DMA attributes | ||
============== | ||
|
||
This document describes the semantics of the DMA attributes that are | ||
defined in linux/dma-attrs.h. | ||
|
||
DMA_ATTR_WRITE_BARRIER | ||
---------------------- | ||
|
||
DMA_ATTR_WRITE_BARRIER is a (write) barrier attribute for DMA. DMA | ||
to a memory region with the DMA_ATTR_WRITE_BARRIER attribute forces | ||
all pending DMA writes to complete, and thus provides a mechanism to | ||
strictly order DMA from a device across all intervening busses and | ||
bridges. This barrier is not specific to a particular type of | ||
interconnect, it applies to the system as a whole, and so its | ||
implementation must account for the idiosyncracies of the system all | ||
the way from the DMA device to memory. | ||
|
||
As an example of a situation where DMA_ATTR_WRITE_BARRIER would be | ||
useful, suppose that a device does a DMA write to indicate that data is | ||
ready and available in memory. The DMA of the "completion indication" | ||
could race with data DMA. Mapping the memory used for completion | ||
indications with DMA_ATTR_WRITE_BARRIER would prevent the race. | ||

Device Whitelist Controller | ||
|
||
1. Description: | ||
|
||
Implement a cgroup to track and enforce open and mknod restrictions | ||
on device files. A device cgroup associates a device access | ||
whitelist with each cgroup. A whitelist entry has 4 fields. | ||
'type' is a (all), c (char), or b (block). 'all' means it applies | ||
to all types and all major and minor numbers. Major and minor are | ||
either an integer or * for all. Access is a composition of r | ||
(read), w (write), and m (mknod). | ||
|
||
The root device cgroup starts with rwm to 'all'. A child device | ||
cgroup gets a copy of the parent. Administrators can then remove | ||
devices from the whitelist or add new entries. A child cgroup can | ||
never receive a device access which is denied its parent. However | ||
when a device access is removed from a parent it will not also be | ||
removed from the child(ren). | ||
|
||
2. User Interface | ||
|
||
An entry is added using devices.allow, and removed using | ||
devices.deny. For instance | ||
|
||
echo 'c 1:3 mr' > /cgroups/1/devices.allow | ||
|
||
allows cgroup 1 to read and mknod the device usually known as | ||
/dev/null. Doing | ||
|
||
echo a > /cgroups/1/devices.deny | ||
|
||
will remove the default 'a *:* mrw' entry. | ||
|
||
3. Security | ||
|
||
Any task can move itself between cgroups. This clearly won't | ||
suffice, but we can decide the best way to adequately restrict | ||
movement as people get some experience with this. We may just want | ||
to require CAP_SYS_ADMIN, which at least is a separate bit from | ||
CAP_MKNOD. We may want to just refuse moving to a cgroup which | ||
isn't a descendent of the current one. Or we may want to use | ||
CAP_MAC_ADMIN, since we really are trying to lock down root. | ||
|
||
CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to modify the whitelist or move another | ||
task to a new cgroup. (Again we'll probably want to change that). | ||
|
||
A cgroup may not be granted more permissions than the cgroup's | ||
parent has. |
