Nouveau - Oct 2024 - [PATCH v3 0/2] drm/nouveau/dmem: Fix Vulnerability and Device Channels configuration

From: Yonatan Maman <Ymaman at Nvidia.com>

This patch series addresses two critical issues in the Nouveau driver
related to device channels, error handling, and sensitive data leaks.

- Vulnerability in migrate_to_ram: The migrate_to_ram function might
  return a dirty HIGH_USER page when a copy push command (FW channel)
  fails, potentially exposing sensitive data and posing a security
  risk. To mitigate this, the patch ensures the allocation of a non-dirty
  (zero) page for the destination, preventing the return of a dirty page
  and enhancing driver security in case of failure.

- Privileged Error in Copy Engine Channel: An error was observed when
  the nouveau_dmem_copy_one function is executed, leading to a Host Copy
  Engine Privileged error on channel 1. The patch resolves this by
  adjusting the Copy Engine channel configuration to permit privileged
  push commands, resolving the error.

Changes since V2:
- Fixed version according to Danilo Krummrich's comments.

When `nouveau_dmem_copy_one` is called, the following error occurs:

[272146.675156] nouveau 0000:06:00.0: fifo: PBDMA9: 00000004 [HCE_PRIV]
ch 1 00000300 00003386

This indicates that a copy push command triggered a Host Copy Engine
Privileged error on channel 1 (Copy Engine channel). To address this
issue, modify the Copy Engine channel to allow privileged push commands

From: Yonatan Maman <Ymaman at Nvidia.com>

The `nouveau_dmem_copy_one` function ensures that the copy push command is
sent to the device firmware but does not track whether it was executed
successfully.

In the case of a copy error (e.g., firmware or hardware failure), the
copy push command will be sent via the firmware channel, and
`nouveau_dmem_copy_one` will likely report success, leading to the
`migrate_to_ram` function returning a dirty HIGH_USER page to the user.

This can result in a security vulnerability, as a HIGH_USER page that may
contain sensitive or corrupted data could be returned to the user.

To prevent this vulnerability, we allocate a zero page. Thus, in case of
an error, a non-dirty (zero) page will be returned to the user.
