kvm/vfio: ensure kvg instance stays around in kvm_vfio_group_add()
kvm_vfio_group_add() creates kvg instance, links it to kv->group_list, and calls kvm_vfio_file_set_kvm() with kvg->file as an argument after dropping kv->lock. If we race group addition and deletion calls, kvg instance may get freed by the time we get around to calling kvm_vfio_file_set_kvm(). Previous iterations of the code did not reference kvg->file outside of the critical section, but used a temporary variable. Still, they had similar problem of the file reference being owned by kvg structure and potential for kvm_vfio_group_del() dropping it before kvm_vfio_group_add() had a chance to complete. Fix this by moving call to kvm_vfio_file_set_kvm() under the protection of kv->lock. We already call it while holding the same lock when vfio group is being deleted, so it should be safe here as well. Fixes: 2fc1bec15883 ("kvm: set/clear kvm to/from vfio_group when group add/delete") Reviewed-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Kevin Tian <kevin.tian@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230714224538.404793-1-dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>
