commit 0ec8ce07394442d722806fe61b901a5b2b17249d upstream.
When the idxd_user_drv driver is bound to a Work Queue (WQ) device without IOMMU or with IOMMU Passthrough without Shared Virtual Addressing (SVA), the application gains direct access to physical memory via the device by programming physical address to a submitted descriptor. This allows direct userspace read and write access to arbitrary physical memory. This is inconsistent with the security goals of a good kernel API.
Unlike vfio_pci driver, the IDXD char device driver does not provide any ways to pin user pages and translate the address from user VA to IOVA or PA without IOMMU SVA. Therefore the application has no way to instruct the device to perform DMA function. This makes the char device not usable for normal application usage.
Since user type WQ without SVA cannot be used for normal application usage and presents the security issue, bind idxd_user_drv driver and enable user type WQ only when SVA is enabled (i.e. user PASID is enabled).
