[PATCH v4 0/5] Some fixes about vgic-its

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

 



This patch series addresses a critical issue in the VGIC ITS tables'
save/restore mechanism, accompanied by a comprehensive selftest for bug
reproduction and verification.

The fix is originally from Kunkun Jiang at [1]. 

The identified bug manifests as a failure in VM suspend/resume operations.
The root cause lies in the repeated suspend attempts often required for
successful VM suspension, coupled with concurrent device interrupt registration
and freeing. This concurrency leads to inconsistencies in ITS mappings before
the save operation, potentially leaving orphaned Device Translation Entries
(DTEs) and Interrupt Translation Entries (ITEs) in the respective tables.

During the subsequent restore operation, encountering these orphaned entries
can result in two error scenarios:
* EINVAL Error: If an orphaned entry lacks a corresponding collection ID, the
  restore operation fails with an EINVAL error.
* Mapping Corruption: If an orphaned entry possesses a valid collection ID, the
  restore operation may succeed but with incorrect or lost mappings,
  compromising system integrity.

The provided selftest facilitates the reproduction of both error scenarios:
* EINVAL Reproduction: Execute ./vgic_its_tables without any options.
* Mapping Corruption Reproduction: Execute ./vgic_its_tables -s
  The -s option enforces identical collection IDs for all mappings.
* A workaround within the selftest involves clearing the tables before the save
  operation using the command ./vgic_its_tables -c. With this, we can run the
  the selftest successfully on host w/o the fix.

---

* v3 -> v4:
  - Added two helper functions for table entry read/write in guest memory.
  - Move selftest as the first patch to easily run on a host without the fix.

* v2 -> v3:
  - Rebased to v6.12-rc6
  - Fixed some typos
  - Added a selftest for bug reproduction and verification

* v1 -> v2:
  - Replaced BUG_ON() with KVM_BUG_ON()
