      swiotlb: rework "fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE" · aa6f8dcb
      Halil Pasic authored
      Unfortunately, we ended up merging an old version of the patch "fix info
      leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE" instead of merging the latest one. Christoph
      (the swiotlb maintainer), he asked me to create an incremental fix
      (after I have pointed this out the mix up, and asked him for guidance).
      So here we go.
      
      The main differences between what we got and what was agreed are:
      * swiotlb_sync_single_for_device is also required to do an extra bounce
      * We decided not to introduce DMA_ATTR_OVERWRITE until we have exploiters
      * The implantation of DMA_ATTR_OVERWRITE is flawed: DMA_ATTR_OVERWRITE
        must take precedence over DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC
      
      Thus this patch removes DMA_ATTR_OVERWRITE, and makes
      swiotlb_sync_single_for_device() bounce unconditionally (that is, also
      when dir == DMA_TO_DEVICE) in order do avoid synchronising back stale
      data from the swiotlb buffer.
      
      Let me note, that if the size used with dma_sync_* API is less than the
      size used with dma_[un]map_*, under certain circumstances we may still
      end up with swiotlb not being transparent. In that sense, this is no
      perfect fix either.
      
      To get this bullet proof, we would have to bounce the entire
      mapping/bounce buffer. For that we would have to figure out the starting
      address, and the size of the mapping in
      swiotlb_sync_single_for_device(). While this does seem possible, there
      seems to be no firm consensus on how things are supposed to work.
