commit 47b0c2e4c220f2251fd8dcfbb44479819c715e15 upstream. make_mmu_pages_available() must be called with mmu_lock held for write. However, if the TDP MMU is used, it will be called with mmu_lock held for read. This function does nothing unless shadow pages are used, so there is no race unless nested TDP is used. Since nested TDP uses shadow pages, old shadow pages may be zapped by this function even when the TDP MMU is enabled. Since shadow pages are never allocated by kvm_tdp_mmu_map(), a race condition can be avoided by not calling make_mmu_pages_available() if the TDP MMU is currently in use. I encountered this when repeatedly starting and stopping nested VM. It can be artificially caused by allocating a large number of nested TDP SPTEs. For example, the following BUG and general protection fault are caused in the host kernel. pte_list_remove: 00000000cd54fc10 many->many ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at arch/x86/kvm/mmu/mmu.c:963! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI RIP: 0010:pte_list_remove.cold+0x16/0x48 [kvm] Call Trace: <TASK> drop_spte+0xe0/0x180 [kvm] mmu_page_zap_pte+0x4f/0x140 [kvm] __kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page+0x62/0x3e0 [kvm] kvm_mmu_zap_oldest_mmu_pages+0x7d/0xf0 [kvm] direct_page_fault+0x3cb/0x9b0 [kvm] kvm_tdp_page_fault+0x2c/0xa0 [kvm] kvm_mmu_page_fault+0x207/0x930 [kvm] npf_interception+0x47/0xb0 [kvm_amd] svm_invoke_exit_handler+0x13c/0x1a0 [kvm_amd] svm_handle_exit+0xfc/0x2c0 [kvm_amd] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0xa79/0x1780 [kvm] kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x29b/0x6f0 [kvm] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x95/0xd0 do_syscall_64+0x5c/0x90 general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdead000000000122: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI RIP: 0010:kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page.part.0+0x4b/0xe0 [kvm] Call Trace: <TASK> kvm_mmu_zap_oldest_mmu_pages+0xae/0xf0 [kvm] direct_page_fault+0x3cb/0x9b0 [kvm] kvm_tdp_page_fault+0x2c/0xa0 [kvm] kvm_mmu_page_fault+0x207/0x930 [kvm] npf_interception+0x47/0xb0 [kvm_amd] CVE: CVE-2022-45869 Fixes: a2855afc7ee8 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Allow parallel page faults for the TDP MMU") Signed-off-by: Kazuki Takiguchi <takiguchi.kazuki171@gmail.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
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.
