Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] vfio/nvgrace-gpu: Use a core-only open_device in fallback mode
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 10:19:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261015081937.405320-2-parri.andrea@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261015081937.405320-1-parri.andrea@gmail.com>

When the ACPI memory properties are missing or the C2C link is down, the
device is exposed through nvgrace_gpu_pci_core_ops.  That table opens
through nvgrace_gpu_open_device() but closes through
vfio_pci_core_close_device(), so open and close are not symmetric.

nvgrace_gpu_open_device() registers nvdev->usemem for poison handling
unconditionally.  In fallback mode usemem.memlength is zero, and
register_pfn_address_space() inserts a node covering [0, ULONG_MAX].
Nothing removes it: a second open fails with -EBUSY, and once the device
is unbound the node outlives the nvdev that contains it.  The next open
after a rebind reports:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in interval_tree_iter_first+0x209/0x310

   ...

Give the fallback table its own open_device that only calls
vfio_pci_core_enable() and vfio_pci_core_finish_enable(), the
counterpart of vfio_pci_core_close_device().  Fallback mode then never
touches the nvgrace memory regions, as Alex suggested.

This should be safe because the fallback table uses the vfio-pci core
read, write and mmap handlers, so nothing there uses the state
nvgrace_gpu_open_device() sets up.  The one visible difference is that a
fallback open no longer fails when BAR0 cannot be mapped, which matches
vfio-pci.

v2: Replace the usemem.memlength guards with a core-only open_device
    for the fallback table (Alex)
    Ankit confirmed fallback mode does not need the BAR0 check:
