KVM: Don't clobber irqfd routing type when deassigning irqfd

2026-02-11T12:40:17+00:00

commit b4d37cdb77a0015f51fee083598fa227cc07aaf1 upstream. When deassigning a KVM_IRQFD, don't clobber the irqfd's copy of the IRQ's routing entry as doing so breaks kvm_arch_irq_bypass_del_producer() on x86 and arm64, which explicitly look for KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_MSI. Instead, to handle a concurrent routing update, verify that the irqfd is still active before consuming the routing information. As evidenced by the x86 and arm64 bugs, and another bug in kvm_arch_update_irqfd_routing() (see below), clobbering the entry type without notifying arch code is surprising and error prone. As a bonus, checking that the irqfd is active provides a convenient location for documenting _why_ KVM must not consume the routing entry for an irqfd that is in the process of being deassigned: once the irqfd is deleted from the list (which happens *before* the eventfd is detached), it will no longer receive updates via kvm_irq_routing_update(), and so KVM could deliver an event using stale routing information (relative to KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING returning to userspace). As an even better bonus, explicitly checking for the irqfd being active fixes a similar bug to the one the clobbering is trying to prevent: if an irqfd is deactivated, and then its routing is changed, kvm_irq_routing_update() won't invoke kvm_arch_update_irqfd_routing() (because the irqfd isn't in the list). And so if the irqfd is in bypass mode, IRQs will continue to be posted using the old routing information. As for kvm_arch_irq_bypass_del_producer(), clobbering the routing type results in KVM incorrectly keeping the IRQ in bypass mode, which is especially problematic on AMD as KVM tracks IRQs that are being posted to a vCPU in a list whose lifetime is tied to the irqfd. Without the help of KASAN to detect use-after-free, the most common sympton on AMD is a NULL pointer deref in amd_iommu_update_ga() due to the memory for irqfd structure being re-allocated and zeroed, resulting in irqfd->irq_bypass_data being NULL when read by avic_update_iommu_vcpu_affinity(): BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000018 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 40cf2b9067 P4D 40cf2b9067 PUD 408362a067 PMD 0 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU: 6 UID: 0 PID: 40383 Comm: vfio_irq_test Tainted: G U W O 6.19.0-smp--5dddc257e6b2-irqfd #31 NONE Tainted: [U]=USER, [W]=WARN, [O]=OOT_MODULE Hardware name: Google, Inc.

Note, the worst of the breakage can be traced back to commit cb210737675e ("KVM: Pass new routing entries and irqfd when updating IRTEs"), as before that commit KVM would pull the routing information from the per-VM routing table. But as above, similar bugs have existed since support for IRQ bypass was added. E.g. if a routing change finished before irq_shutdown() invoked kvm_arch_irq_bypass_del_producer(), VMX and SVM would see stale routing information and potentially leave the irqfd in bypass mode. Alternatively, x86 could be fixed by explicitly checking irq_bypass_vcpu instead of irq_entry.type in kvm_arch_irq_bypass_del_producer(), and arm64 could be modified to utilize irq_bypass_vcpu in a similar manner. But (a) that wouldn't fix the routing updates bug, and (b) fixing core code doesn't preclude x86 (or arm64) from adding such code as a sanity check (spoiler alert).

KVM: Allow building irqbypass.ko as as module when kvm.ko is a module

commit 459a35111b0a890172a78d51c01b204e13a34a18 upstream. Convert HAVE_KVM_IRQ_BYPASS into a tristate so that selecting IRQ_BYPASS_MANAGER follows KVM={m,y}, i.e. doesn't force irqbypass.ko to be built-in. Note, PPC allows building KVM as a module, but selects HAVE_KVM_IRQ_BYPASS from a boolean Kconfig, i.e. KVM PPC unnecessarily forces irqbpass.ko to be built-in. But that flaw is a longstanding PPC specific issue.

KVM: eventfd: Use synchronize_srcu_expedited() on shutdown

2024-08-13T16:09:35+00:00

When hot-unplug a device which has many queues, and guest CPU will has huge jitter, and unplugging is very slow. It turns out synchronize_srcu() in irqfd_shutdown() caused the guest jitter and unplugging latency, so replace synchronize_srcu() with synchronize_srcu_expedited(), to accelerate the unplugging, and reduce the guest OS jitter, this accelerates the VM reboot too.

introduce fd_file(), convert all accessors to it.

2024-08-13T02:00:43+00:00

For any changes of struct fd representation we need to turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers. Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h, 1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in explicit initializers). Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that. This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned into a separate helper (fd_empty()). NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "Generic: - Use memdup_array_user() to harden against overflow. - Unconditionally advertise KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL for all architectures. - Clean up Kconfigs that all KVM architectures were selecting - New functionality around "guest_memfd", a new userspace API that creates an anonymous file and returns a file descriptor that refers to it. guest_memfd files are bound to their owning virtual machine, cannot be mapped, read, or written by userspace, and cannot be resized. guest_memfd files do however support PUNCH_HOLE, which can be used to switch a memory area between guest_memfd and regular anonymous memory. - New ioctl KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES allowing userspace to specify per-page attributes for a given page of guest memory; right now the only attribute is whether the guest expects to access memory via guest_memfd or not, which in Confidential SVMs backed by SEV-SNP, TDX or ARM64 pKVM is checked by firmware or hypervisor that guarantees confidentiality (AMD PSP, Intel TDX module, or EL2 in the case of pKVM). x86: - Support for "software-protected VMs" that can use the new guest_memfd and page attributes infrastructure. This is mostly useful for testing, since there is no pKVM-like infrastructure to provide a meaningfully reduced TCB. - Fix a relatively benign off-by-one error when splitting huge pages during CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG. - Fix a bug where KVM could incorrectly test-and-clear dirty bits in non-leaf TDP MMU SPTEs if a racing thread replaces a huge SPTE with a non-huge SPTE. - Use more generic lockdep assertions in paths that don't actually care about whether the caller is a reader or a writer. - let Xen guests opt out of having PV clock reported as "based on a stable TSC", because some of them don't expect the "TSC stable" bit (added to the pvclock ABI by KVM, but never set by Xen) to be set. - Revert a bogus, made-up nested SVM consistency check for TLB_CONTROL. - Advertise flush-by-ASID support for nSVM unconditionally, as KVM always flushes on nested transitions, i.e. always satisfies flush requests. This allows running bleeding edge versions of VMware Workstation on top of KVM. - Sanity check that the CPU supports flush-by-ASID when enabling SEV support. - On AMD machines with vNMI, always rely on hardware instead of intercepting IRET in some cases to detect unmasking of NMIs - Support for virtualizing Linear Address Masking (LAM) - Fix a variety of vPMU bugs where KVM fail to stop/reset counters and other state prior to refreshing the vPMU model. - Fix a double-overflow PMU bug by tracking emulated counter events using a dedicated field instead of snapshotting the "previous" counter. If the hardware PMC count triggers overflow that is recognized in the same VM-Exit that KVM manually bumps an event count, KVM would pend PMIs for both the hardware-triggered overflow and for KVM-triggered overflow. - Turn off KVM_WERROR by default for all configs so that it's not inadvertantly enabled by non-KVM developers, which can be problematic for subsystems that require no regressions for W=1 builds. - Advertise all of the host-supported CPUID bits that enumerate IA32_SPEC_CTRL "features". - Don't force a masterclock update when a vCPU synchronizes to the current TSC generation, as updating the masterclock can cause kvmclock's time to "jump" unexpectedly, e.g. when userspace hotplugs a pre-created vCPU. - Use RIP-relative address to read kvm_rebooting in the VM-Enter fault paths, partly as a super minor optimization, but mostly to make KVM play nice with position independent executable builds. - Guard KVM-on-HyperV's range-based TLB flush hooks with an #ifdef on CONFIG_HYPERV as a minor optimization, and to self-document the code. - Add CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV to allow disabling KVM support for HyperV "emulation" at build time. ARM64: - LPA2 support, adding 52bit IPA/PA capability for 4kB and 16kB base granule sizes. Branch shared with the arm64 tree. - Large Fine-Grained Trap rework, bringing some sanity to the feature, although there is more to come. This comes with a prefix branch shared with the arm64 tree. - Some additional Nested Virtualization groundwork, mostly introducing the NV2 VNCR support and retargetting the NV support to that version of the architecture. - A small set of vgic fixes and associated cleanups. Loongarch: - Optimization for memslot hugepage checking - Cleanup and fix some HW/SW timer issues - Add LSX/LASX (128bit/256bit SIMD) support RISC-V: - KVM_GET_REG_LIST improvement for vector registers - Generate ISA extension reg_list using macros in get-reg-list selftest - Support for reporting steal time along with selftest s390: - Bugfixes Selftests: - Fix an annoying goof where the NX hugepage test prints out garbage instead of the magic token needed to run the test. - Fix build errors when a header is delete/moved due to a missing flag in the Makefile. - Detect if KVM bugged/killed a selftest's VM and print out a helpful message instead of complaining that a random ioctl() failed. - Annotate the guest printf/assert helpers with __printf(), and fix the various bugs that were lurking due to lack of said annotation" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (185 commits) x86/kvm: Do not try to disable kvmclock if it was not enabled KVM: x86: add missing "depends on KVM" KVM: fix direction of dependency on MMU notifiers KVM: introduce CONFIG_KVM_COMMON KVM: arm64: Add missing memory barriers when switching to pKVM's hyp pgd KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Avoid potential UAF in LPI translation cache RISC-V: KVM: selftests: Add get-reg-list test for STA registers RISC-V: KVM: selftests: Add steal_time test support RISC-V: KVM: selftests: Add guest_sbi_probe_extension RISC-V: KVM: selftests: Move sbi_ecall to processor.c RISC-V: KVM: Implement SBI STA extension RISC-V: KVM: Add support for SBI STA registers RISC-V: KVM: Add support for SBI extension registers RISC-V: KVM: Add SBI STA info to vcpu_arch RISC-V: KVM: Add steal-update vcpu request RISC-V: KVM: Add SBI STA extension skeleton RISC-V: paravirt: Implement steal-time support RISC-V: Add SBI STA extension definitions RISC-V: paravirt: Add skeleton for pv-time support RISC-V: KVM: Fix indentation in kvm_riscv_vcpu_set_reg_csr() ...
