iommu/vt-d: Clean up and fix page table clear/free behaviour There is a race condition between the existing clear/free code and the hardware. The IOMMU is actually permitted to cache the intermediate levels of the page tables, and doesn't need to walk the table from the very top of the PGD each time. So the existing back-to-back calls to dma_pte_clear_range() and dma_pte_free_pagetable() can lead to a use-after-free where the IOMMU reads from a freed page table. When freeing page tables we actually need to do the IOTLB flush, with the 'invalidation hint' bit clear to indicate that it's not just a leaf-node flush, after unlinking each page table page from the next level up but before actually freeing it. So in the rewritten domain_unmap() we just return a list of pages (using pg->freelist to make a list of them), and then the caller is expected to do the appropriate IOTLB flush (or tear down the domain completely, whatever), before finally calling dma_free_pagelist() to free the pages. As an added bonus, we no longer need to flush the CPU's data cache for pages which are about to be *removed* from the page table hierarchy anyway, in the non-cache-coherent case. This drastically improves the performance of large unmaps. As a side-effect of all these changes, this also fixes the fact that intel_iommu_unmap() was neglecting to free the page tables for the range in question after clearing them.
