Title
iommupt: Check for missing PAGE_SIZE in the pgsize_bitmap
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommupt: Check for missing PAGE_SIZE in the pgsize_bitmap Sashiko pointed out that the driver could drop PAGE_SIZE from the pgsize_bitmap. That is technically allowed but nothing does it, and such an iommu_domain would not be used with the DMA API today. Still, it is against the design and it is trivial to fix up. Lift the PT_WARN_ON to the if branch and just skip the fast path.

There is no network-facing entry point.\nAC:L - Once an IOMMU paging domain exists with `PAGE_SIZE` cleared from `pgsize_bitmap`, any `iommu_map()`/`IOMMU_IOAS_MAP` call mapping a single page reliably takes the buggy fast path; the attacker controls mapping requests and needs no races or special memory layout.\nPR:L - Exploitation requires local ability to create IOMMU mappings for a passthrough device (IOMMUFD/VFIO ioctl access and device group permissions), which is available to unprivileged tenants on cloud GPU/NIC passthrough hosts without host root, even though opening `/dev/iommufd` alone is insufficient.\nUI:N - Triggering the flaw is entirely programmatic through IOMMU mapping ioctls; no victim interaction such as mounting a filesystem or opening a file is required.\nS:C - Incorrect leaf PTE installation on an IOMMU domain can break DMA isolation, allowing a device to read/write host physical memory outside its authorized mappings\u2014an IOMMU/DMA security-boundary bypass per kernel CVSS guidance.\nC:H - Malformed or policy-violating IOMMU page-table entries can cause a DMA-capable device to read arbitrary host physical memory beyond the intended IOVA window, constituting arbitrary memory disclosure through the IOMMU bypass primitive.\nI:H - The fast path installs `PAGE_SHIFT` leaf entries even when `PAGE_SIZE` is excluded from `pgsize_bitmap`, corrupting IOMMU translation state and enabling a DMA device to write to unauthorized host physical pages.\nA:N - The flaw corrupts IOMMU translation entries rather than causing a kernel oops, panic, or hang; availability impact is not a primary or reliable outcome of triggering this bug."
