Userptr BOs wrap pinned user pages in a private dma-buf solely for internal use by the NPU driver. Allowing userspace to re-export such a BO via DRM_IOCTL_PRIME_HANDLE_TO_FD would expose those pages to other drivers through an interface that was never intended to be shared.

Override the driver's prime_handle_to_fd callback to detect dma-bufs backed by ivpu_gem_userptr_dmabuf_ops and reject the export with -EINVAL.

Hi Christian

first of all thanks a lot for pointing that out! The patch which orginally added that somehow slipped through the cracks.

Then @Karol and @Jacek, using DMA-buf like that is a pretty big NO-GO from the DMA-buf side!

Using page which you don't own (especially file system backend ones) in a DMA-buf is absolutely *NOT* something you can do.

I hope that it is not the case here, but if you also allow to mmap() them then you have create a massive security problem which can lead to random file system corruptions.

This is not allowed, ivpu userpointer dma_buf_ops have no .mmap handler, this results in -EINVAL when invoked.

Regards, Karol

Regards, Christian.
