commit 89da619bc18d79bca5304724c11d4ba3b67ce2c6 upstream.

Kernel panic when with high memory pressure, calltrace looks like,

It happens in the pagefault and results in double pagefault
during compacting pages when memory allocation fails.

Analysed the vmcore, the page leads to second pagefault is corrupted
with _mapcount=-256, but private=0.

It's caused by the race between migration and ballooning, and lock
missing in virtballoon_migratepage() of virtio_balloon driver.
This patch fix the bug.

commit f0bb2d50dfcc519f06f901aac88502be6ff1df2c upstream.

The latest gcc-7.0.1 snapshot reports a new warning:

virtio/virtio_balloon.c: In function 'update_balloon_stats':
virtio/virtio_balloon.c:258:26: error: 'events[2]' is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
virtio/virtio_balloon.c:260:26: error: 'events[3]' is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
virtio/virtio_balloon.c:261:56: error: 'events[18]' is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
virtio/virtio_balloon.c:262:56: error: 'events[17]' is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]

This seems absolutely right, so we should add an extra check to
prevent copying uninitialized stack data into the statistics.
&gt;From all I can tell, this has been broken since the statistics code
was originally added in 2.6.34.

<title>virtio_balloon: init 1st buffer in stats vq</title>

<id>urn:sha1:927d04793f8a587532a5c26057bcdcb33bc8f5ba</id>
<content type='text'>
commit fc8653228c8588a120f6b5dad6983b7b61ff669e upstream.

When init_vqs runs, virtio_balloon.stats is either uninitialized or
contains stale values. The host updates its state with garbage data
because it has no way of knowing that this is just a marker buffer
used for signaling.

This patch updates the stats before pushing the initial buffer.

Alternative fixes:
* Push an empty buffer in init_vqs. Not easily done with the current
  virtio implementation and violates the spec "Driver MUST supply the
  same subset of statistics in all buffers submitted to the statsq".
* Push a buffer with invalid tags in init_vqs. Violates the same
  spec clause, plus "invalid tag" is not really defined.

Note: the spec says:
	When using the legacy interface, the device SHOULD ignore all values in
	the first buffer in the statsq supplied by the driver after device
	initialization. Note: Historically, drivers supplied an uninitialized
	buffer in the first buffer.

Unfortunately QEMU does not seem to implement the recommendation
even for the legacy interface.

<content type='text'>
commit 0ea1e4a6d9b62cf29e210d2b4ba9fd43917522e3 upstream.

According to the spec, if the VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX feature bit is
negotiated the driver MUST set flags to 0. Not dirtying the available
ring in virtqueue_disable_cb also has a minor positive performance
impact, improving L1 dcache load missed by ~0.5% in vring_bench.

Writes to the used event field (vring_used_event) are still unconditional.

commit 58625edf9e2515ed41dac2a24fa8004030a87b87 upstream.

When using the indirect buffers feature, 'desc' is allocated in
virtqueue_add() but isn't freed before leaving on a ring full error,
causing a memory leak.

For example, it seems rather clear that this can trigger
with virtio net if mergeable buffers are not used.

commit 37cf99e08c6fb4dcea0f9ad2b13b6daa8c76a711 upstream.

The balloon has a special mechanism that is subscribed to the oom
notification which leads to deflation for a fixed number of pages.
The number is always fixed even when the balloon is fully deflated.
But leak_balloon did not expect that the pages to deflate will be more
than taken, and raise a "BUG" in balloon_page_dequeue when page list
will be empty.

So, the simplest solution would be to check that the number of releases
pages is less or equal to the number taken pages.

commit 87c9403b0d1de4676b0bd273eea68fcf6de68e68 upstream.

Everything should be LE when using virtio-1, but
the linux balloon driver does not seem to care about that.

commit 2989be09a8a9d62a785137586ad941f916e08f83 upstream.

KASan detected a use-after-free error in virtio-pci remove code. In
virtio_pci_remove(), vp_dev is still used after being freed in
unregister_virtio_device() (in virtio_pci_release_dev() more
precisely).

To fix, keep a reference until cleanup is done.
