This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled KVM: ioapic: break infinite recursion on lazy EOI to the 5.8-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kvm-ioapic-break-infinite-recursion-on-lazy-eoi.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b6ad04bb7354f54f9dcdb904817c17b1261b513f Author: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Oct 24 04:13:24 2020 -0400 KVM: ioapic: break infinite recursion on lazy EOI [ Upstream commit 77377064c3a94911339f13ce113b3abf265e06da ] During shutdown the IOAPIC trigger mode is reset to edge triggered while the vfio-pci INTx is still registered with a resampler. This allows us to get into an infinite loop: ioapic_set_irq -> ioapic_lazy_update_eoi -> kvm_ioapic_update_eoi_one -> kvm_notify_acked_irq -> kvm_notify_acked_gsi -> (via irq_acked fn ptr) irqfd_resampler_ack -> kvm_set_irq -> (via set fn ptr) kvm_set_ioapic_irq -> kvm_ioapic_set_irq -> ioapic_set_irq Commit 8be8f932e3db ("kvm: ioapic: Restrict lazy EOI update to edge-triggered interrupts", 2020-05-04) acknowledges that this recursion loop exists and tries to avoid it at the call to ioapic_lazy_update_eoi, but at this point the scenario is already set, we have an edge interrupt with resampler on the same gsi. Fortunately, the only user of irq ack notifiers (in addition to resamplefd) is i8254 timer interrupt reinjection. These are edge-triggered, so in principle they would need the call to kvm_ioapic_update_eoi_one from ioapic_lazy_update_eoi, but they already disable AVIC(*), so they don't need the lazy EOI behavior. Therefore, remove the call to kvm_ioapic_update_eoi_one from ioapic_lazy_update_eoi. This fixes CVE-2020-27152. Note that this issue cannot happen with SR-IOV assigned devices because virtual functions do not have INTx, only MSI.
