[PATCH 01/61] KVM: x86: Return -E2BIG when KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID hits max entries

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

 



Fix a long-standing bug that causes KVM to return 0 instead of -E2BIG
when userspace's array is insufficiently sized.

Note, while the Fixes: tag is accurate with respect to the immediate
bug, it's likely that similar bugs in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID existed
prior to the refactoring, e.g. Qemu contains a workaround for the broken
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID behavior that predates the buggy commit by over
two years.  The Qemu workaround is also likely the main reason the bug
has gone unreported for so long.

Qemu hack:
  commit 76ae317f7c16aec6b469604b1764094870a75470

    kvm: work around supported cpuid ioctl() brokenness

    KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID has been known to fail to return -E2BIG
    when it runs out of entries. Detect this by always trying again
    with a bigger table if the ioctl() fills the table.
