[PATCH 7/8] KVM: gmem: Avoid race with kvm_gmem_release and mmu notifier

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

 



From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata@xxxxxxxxx>

Add slots_lock around kvm_flush_shadow_all().  kvm_gmem_release() via
fput() and kvm_mmu_notifier_release() via mmput() can be called
simultaneously on process exit because vhost, /dev/vhost_{net, vsock}, can
delay the call to release mmu_notifier, kvm_mmu_notifier_release() by its
kernel thread.  Vhost uses get_task_mm() and mmput() for the kernel thread
to access process memory.  mmput() can defer after closing the file.

kvm_flush_shadow_all() and kvm_gmem_release() can be called simultaneously.
With TDX KVM, HKID releasing by kvm_flush_shadow_all() and private memory
releasing by kvm_gmem_release() can race.  Add slots_lock to
kvm_mmu_notifier_release().
