Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] KVM: arm64: vgic-v3: Undo assignment on iodev registration failure
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 07:12:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110121137.996763-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107061817-failed-5.10-8a88a46b86ca@kernel.org>
From: Karl Mehltretter <kmehltretter@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 8a88a46b86ca3dbbd24522760d29edfb3f24ac2a ]
vgic_register_redist_iodev() assigns a redistributor region and base
address to the vCPU before adding its iodev to the MMIO bus. However, the
region's free_index is advanced only after registration succeeds.
If kvm_io_bus_register_dev() fails, the vCPU retains the assignment while
free_index still identifies the same slot as free. A later registration can
therefore reuse a slot that remains assigned to the vCPU.
Reserve the slot before registering its iodev. The caller holds slots_lock,
so a registration failure cannot race with a later assignment. Undo the
reservation and clear the cached assignment on failure.
