vringh_iov_pull_iotlb() returns a signed byte count.  A failed TX pull is
currently added to the unsigned byte counter and then passed as a size_t
length to receive_filter() and vringh_iov_push_iotlb().  A negative error
can therefore become a large length in the RX path.

Handle non-positive pull results before every length use.  Count the TX
error and complete the consumed TX descriptor with zero bytes.

I found this bug myself, though the patch was written with AI assistance.

<title>vdpa_sim_blk: reject out-of-range sector starts</title>

vdpasim_blk_check_range() logs an invalid start sector but continues
validating the request.  The subsequent unsigned capacity subtraction can
underflow and let an out-of-range buffer offset reach the data path.

The invalid offset is used by three request paths.  VIRTIO_BLK_T_OUT
copies guest data to blk-&gt;buffer + offset through
vringh_iov_pull_iotlb(), causing an out-of-bounds write in
_copy_from_iter() or memcpy().  VIRTIO_BLK_T_IN copies from
blk-&gt;buffer + offset to the guest through vringh_iov_push_iotlb(),
causing an out-of-bounds read in _copy_to_iter().
VIRTIO_BLK_T_WRITE_ZEROES passes blk-&gt;buffer + offset to memset(),
causing an out-of-bounds write.

Reject starts at or beyond the capacity before the subtraction.  Treat the
capacity boundary as invalid because the IN and OUT paths round byte counts
down to sectors for validation but later copy the original byte counts.  A
sub-sector request at the capacity boundary would otherwise still access
past the end of the buffer.

I found this bug myself, though the patch was written with AI assistance.

vdpasim_dma_map() updates the IOTLB and the passthrough (iommu_pt)
state under iommu_lock.  vdpasim_dma_unmap() clears iommu_pt and
resets the IOTLB before taking iommu_lock, then deletes the mapping
while holding the lock.

A concurrent dma_map(), dma_unmap(), or reset path that also touches
the same address space can therefore observe or modify the IOTLB and
iommu_pt state without consistent locking.

Perform the passthrough transition and range deletion under the same
iommu_lock scope, matching dma_map().

vdpasim_kick_vq() sets pending_kick when a virtqueue is kicked while
the device is suspended (!running but DRIVER_OK).  vdpasim_resume()
later replays kicks for all virtqueues when pending_kick is set.

vdpasim_do_reset() clears running and status but leaves pending_kick
unchanged.  If a kick is deferred during suspend and the device is
reset before resume, a later resume can spuriously kick every
virtqueue even though no new work was queued after reset.

Clear pending_kick in vdpasim_do_reset() together with the other
device state that must not survive a reset.

<title>vdpa_sim: fix cleanup after worker creation failure</title>

vdpasim_create() leaves vdpasim-&gt;worker as an ERR_PTR when
kthread_run_worker() fails. The error path then drops the device
reference, which releases the partially initialized simulator.

vdpasim_free() unconditionally passes the worker pointer to
kthread_destroy_worker(), so the ERR_PTR is dereferenced and can trigger
a general protection fault.

Store the worker error, clear the pointer, and only clean up the worker
when it was successfully initialized. Also make the release path tolerate
partially initialized objects by guarding virtqueue and IOTLB cleanup,
since the same release path can be reached from other initialization
failures.

I found this bug myself, though the patch was written with AI assistance.

<title>vhost_iotlb: bound map allocation in add_range</title>

vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx() only retires an old entry when the table
has a non-zero limit, has exactly reached that limit and has
VHOST_IOTLB_FLAG_RETIRE set. Non-retiring tables can keep allocating
entries after reaching their configured limit.

Existing vhost devices allocate their IOTLB with max_iotlb_entries from
vhost.c, which defaults to 2048 and is tunable by module parameter. Use
the caller-provided limit at the allocation point instead of adding a
separate default in the common IOTLB helper, and reject non-positive
values in vhost paths that can report an error.

Other vhost IOTLB users should not create zero-limit tables when entries
can be populated from userspace or guest-controlled requests. Add
caller-side max_iotlb_entries parameters for mlx5 vDPA, VDUSE and
vhost-vDPA. Reject non-positive VDUSE and vhost-vDPA values, and require
at least two entries for vdpa_sim and mlx5 vDPA paths that install
full-range mappings, since those mappings are split into two IOTLB
entries.

Handle full-range mappings in the common helper by checking that the
IOTLB can hold both split entries before inserting the first half. This
avoids returning an error after leaving a half mapping behind.

When the table is full, keep the existing retire behavior for retiring
tables and return -ENOSPC for non-retiring tables. Reuse the retired map
node instead of freeing it and allocating a replacement, so a stream of
IOTLB updates cannot keep forcing GFP_ATOMIC allocations after the table
has reached its limit. If a zero-limit IOTLB still reaches the common
helper, treat it as a configuration error and return -EINVAL.

I found this bug myself, though the patch was written with AI assistance.

Use root_device_register() to allocate and register the root device
instead of open coding using a static device.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.
