[PATCH v4] vfio: fix potential deadlock on vfio group lock

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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:

kvm_put_kvm
 -> kvm_destroy_vm
  -> kvm_destroy_devices
   -> kvm_vfio_destroy
    -> kvm_vfio_file_set_kvm
     -> vfio_file_set_kvm
      -> group->group_lock/group_rwsem

Avoid this scenario by having vfio core code acquire a KVM reference
the first time a device is opened and hold that reference until right
after the group lock is released after the last device is closed.

Changes from v3:
* Can't check for open_count after the group lock has been dropped because
  it would be possible for the count to change again once the group lock
  is dropped (Jason)
  Solve this by stashing a copy of the kvm and put_kvm while the group
  lock is held, nullifying the device copies of these in device_close()
  as soon as the open_count reaches 0, and then checking to see if the
  device->kvm changed before dropping the group lock.  If it changed
  during close, we can drop the reference using the stashed kvm and put
  function after dropping the group lock.

Changes from v2:
* Re-arrange vfio_kvm_set_kvm_safe error path to still trigger
  device_open with device->kvm=NULL (Alex)
* get device->dev_set->lock when checking device->open_count (Alex)
* but don't hold it over the kvm_put_kvm (Jason)
* get kvm_put symbol upfront and stash it in device until close (Jason)
* check CONFIG_HAVE_KVM to avoid build errors on architectures without
  KVM support

Changes from v1:
* Re-write using symbol get logic to get kvm ref during first device
  open, release the ref during device fd close after group lock is
  released
* Drop kvm get/put changes to drivers; now that vfio core holds a
  kvm ref until sometime after the device_close op is called, it
  should be fine for drivers to get and put their own references to it.
