In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:powerpc/pseries/iommu: IOMMU table is not initialized for kdump over SR-IOVWhen kdump kernel tries to copy dump data over SR-IOV, LPAR panics due
to NULL pointer exception:Kernel attempted to read user page (0) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)

kernel, DDWs (Dynamic DMA Windows) are scanned and added to the FDT.
For the SR-IOV case, default DMA window "ibm,dma-window" is removed from
the FDT and DDW added, for the device.Now, kexec hands over control to the kdump kernel.When the kdump kernel initializes, PCI busses are scanned and IOMMU
group/tables created, in pci_dma_bus_setup_pSeriesLP(). For the SR-IOV
case, there is no "ibm,dma-window". The original commit: b1fc44eaa9ba,
fixes the path where memory is pre-mapped (direct mapped) to the DDW.
When TCEs are direct mapped, there is no need to initialize IOMMU
tables.iommu_table_setparms_lpar() only considers "ibm,dma-window" property
when initiallizing IOMMU table. In the scenario where TCEs are
dynamically allocated for SR-IOV, newly created IOMMU table is not
initialized. Later, when the device driver tries to enter TCEs for the
SR-IOV device, NULL pointer execption is thrown from iommu_area_alloc().The fix is to initialize the IOMMU table with DDW property stored in the
FDT. There are 2 points to remember:
