Subject: [PATCH kernel v2] KVM: Don't null dereference ops->destroy
Date: Wed, 01 Jun 2022 01:43:28 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220601014328.1444271-1-aik@ozlabs.ru> (raw)
A KVM device cleanup happens in either of two callbacks:
1) destroy() which is called when the VM is being destroyed;
2) release() which is called when a device fd is closed.
Most KVM devices use 1) but Book3s's interrupt controller KVM devices
(XICS, XIVE, XIVE-native) use 2) as they need to close and reopen during
the machine execution. The error handling in kvm_ioctl_create_device()
assumes destroy() is always defined which leads to NULL dereference as
discovered by Syzkaller.
This adds a checks for destroy!=NULL and adds a missing release().
This is not changing kvm_destroy_devices() as devices with defined
release() should have been removed from the KVM devices list by then.

Changes:
v2:
* do not touch kvm_destroy_devices
* call release() in the error path
