-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: qat - fix DMA transfer direction
When CONFIGDMAAPIDEBUG is selected, while running the crypto self test on the QAT crypto algorithms, the function adddma_entry() reports a warning similar to the one below, saying that overlapping mappings are not supported. This occurs in tests where the input and the output scatter list point to the same buffers (i.e. two different scatter lists which point to the same chunks of memory).
The logic that implements the mapping uses the flag DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL for both the input and the output scatter lists which leads to overlapped write mappings. These are not supported by the DMA layer.
Fix by specifying the correct DMA transfer directions when mapping buffers. For in-place operations where the input scatter list matches the output scatter list, buffers are mapped once with DMABIDIRECTIONAL, otherwise input buffers are mapped using the flag DMATODEVICE and output buffers are mapped with DMAFROMDEVICE. Overlapping a read mapping with a write mapping is a valid case in dma-coherent devices like QAT. The function that frees and unmaps the buffers, qatalgfreebufl() has been changed accordingly to the changes to the mapping function.
