Syzbot reports crashes in kvm_irqfd_assign(), caused by use-after-free when kvm_irqfd_assign() and kvm_irqfd_deassign() run in parallel for one specific eventfd. When the assign path hasn't finished but irqfd has been added to kvm->irqfds.items list, another thead may deassign the eventfd and free struct kvm_kernel_irqfd(). The assign path then uses the struct kvm_kernel_irqfd that has been freed by deassign path. To avoid such issue, keep irqfd under kvm->irq_srcu protection after the irqfd has been added to kvm->irqfds.items list, and call synchronize_srcu() in irq_shutdown() to make sure that irqfd has been fully initialized in the assign path.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
