Acquire kvm->srcu for the duration of ->set_nested_state() to fix a bug where nVMX derefences ->memslots without holding ->srcu or ->slots_lock. The other half of nested migration, ->get_nested_state(), does not need to acquire ->srcu as it is a purely a dump of internal KVM (and CPU) state to userspace. Detected as an RCU lockdep splat that is 100% reproducible by running KVM's state_test selftest with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y. Note that the failing function, kvm_is_visible_gfn(), is only checking the validity of a gfn, it's not actually accessing guest memory (which is more or less unsupported during vmx_set_nested_state() due to incorrect MMU state), i.e. vmx_set_nested_state() itself isn't fundamentally broken. In any case, setting nested state isn't a fast path so there's no reason to go out of our way to avoid taking ->srcu. ============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 5.4.0-rc7+ #94 Not tainted ----------------------------- include/linux/kvm_host.h:626 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1 1 lock held by evmcs_test/10939: #0: ffff88826ffcb800 (&vcpu->mutex){+.+.}, at: kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x85/0x630 [kvm] stack backtrace: CPU: 1 PID: 10939 Comm: evmcs_test Not tainted 5.4.0-rc7+ #94 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x68/0x9b kvm_is_visible_gfn+0x179/0x180 [kvm] mmu_check_root+0x11/0x30 [kvm] fast_cr3_switch+0x40/0x120 [kvm] kvm_mmu_new_cr3+0x34/0x60 [kvm] nested_vmx_load_cr3+0xbd/0x1f0 [kvm_intel] nested_vmx_enter_non_root_mode+0xab8/0x1d60 [kvm_intel] vmx_set_nested_state+0x256/0x340 [kvm_intel] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl+0x491/0x11a0 [kvm] kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0xde/0x630 [kvm] do_vfs_ioctl+0xa2/0x6c0 ksys_ioctl+0x66/0x70 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x16/0x20 do_syscall_64+0x54/0x200 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe RIP: 0033:0x7f59a2b95f47 Fixes: 8fcc4b5923af5 ("kvm: nVMX: Introduce KVM_CAP_NESTED_STATE") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
