These fix a cluster of bugs reported by Sashiko during patch reviews. The
patches are ordered roughly most-critical-first, so some later ones fix
smaller pre-existing issues in the same functions that earlier patches
touch.
Issues fixed:
- the error ISR racing VINTF (de)init and reading a NULL, freed, or not
yet fully initialized slot
- the probe fallback dereferencing an smmu freed by devm_krealloc()
- a guest vSID programmed without validating its width or the device's
Stream ID count
- VINTF0 leaked on an init-failure path
- error-map index/bounds handling and a VCMDQ base above the 48-bit limit
- the error ISR flooding the kernel log under repeated guest errors
False positives raised by Sashiko:
- a viommu outliving an SMMU unbind and touching freed memory on close: a
physical IOMMU is not a pluggable device, so iommufd holds no reference
on the one behind a viommu, and this teardown cannot arise.
- the ISR running after cmdqv is freed on probe failure: free_irq() runs
first from tegra241_cmdqv_remove(), the devm device_remove action,
which devres invokes before the cmdqv allocation is released.
- a guest never acking its VCMDQ error wedging the shared interrupt: the
interrupt is edge-signaled per event, and the host ISR only snapshots
the error map into the guest's bounded vEVENTQ, never depending on a
guest-side GERRORN ack.
- the ISR accessing a de-assigned LVCMDQ page after a VINTF hw_init()
failure: the page remains a mapped MMIO region backed by empty
registers, so reads are benign and writes are dropped.
In parallel to Shameer's Tegra241 CMDQV CMD_SYNC use-after-free fix:
