IOMMU user APIs are responsible for processing user data. This patch changes the interface such that user pointers can be passed into IOMMU code directly. Separate kernel APIs without user pointers are introduced for in-kernel users of the UAPI functionality. IOMMU UAPI data has a user filled argsz field which indicates the data length of the structure. User data is not trusted, argsz must be validated based on the current kernel data size, mandatory data size, and feature flags. User data may also be extended, resulting in possible argsz increase. Backward compatibility is ensured based on size and flags (or the functional equivalent fields) checking. This patch adds sanity checks in the IOMMU layer. In addition to argsz, reserved/unused fields in padding, flags, and version are also checked.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
