[PATCH v2] drm/cirrus-qemu: Validate BAR0 size during probe

COLD41d

From: Slawomir Stepien <hidden>

Subsystem: drm driver for qemu's cirrus device, drm drivers, drm drivers and misc gpu patches, the rest · Maintainers: Dave Airlie, Gerd Hoffmann, David Airlie, Simona Vetter, Maarten Lankhorst, Maxime Ripard, Thomas Zimmermann, Linus Torvalds

The `cirrus-qemu` driver relies on `CIRRUS_VRAM_SIZE` (4 MB) to validate
framebuffer sizes. However, during PCI probe, the driver mapped BAR0
without verifying that its size matches `CIRRUS_VRAM_SIZE`.

If a PCI device with a BAR0 smaller than 4 MB is bound to the driver, the
mapped VRAM will be smaller than expected. Because validation checks assume
4 MB VRAM, framebuffers larger than the mapped memory can be created.

When the display plane is updated (e.g. during release),
`cirrus_primary_plane_helper_atomic_update()` copies the framebuffer to
VRAM using `drm_fb_memcpy()`. Writing past the end of the mapped I/O memory
causes a supervisor write page fault:

BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc9000389c000

Fix this by validating in `cirrus_pci_probe()` that the PCI BAR0 resource
is not less than `CIRRUS_VRAM_SIZE`, returning `-ENODEV` if it is less.

v2:
* move the check before aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_devices() as suggested by sashiko.
* check if the pci_resource_len() for BAR0 is less than CIRRUS_VRAM_SIZE as suggested by Thomas. The
  qemu emulates 4, (8 and 16 MB for compatibility) - never less than 4MB.

v1:
