During low memory conditions, we could be dereferencing a NULL pointer when vgic_add_lpi fails to allocate memory. Consider for example this call sequence: vgic_its_cmd_handle_mapi itte->irq = vgic_add_lpi(kvm, lpi_nr); update_lpi_config(kvm, itte->irq, NULL); ret = kvm_read_guest(kvm, propbase + irq->intid ^^^^ kaboom? Instead, return an error pointer from vgic_add_lpi and check the return value from its single caller. Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes since v1: - Don't errornously get an extra kref refernce for the struct vgic_irq - Don't rework the entire error handling of the function, but follow what Marc suggested he prefers based on his fixup patch. virt/kvm/arm/vgic/vgic-its.c | 18 ++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/virt/kvm/arm/vgic/vgic-its.c b/virt/kvm/arm/vgic/vgic-its.c index 07411cf..424f7a5 100644 --- a/virt/kvm/arm/vgic/vgic-its.c +++ b/virt/kvm/arm/vgic/vgic-its.c @@ -51,7 +51,7 @@ static struct vgic_irq *vgic_add_lpi(struct kvm *kvm, u32 intid) irq = kzalloc(sizeof(struct vgic_irq), GFP_KERNEL); if (!irq) - return NULL; + return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&irq->lpi_list); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&irq->ap_list); @@ -693,10 +693,11 @@ static int vgic_its_cmd_handle_mapi(struct kvm *kvm, struct vgic_its *its, u32 device_id = its_cmd_get_deviceid(its_cmd); u32 event_id = its_cmd_get_id(its_cmd); u32 coll_id = its_cmd_get_collection(its_cmd); - struct its_itte *itte; + struct its_itte *itte, *new_itte = NULL; struct its_device *device; struct its_collection *collection, *new_coll = NULL; int lpi_nr; + struct vgic_irq *irq; device = find_its_device(its, device_id); if (!device) @@ -720,7 +721,7 @@ static int vgic_its_cmd_handle_mapi(struct kvm *kvm, struct vgic_its *its, itte = find_itte(its, device_id, event_id); if (!itte) { - itte = kzalloc(sizeof(struct its_itte), GFP_KERNEL); + new_itte = itte = kzalloc(sizeof(struct its_itte), GFP_KERNEL); if (!itte) { if (new_coll) vgic_its_free_collection(its, coll_id); @@ -733,7 +734,16 @@ static int vgic_its_cmd_handle_mapi(struct kvm *kvm, struct vgic_its *its, itte->collection = collection; itte->lpi = lpi_nr; - itte->irq = vgic_add_lpi(kvm, lpi_nr); + + irq = vgic_add_lpi(kvm, lpi_nr); + if (IS_ERR(irq)) { + if (new_coll) + vgic_its_free_collection(its, coll_id); + kfree(new_itte); + return PTR_ERR(irq); + } + itte->irq = irq; + update_affinity_itte(kvm, itte); /* -- 2.9.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
