloc_resource().  And it's required to release the resource using
free_resource().  Howerver, many people use kfree directly which will
result in kernel BUG.  In order to fix this without fixing every call
site, just leak a couple of bytes in such corner case.

<title>kernel/resource: disallow access to exclusive system RAM regions</title>

<content type='text'>
virtio-mem dynamically exposes memory inside a device memory region as
system RAM to Linux, coordinating with the hypervisor which parts are
actually "plugged" and consequently usable/accessible.

On the one hand, the virtio-mem driver adds/removes whole memory blocks,
creating/removing busy IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM resources, on the other
hand, it logically (un)plugs memory inside added memory blocks,
dynamically either exposing them to the buddy or hiding them from the
buddy and marking them PG_offline.

In contrast to physical devices, like a DIMM, the virtio-mem driver is
required to actually make use of any of the device-provided memory,
because it performs the handshake with the hypervisor.  virtio-mem
memory cannot simply be access via /dev/mem without a driver.

There is no safe way to:
a) Access plugged memory blocks via /dev/mem, as they might contain
   unplugged holes or might get silently unplugged by the virtio-mem
   driver and consequently turned inaccessible.
b) Access unplugged memory blocks via /dev/mem because the virtio-mem
   driver is required to make them actually accessible first.

The virtio-spec states that unplugged memory blocks MUST NOT be written,
and only selected unplugged memory blocks MAY be read.  We want to make
sure, this is the case in sane environments -- where the virtio-mem driver
was loaded.

We want to make sure that in a sane environment, nobody "accidentially"
accesses unplugged memory inside the device managed region.  For example,
a user might spot a memory region in /proc/iomem and try accessing it via
/dev/mem via gdb or dumping it via something else.  By the time the mmap()
happens, the memory might already have been removed by the virtio-mem
driver silently: the mmap() would succeeed and user space might
accidentially access unplugged memory.

So once the driver was loaded and detected the device along the
device-managed region, we just want to disallow any access via /dev/mem to
it.

In an ideal world, we would mark the whole region as busy ("owned by a
driver") and exclude it; however, that would be wrong, as we don't really
have actual system RAM at these ranges added to Linux ("busy system RAM").
Instead, we want to mark such ranges as "not actual busy system RAM but
still soft-reserved and prepared by a driver for future use."

Let's teach iomem_is_exclusive() to reject access to any range with
"IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM | IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE", even if not busy and even
if "iomem=relaxed" is set.  Introduce EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM to make it
easier for applicable drivers to depend on this setting in their Kconfig.

For now, there are no applicable ranges and we'll modify virtio-mem next
to properly set IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE on the parent resource container it
creates to contain all actual busy system RAM added via
add_memory_driver_managed().

<title>kernel/resource: clean up and optimize iomem_is_exclusive()</title>

Patch series "virtio-mem: disallow mapping virtio-mem memory via /dev/mem", v5.

Let's add the basic infrastructure to exclude some physical memory regions
marked as "IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM" completely from /dev/mem access, even
though they are not marked IORESOURCE_BUSY and even though "iomem=relaxed"
is set.  Resource IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE for that purpose instead of adding
new flags to express something similar to "soft-busy" or "not busy yet,
but already prepared by a driver and not to be mapped by user space".

Use it for virtio-mem, to disallow mapping any virtio-mem memory via
/dev/mem to user space after the virtio-mem driver was loaded.

This patch (of 3):

We end up traversing subtrees of ranges we are not interested in; let's
optimize this case, skipping such subtrees, cleaning up the function a
bit.

For example, in the following configuration (/proc/iomem):

  00000000-00000fff : Reserved
  00001000-00057fff : System RAM
  00058000-00058fff : Reserved
  00059000-0009cfff : System RAM
  0009d000-000fffff : Reserved
     000a0000-000bffff : PCI Bus 0000:00
     000c0000-000c3fff : PCI Bus 0000:00
     000c4000-000c7fff : PCI Bus 0000:00
     000c8000-000cbfff : PCI Bus 0000:00
     000cc000-000cffff : PCI Bus 0000:00
     000d0000-000d3fff : PCI Bus 0000:00
     000d4000-000d7fff : PCI Bus 0000:00
     000d8000-000dbfff : PCI Bus 0000:00
     000dc000-000dffff : PCI Bus 0000:00
     000e0000-000e3fff : PCI Bus 0000:00
     000e4000-000e7fff : PCI Bus 0000:00
     000e8000-000ebfff : PCI Bus 0000:00
     000ec000-000effff : PCI Bus 0000:00
     000f0000-000fffff : PCI Bus 0000:00
       000f0000-000fffff : System ROM
  00100000-3fffffff : System RAM
  40000000-403fffff : Reserved
     40000000-403fffff : pnp 00:00
  40400000-80a79fff : System RAM
  ...

We don't have to look at any children of "0009d000-000fffff : Reserved"
if we can just skip these 15 items directly because the parent range is
not of interest.

<title>kernel/resource: fix return code check in __request_free_mem_region</title>

Splitting an earlier version of a patch that allowed calling
__request_region() while holding the resource lock into a series of
patches required changing the return code for the newly introduced
__request_region_locked().

Unfortunately this change was not carried through to a subsequent commit
56fd94919b8b ("kernel/resource: fix locking in request_free_mem_region")
in the series.  This resulted in a use-after-free due to freeing the
struct resource without properly releasing it.  Fix this by correcting the
return code check so that the struct is not freed if the request to add it
was successful.

request_free_mem_region() is used to find an empty range of physical
addresses for hotplugging ZONE_DEVICE memory.  It does this by iterating
over the range of possible addresses using region_intersects() to see if
the range is free before calling request_mem_region() to allocate the
region.

However the resource_lock is dropped between these two calls meaning by
the time request_mem_region() is called in request_free_mem_region()
another thread may have already reserved the requested region.  This
results in unexpected failures and a message in the kernel log from
hitting this condition:

        /*
         * mm/hmm.c reserves physical addresses which then
         * become unavailable to other users.  Conflicts are
         * not expected.  Warn to aid debugging if encountered.
         */
        if (conflict-&gt;desc == IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY) {
                pr_warn("Unaddressable device %s %pR conflicts with %pR",
                        conflict-&gt;name, conflict, res);

These unexpected failures can be corrected by holding resource_lock across
the two calls.  This also requires memory allocation to be performed prior
to taking the lock.

This will be used in a future fix to __request_free_mem_region().

All functions that search for IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM or IORESOURCE_MEM
resources now properly consider the whole resource tree, not just the
first level.  Let's drop the unused first_lvl / siblings_only logic.

Remove documentation that indicates that some functions behave differently,
all consider the full resource tree now.

<title>kernel/resource: make walk_mem_res() find all busy IORESOURCE_MEM resources</title>

It used to be true that we can have system RAM (IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM |
IORESOURCE_BUSY) only on the first level in the resource tree.  However,
this is no longer holds for driver-managed system RAM (i.e., added via
dax/kmem and virtio-mem), which gets added on lower levels, for example,
inside device containers.

IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM is defined as IORESOURCE_MEM | IORESOURCE_SYSRAM and
just a special type of IORESOURCE_MEM.

The function walk_mem_res() only considers the first level and is used in
arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:__ioremap_check_mem() only.  We currently fail to
identify System RAM added by dax/kmem and virtio-mem as
"IORES_MAP_SYSTEM_RAM", for example, allowing for remapping of such
"normal RAM" in __ioremap_caller().

Let's find all IORESOURCE_MEM | IORESOURCE_BUSY resources, making the
function behave similar to walk_system_ram_res().
