[PATCH 1/1] vfio/type1: Limit DMA mappings per container

From: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson at redhat.com>

Memory backed DMA mappings are accounted against a user's locked
memory limit, including multiple mappings of the same memory.  This
accounting bounds the number of such mappings that a user can create.
However, DMA mappings that are not backed by memory, such as DMA
mappings of device MMIO via mmaps, do not make use of page pinning
and therefore do not count against the user's locked memory limit.
These mappings still consume memory, but the memory is not well
associated to the process for the purpose of oom killing a task.

To add bounding on this use case, we introduce a limit to the total
number of concurrent DMA mappings that a user is allowed to create.
This limit is exposed as a tunable module option where the default
value of 64K is expected to be well in excess of any reasonable use
case (a large virtual machine configuration would typically only make
use of tens of concurrent mappings).

This fixes CVE-2019-3882.

CVE-2019-3882

(backported from commit 492855939bdb59c6f947b0b5b44af9ad82b7e38c)
[tyhicks: Backport to 4.4:
 - Minor context differences due to missing blocking notifier from commit
   c086de818dd8 ("vfio iommu: Add blocking notifier to notify DMA_UNMAP")
 - vfio_dma_do_map() doesn't yet have an out_unlock label which was added in
   commit 8f0d5bb95f76 ("vfio iommu type1: Add task structure to vfio_dma")]
