Subject: [bug report] x86/kvm: Alloc dummy async #PF token outside of raw spinlock
Date: Tue, 24 May 2022 15:58:46 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <YozWhplb1iXiQDlI@kili> (raw)
Hello Sean Christopherson,
The patch ddd7ed842627: "x86/kvm: Alloc dummy async #PF token outside
of raw spinlock" from May 19, 2022, leads to the following Smatch
static checker warning:
arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c:212 kvm_async_pf_task_wake()
warn: sleeping in atomic context
arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c
202 raw_spin_lock(&b->lock);
203 n = _find_apf_task(b, token);
204 if (!n) {
205 /*
206 * Async #PF not yet handled, add a dummy entry for the token.
207 * Allocating the token must be down outside of the raw lock
208 * as the allocator is preemptible on PREEMPT_RT kernels.
209 */
210 if (!dummy) {
211 raw_spin_unlock(&b->lock);
--> 212 dummy = kzalloc(sizeof(*dummy), GFP_KERNEL);
^^^^^^^^^^
Smatch thinks the caller has preempt disabled. The `smdb.py preempt
kvm_async_pf_task_wake` output call tree is:
sysvec_kvm_asyncpf_interrupt() <- disables preempt
-> __sysvec_kvm_asyncpf_interrupt()
-> kvm_async_pf_task_wake()
The caller is this:
arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c
290 DEFINE_IDTENTRY_SYSVEC(sysvec_kvm_asyncpf_interrupt)
291 {
292 struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
293 u32 token;
294
295 ack_APIC_irq();
296
297 inc_irq_stat(irq_hv_callback_count);
298
299 if (__this_cpu_read(apf_reason.enabled)) {
300 token = __this_cpu_read(apf_reason.token);
301 kvm_async_pf_task_wake(token);
302 __this_cpu_write(apf_reason.token, 0);
303 wrmsrl(MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_ACK, 1);
304 }
305
306 set_irq_regs(old_regs);
307 }
The DEFINE_IDTENTRY_SYSVEC() is a wrapper that calls this function
from the call_on_irqstack_cond(). It's inside the call_on_irqstack_cond()
where preempt is disabled (unless it's already disabled). The
irq_enter/exit_rcu() functions disable/enable preempt.
regards,
dan carpenter
