[PATCH] swiotlb: use the adjusted address for the highmem page lookup

From: Donggeun Yoo <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-05 08:42:16
Also in: linux-iommu, lkml
Subsystem: dma mapping helpers, the rest · Maintainers: Marek Szyprowski, Linus Torvalds

swiotlb_bounce() reads the page frame number from the slot's recorded
orig_addr, then advances orig_addr by tlb_offset to reach the address
the caller asked about. The highmem branch mixes the two: the offset
within the page comes from the adjusted address, the page from the value
before it.

Once the adjustment crosses a page boundary the pair no longer describes
one location, and the whole copy lands one page below the intended one
for a positive tlb_offset, one above for a negative one. DMA_FROM_DEVICE
writes the device data over the wrong page and leaves the intended one
stale, DMA_TO_DEVICE feeds the device from a page the mapping may not
cover. Partial syncs through dma_sync_single_range_for_*() are what make
tlb_offset non-zero.

The branch test is picked the same way, so a slot recorded in lowmem can
be adjusted into highmem and the lowmem path then hands a highmem
address to phys_to_virt().

Take both from orig_addr once it is final and keep pfn in the branch
that uses it. PhysHighMem() asks the question straight from the address,
as dma-debug already does.

Reproduced under QEMU (qemu-system-arm -M virt, 2G) with a 32-bit ARM
kernel built from multi_v7_defconfig plus CONFIG_ARM_LPAE=y and
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y, which brings in CONFIG_SWIOTLB, booted with
swiotlb=force. A test module maps two highmem pages at page offset 3840,
writes a pattern into the bounce buffer 500 bytes in and calls
dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu() over that range, so that 3840 + 500
crosses into the second page:

  before: swbug: pages pfn=700d4 highmem=1
          swbug: orig phys=700d4f00 (page off 3840)
          swbug: RESULT page0_off=244 page1_off=-1
  after:  swbug: RESULT page0_off=-1 page1_off=244

The pattern lands one page below its intended location without the
change and in the right place with it.
