Subject: [PATCH v4 9/9] s390/vfio-ap: Fix memory leak when queue removed from host AP config
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 13:09:45 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812170945.738351-10-akrowiak@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260812170945.738351-1-akrowiak@linux.ibm.com>
When an adapter or domain is removed from the host's AP configuration, the
AP bus invokes vfio_ap_on_cfg_changed() to notify the vfio_ap device
driver. For each ap_matrix_mdev object to which the adapter or domain
is assigned, vfio_ap_mdev_hot_unplug_cfg() is called and removes the
adapter or domain from the matrix_mdev->shadow_apcb (i.e., the guest's AP
configuration) and hot unplugs it if a guest is using it. The new host
AP configuration (sans adapter or domain) is then stored in
matrix_dev->info.
When the AP bus subsequently unbinds the physical queue devices associated
with the adapter or domain that has been removed, it invokes
vfio_ap_mdev_remove_queue() for each queue removed. At this point, the
adapter or domain will no longer be assigned to the
matrix_mdev->shadow_apcb or the matrix_dev->info object because they would
have been removed by vfio_ap_on_cfg_changed(). Consequently,
vfio_ap_mdev_reset_queue(q) is bypassed and kfree(q) is called
without executing vfio_ap_free_aqic_resources(). This indefinitely pins
guest memory (q->saved_iova) and leaks KVM GISC resources (q->saved_isc).
Note that resetting the queue would fail with an invalid APQN error due to
the fact the queue is not longer in the host's AP configuration; however,
it is still necessary to free the AQIC resources. The fix here is to call
vfio_ap_free_aqic_resources if the adapter or domain is neither in
matrix_mdev->shadow_apcb or matrix_dev->info.
