Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommufd: Take dma_resv lock before dma_buf_unpin() in release path
dma_buf_unpin() requires the caller to hold the exporter's dma_resv
lock:
void dma_buf_unpin(struct dma_buf_attachment *attach)
{
...
dma_resv_assert_held(dmabuf->resv);
...
}
iopt_release_pages() calls dma_buf_unpin() without taking that lock,
so every iommufd_ioas_destroy()/iommufd_ioas_unmap() that releases
the last reference on a DMABUF-backed iopt_pages triggers a WARN.
This was hit while running tools/testing/selftests/iommu/iommufd:
WARNING: drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c:1137 at dma_buf_unpin+0x62/0x70
RIP: 0010:dma_buf_unpin+0x62/0x70

</TASK>
Take the dma_resv lock around dma_buf_unpin() in iopt_release_pages(),
matching the iopt_map_dmabuf() convention. dma_buf_detach() acquires the
reservation lock internally, so it must remain outside the locked region.
