From edd03602d97236e8fea13cd76886c576186aa307 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Mackerras Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2017 14:31:24 +1000 Subject: KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Protect updates to spapr_tce_tables list Al Viro pointed out that while one thread of a process is executing in kvm_vm_ioctl_create_spapr_tce(), another thread could guess the file descriptor returned by anon_inode_getfd() and close() it before the first thread has added it to the kvm->arch.spapr_tce_tables list. That highlights a more general problem: there is no mutual exclusion between writers to the spapr_tce_tables list, leading to the possibility of the list becoming corrupted, which could cause a host kernel crash. To fix the mutual exclusion problem, we add a mutex_lock/unlock pair around the list_del_rce in kvm_spapr_tce_release(). Also, this moves the call to anon_inode_getfd() inside the region protected by the kvm->lock mutex, after we have done the check for a duplicate LIOBN. This means that if another thread does guess the file descriptor and closes it, its call to kvm_spapr_tce_release() will not do any harm because it will have to wait until the first thread has released kvm->lock. With this, there are no failure points in kvm_vm_ioctl_create_spapr_tce() after the call to anon_inode_getfd(). The other things that the second thread could do with the guessed file descriptor are to mmap it or to pass it as a parameter to a KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_SET_SPAPR_TCE ioctl on a KVM device fd. An mmap call won't cause any harm because kvm_spapr_tce_mmap() and kvm_spapr_tce_fault() don't access the spapr_tce_tables list or the kvmppc_spapr_tce_table.list field, and the fields that they do use have been properly initialized by the time of the anon_inode_getfd() call. The KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_SET_SPAPR_TCE ioctl calls kvm_spapr_tce_attach_iommu_group(), which scans the spapr_tce_tables list looking for the kvmppc_spapr_tce_table struct corresponding to the fd given as the parameter. Either it will find the new entry or it won't; if it doesn't, it just returns an error, and if it does, it will function normally. So, in each case there is no harmful effect.
