Subject: [PATCH 0/6] KVM: Harden kvm_vcpu_map() usage against memory leaks
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 17:47:51 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724004757.131420-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
Harden kvm_vcpu_map() usage against memory leaks by yelling if there's already
a valid mapping, and then unmapping the existing mapping before establishing a
new one. To get there, add a CLASS() for local, on-stack usage, to guarantee
the map metadata is zero-initialized (well, so long as the CLASS() is used).
Prompted by 2f2312c422fd ("KVM: nVMX: Put vmcs12 pages if nested VM-Enter fails
due to invalid guest state").
Patch 1 is related in that it's needed to avoid tripping the new WARN.
The PPC change is compile-tested only.
Sean Christopherson (6):
KVM: nVMX: Ensure KVM_REQ_GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES is cleared on VM-Exit
KVM: nSVM: Add CLASS()es for automagically handling local
kvm_vcpu_map() usage
KVM: nSVM: Use CLASS(kvm_vcpu_map_local) for SMM VMCB mappings
KVM: nVMX: Use CLASS(kvm_vcpu_map_local_readonly) for MSR bitmap
merging
KVM: PPC: Use CLASS(kvm_vcpu_map_local_readonly) for patching dcbz
KVM: Harden kvm_vcpu_map() against double-mapping and thus leaking
references
