However iommufd now permits the domain to change while the driver is probed and VFIO userspace can create races with IRQ changes calling iommu_dma_prepare/compose_msi_msg() and changing/freeing the iommu_domain.
and is it safe in iommu_dma_prepare_msi()?
iommu_dma_prepare_msi() takes the group mutex:
int iommu_dma_prepare_msi(struct msi_desc *desc, phys_addr_t msi_addr) { struct device *dev = msi_desc_to_dev(desc); struct iommu_group *group = dev->iommu_group;
mutex_lock(&group->mutex); if (group->domain && group->domain->sw_msi) ret = group->domain->sw_msi(group->domain, desc, msi_addr);
Which prevents changing domain attachments during execution.
For iommufd, if the domain attachment changes immediately after iommu_dma_prepare_msi() unlocks, then the information given to msi_desc_set_iommu_msi_iova() is still valid on the new domain.
This is because the iommufd implementation of sw_msi keeps the same IOVA for the same ITS page globally across all domains. Any racing change of domain will attach a new domain with the right ITS IOVA already mapped and populated.
It is why this series stops using the domain pointer as a cookie inside the msi_desc, immediately after the group->mutex is unlocked a new domain can be attached and the old domain can be freed, which would UAF the domain pointer in the cookie.

you may add kernel doc comments above
I wondered if internal stuff was not being documented as the old iommu_cookie didn't have a comment..
But sure:
