Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: x86: Don't leave APF half-enabled on bad APF data GPA
Date: Fri,  3 Apr 2026 10:01:19 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260403100119.3311-1-ethan.yang.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260403031111.3171-1-ethan.yang.kernel@gmail.com>

kvm_pv_enable_async_pf() updates vcpu->arch.apf.msr_en_val before
initializing the APF data gfn_to_hva cache. If userspace provides an
invalid GPA, kvm_gfn_to_hva_cache_init() fails, but msr_en_val stays
enabled and leaves APF state half-initialized.

Later APF paths can then try to use the empty cache and trigger
WARN_ON() in kvm_read_guest_offset_cached().

Determine the new APF enabled state from the incoming MSR value, do cache
initialization first on the enable path, and commit msr_en_val only after
successful initialization. Keep the disable path behavior unchanged.
