[PATCH V2 01/10] KVM: X86: Fix missed remote tlb flush in rmap_write_protect()

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

 



From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When kvm->tlbs_dirty > 0, some rmaps might have been deleted
without flushing tlb remotely after kvm_sync_page().  If @gfn
was writable before and it's rmaps was deleted in kvm_sync_page(),
and if the tlb entry is still in a remote running VCPU,  the @gfn
is not safely protected.

To fix the problem, kvm_sync_page() does the remote flush when
needed to avoid the problem.

Fixes: a4ee1ca4a36e ("KVM: MMU: delay flush all tlbs on sync_page path")
Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changed from V1:
	force remote flush timely instead of increasing tlbs_dirty.
