From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> Memslots must not overlap in guest physical memory, since otherwise some guest physical addresses will not uniquely map to a memslot. Yet, the overlap check in __kvm_set_memory_region() allows a memslot that overlaps one of the "private" memslots, e.g. the memslot reserved for the TSS on x86. This seems to be a very old bug that was introduced years ago when private memory slots were first added. It seems that later refactoring incorrectly assumed this bug was intentional and preserved it. Fix it by removing the loophole for private memslots, so we just check for overlap against all memslots. This bug was found by syzkaller, which used a memslot overlap to make pte_list_remove() be called for the wrong memslot, hitting a BUG(): pte_list_remove: 000000007185ed42 0->BUG kernel BUG at arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c:1209!
