  Commit bbb73a103fbb ("swiotlb: fix a braino in the alignment check fix"),
which was a fix for commit 0eee5ae10256 ("swiotlb: fix slot alignment
checks"), causes a functional regression with vsock in a virtual machine
using bouncing via a restricted DMA SWIOTLB pool.

When virtio allocates the virtqueues for the vsock device using
dma_alloc_coherent(), the SWIOTLB search fails to take into account the
8KiB buffer size and returns page-unaligned allocations if 'area->index'
was left unaligned by a previous allocation from the buffer:

 # Final address in brackets is the SWIOTLB address returned to the caller
 | virtio-pci 0000:00:07.0: orig_addr 0x0 alloc_size 0x2000, iotlb_align_mask 0x800 stride 0x2: got slot 1645-1649/7168 (0x98326800)
 | virtio-pci 0000:00:07.0: orig_addr 0x0 alloc_size 0x2000, iotlb_align_mask 0x800 stride 0x2: got slot 1649-1653/7168 (0x98328800)
 | virtio-pci 0000:00:07.0: orig_addr 0x0 alloc_size 0x2000, iotlb_align_mask 0x800 stride 0x2: got slot 1653-1657/7168 (0x9832a800)

This ends in tears (typically buffer corruption and/or a hang) because
swiotlb_alloc() blindly returns a pointer to the 'struct page'
corresponding to the allocation and therefore the first half of the page
ends up being allocated twice.

Fix the problem by treating the allocation alignment separately to any
additional alignment requirements from the device, using the maximum
of the two as the stride to search the buffer slots.

Hmm, but isn't this fundamentally swiotlb_alloc()'s fault for assuming 
it's going to get a page-aligned address back despite asking for 0 
alignment in the first place? I'm not sure SWIOTLB has ever promised 
implicit size-alignment, so it feels somewhat misplaced to be messing 
with the algorithm before fixing the obvious issue in the caller :/

Cheers,
Robin.

Bah, I accidentally dropped this 'continue' when addressing the review
comments, so I'll add it back in v3.

Hey Robin,

Cheers for having a look.

It's hard to tell which guarantees are intentional here given that this
interface is all internal to swiotlb.c, but the 'alloc_align_mask'
parameter didn't even exist prior to e81e99bacc9f ("swiotlb: Support
aligned swiotlb buffers") and practically the implementation has ensured
page-aligned allocations for buffers >= PAGE_SIZE prior to 0eee5ae10256
("swiotlb: fix slot alignment checks") by virtue of aligning the search
index to the stride.

In any case, this patch is required because the current state of
swiotlb_search_pool_area() conflates the DMA alignment mask, the
allocation alignment mask and the stride so that even if a non-zero
'alloc_align_mask' is passed in, it won't necessarily be honoured.

For example, I just gave it a spin with only patch #3 and then this log:

Becomes:

  | virtio-pci 0000:00:07.0: alloc_size 0x2000, iotlb_align_mask 0x1800 stride 0x4: got slot 1645-1649/7168 (0x98326800)

So even though the stride is correct, we still end up with a 2KiB aligned
allocation.

Cheers,

Will

Sure, I didn't mean to suggest there wasn't anything to fix here - if 
the existing code was intending to align to PAGE_SIZE even for a 
alloc_align_mask=0 and failing then that's clearly its own bug - I'm 
mostly being confused by the example of returning an unsuitably-aligned 
address for an 8KB dma_alloc_coherent() 75% of the time, if the end 
result of this fix is that we'll *still* return an incorrectly-aligned 
buffer for that same request 50% of the time (which just happens to be 
less fatal), since there are two separate bugs in that path.

Cheers,
Robin.

I'll have a go at improving the commit message a bit, since I wrote that
before I'd really appreciated that we weren't returning natural alignment
(and page-alignment seems to be sufficient for whatever vsock needs).

Thanks,

Will
