[PATCH v3 0/2] Address syzkaller warnings in nested VM-Exit after RSM

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

 



This series aims to close the loop on a prior conversation on this matter.
I have picked this up from Michal Wilczynski who had proposed different
fixes (v1 and v2).

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240123001555.4168188-1-michal.wilczynski@xxxxxxxxx/
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231222164543.918037-1-michal.wilczynski@xxxxxxxxx/

The issue was initially reported here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAMhUBjmXMYsEoVYw_M8hSZjBMHh24i88QYm-RY6HDta5YZ7Wgw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

It is caused by setting nested_run_pending in the vendor-specific leave_smm()
callback from the RSM emulation. The syzkaller test produced a triple fault in
rsm_load_state_64() resulting in a nested VM-Exit with nested_run_pending being
set and triggered the warnings. The commit message for patch 2 has a detailed
description of the flow.

The patches do the following:
a) Move nested_run_pending out of vendor structs and into the x86 kvm_vcpu_arch
so it can be accessed by common x86 code (e.g., the SMM emulation).
The usage and semantics of this flag are common between SVM and VMX. 

b) Set nested_run_pending only after a successful RSM emulation.

This evidently resolves the issue, but I would appreciate feedback
(if the patches are acceptable) and/or suggestions.
