[PATCH 0/6] KVM: Fix bugs in vCPUs xarray usage

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>]

This series stems from Will's observation[*] that kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu()'s
handling of xa_store() failure when inserting into vcpu_array is technically
broken, although in practice it's impossible for xa_store() to fail.

After much back and forth and staring, I realized that commit afb2acb2e3a3
("KVM: Fix vcpu_array[0] races") papered over underlying bugs in
kvm_get_vcpu() and kvm_for_each_vcpu().  The core problem is that KVM
allowed other tasks to see vCPU0 while online_vcpus==0, and thus trying
to gracefully error out of vCPU creation led to use-after-free failures.

So, rather than trying to solve the unsolvable problem for an error path
that should be impossible to hit, fix the underlying issue and ensure that
vcpu_array[0] is accessed if and only if online_vcpus is non-zero.

Patch 3 fixes a race Michal identified when we were trying to figure out
how to handle the xa_store() mess.

Patch 4 reverts afb2acb2e3a3.

Patches 5 and 6 are tangentially related cleanups.

Sean Christopherson (6):
  KVM: Explicitly verify target vCPU is online in kvm_get_vcpu()
  KVM: Verify there's at least one online vCPU when iterating over all
    vCPUs
  KVM: Grab vcpu->mutex across installing the vCPU's fd and bumping
    online_vcpus
  Revert "KVM: Fix vcpu_array[0] races"
  KVM: Don't BUG() the kernel if xa_insert() fails with -EBUSY
  KVM: Drop hack that "manually" informs lockdep of kvm->lock vs.
    vcpu->mutex
