[PATCH v8 2/2] IB/core: use MAP_DIRECT to fix / enable RDMA to DAX mappings

Dan Williams dan.j.williams at intel.com
Sun Oct 8 04:04:04 UTC 2017


Currently the ibverbs core in the kernel is completely unaware of the
dangers of filesystem-DAX mappings. Specifically, the filesystem is free
to move file blocks at will. In the case of DAX, it means that RDMA to a
given file offset can dynamically switch to another file offset, another
file, or free space with no notification to RDMA device to cease
operations. Historically, this lack of communication between the ibverbs
core and filesystem was not a problem because RDMA always targeted
dynamically allocated page cache, so at least the RDMA device would have
valid memory to target even if the file was being modified. With DAX we
need to add coordination since RDMA is bypassing page-cache and going
direct to on-media pages of the file. RDMA to DAX can cause damage if
filesystem blocks move / change state.

Use the new ->lease_direct() operation to get a notification when the
filesystem is invalidating the block map of the file and needs RDMA
operations to stop. Given that the kernel can not be in a position where
it needs to wait indefinitely for userspace to stop a device we need a
mechanism where the kernel can force-revoke access. Towards that end, use
the dma_get_iommu_domain() to both check if the device has domain
mappings that can be invalidated and retrieve the iommu_domain for use
with iommu_unmap.

Once we have that assurance that we can block in-flight I/O when the
file's block map changes then we can safely allow RDMA to DAX.

Changes since v7:
* Switch from dma_has_iommu() to dma_get_iommu_domain().
* Switch from dma_unmap_sg() at lease break time, to iommu_unmap() so
  that the IOVA remains allocated while the device might still be
  sending transactions.
