Consider the case where the page represents a huge page, then an
offset greater than PAGE_SIZE (up to HPAGE_SIZE) makes sense.

  Okay, but whatever the underlaying Page Size is, should [Offset,
Offset+Length) completely reside within the referenced Page?  I'm just
trying to understand the Invariance Conditions which are assumed by all of
the code which processes Scatter/gather Lists ...

As far as I can see "Offset can be greater than PAGE_SIZE" is the only
safe assumption for core code.

It seems completely bogus to me, but if it is the current assumption
we'll have to document it.  But this brings me back to that
our scatterlists are a pretty horrible data structure to start
with as they try to mix virtual and physical addressing together.

We'd be much better of by passing a chain of bio_vecs where we
just need virtual addresses, a chain of [bus_addr,len] pairs where
we just need a physical address, and both where we need both instead
of this giant structure that tries to do both at the same time..

In this specific case, it appears that 

scatterwalk_ffwd()->sg_set_page()

sg_set_page(dst, sg_page(src), src->length - len, src->offset + len);

and 

static inline void sg_set_page(struct scatterlist *sg, struct page *page,
                   unsigned int len, unsigned int offset)
{
    sg_assign_page(sg, page);
    sg->offset = offset;
    sg->length = len;
}

The src->offset + len seems to be the culprit putting it past the page.
Looks like in the cases when it breaks, the offset is already towards
the end of page.. and adding the len, puts it over the limit.

When dealing with the offset > PAGE_SIZE, is the expectation you have another
additional entry for sgl? for e.g.

if sg->page = X, and offset=4092. and len = 16. Since IOMMU only understands
4K pages this last entry needs to be adjusted?

I'm not sure if the offset+len is a buffer overflow situation or just 
trips IOMMU.

Hey Raj,

  Let us know if you need help in gathering more debugging information.  For
the time being we've decided to ERRATA the use of the Intel I/O MMU with
IPsec till we Root Cause the issue.  But this is still at the top of Harsh's
bug list.
 
  With Robin's comments, I'm almost sure that the:

    (iov_pfn + sg->offset) << VTD_PAGE_SHIFT)

in your suggested patch is an issue.  iov_pfn is a Page Frame Number and
sg->offset is a Byte Offset.  It feels like this should be:

    size_t page_off = sg->offset & ~VTD_PAGE_MASK;
    unsigned long pfn_off = sg->offset >> VTD_PAGE_MASK;
    ...
    sg->dma_address = ((dma_addr_t)
                       (iov_pfn + pfn_off) << VTD_PAGE_SHIFT) + page_off;

When Harsh tried your original patch, Harsh' test system wouldn't even boot.

Hi Casey

looking at the debug output i got from Harsh it still looks like
a bug in the code.

[  538.284600] __domain_mapping sg_res 0x1 sg->dma_address 0xf291000e dma len 0x38 pteval 0x3cbce3003 phys_pfn 0x3cbce3

[  538.290017] DMAR: [DMA Write] Request device [02:00.4] fault addr f2910000 [fault reason 05] PTE Write access is not set

somehow when crypto_authenc_encrypt() -> scatterwalk_ffwd()-> sg_set_page()

->sg_set_page(dst, sg_page(src), src->length - len, src->offset + len);

src->offset + len gets set as sg->offset in sg_set_page(). Either the 
assumption that there should be room is incorrect, or some higher order crypto
code that ends up setting the offset did the wrong calculation.

if src->offset is already towards the end of the page, then offset+len will
go beyond the end of page.

true, but this is the IOVA- IO Virtual address generated by the 
dma_map call. Thought in cases when sg->offset is beyond a page, then 
the new iov_pfn should fall on the next page. But we can't randomly adjust
here, unless IOMMU has also allocated IOVA for the page overflow.

Ashok

Input received from user(Here XFRM) contains AAD(Additional Authentication data) || DATA(enc/dec) || Tag(hash). before passing input
to Cipher engine(chelsio) crypto_authenc_encrypt has to skip AAD which is 16 in our case. To skip that 16 bytes they simply incremented offset by 16. 
I think Robin is right DMA mapping should handle it.

OK I was mistaken.  While SG lists can contain entries that are
larger than PAGE_SIZE, there is no reason why scatterwalk_ffwd
should gratuitously insert a page_offset that is greater than
PAGE_SIZE.

Harsh, can you please submit your original patch with a sign-off?

Today I tried with "Intel_iommu=sp_off" boot option. Traffic runs without any error for more than 1 hrs. What magic this option did? :)
