Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: x86: Take SRCU in kvm_zap_gfn_range()
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 02:39:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825183924.237727-1-nicoyip.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260822190224.3788887-1-nicoyip.dev@gmail.com>
kvm_zap_gfn_range() walks memslots and rmaps and may drop mmu_lock to
reschedule. Callers that do not already hold kvm->srcu (or slots_lock)
can race with memslot deletion: synchronize_srcu_expedited() does not
wait, kvm_free_memslot() frees the old slot and its rmap, and the zap
resumes on freed memory.
The VFIO noncoherent-DMA path hits this by zapping the entire GPA
space without SRCU. KASAN reported:
BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in slot_rmap_walk_next+0x82/0x1c0
Read of size 8 at addr ffffc900005c1008
Call Trace:
slot_rmap_walk_next+0x82/0x1c0
__kvm_rmap_zap_gfn_range+0x17a/0x280
kvm_zap_gfn_range+0x2a6/0x6a0
kvm_vfio_set_attr+0x576/0x770
kvm_device_ioctl+0x1ff/0x3b0
Take SRCU inside kvm_zap_gfn_range() so every caller is covered.
Nesting with an existing kvm->srcu critical section is fine; the
helper uses a local index. Drop the now-redundant SRCU pair from
__kvm_set_or_clear_apicv_inhibit().

v2:
- Take SRCU inside kvm_zap_gfn_range() with guard(srcu)(), as suggested
by Sean Christopherson, instead of wrapping only the noncoherent-DMA
caller.
- Drop the now-redundant SRCU pair from
__kvm_set_or_clear_apicv_inhibit(). Nested kvm->srcu is fine; only
kvm_vcpu_srcu_read_lock() cannot nest with itself.
