kvm/vfio: Fix potential deadlock on vfio group_lock
[ Upstream commit 51cdc8bc120ef6e42f6fb758341f5d91bc955952 ]
Currently it is possible that the final put of a KVM reference comes from
vfio during its device close operation. This occurs while the vfio group
lock is held; however, if the vfio device is still in the kvm device list,
then the following call chain could result in a deadlock:
VFIO holds group->group_lock/group_rwsem
-> kvm_put_kvm
-> kvm_destroy_vm
-> kvm_destroy_devices
-> kvm_vfio_destroy
-> kvm_vfio_file_set_kvm
-> vfio_file_set_kvm
-> try to hold group->group_lock/group_rwsem
The key function is the kvm_destroy_devices() which triggers destroy cb
of kvm_device_ops. It calls back to vfio and try to hold group_lock. So
if this path doesn't call back to vfio, this dead lock would be fixed.
Actually, there is a way for it. KVM provides another point to free the
kvm-vfio device which is the point when the device file descriptor is
closed. This can be achieved by providing the release cb instead of the
destroy cb. Also rename kvm_vfio_destroy() to be kvm_vfio_release().
/*
* Destroy is responsible for freeing dev.
*
* Destroy may be called before or after destructors are called
* on emulated I/O regions, depending on whether a reference is
* held by a vcpu or other kvm component that gets destroyed
* after the emulated I/O.
*/
void (*destroy)(struct kvm_device *dev);
/*
* Release is an alternative method to free the device. It is
* called when the device file descriptor is closed. Once
* release is called, the destroy method will not be called
* anymore as the device is removed from the device list of
* the VM. kvm->lock is held.
*/
void (*release)(struct kvm_device *dev);
