Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] KVM: arm64: vgic-v3: Undo assignment on iodev registration failure
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 00:42:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819224229.82948-2-kmehltretter@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260819224229.82948-1-kmehltretter@gmail.com>
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.
Advance free_index when assigning the slot. On registration failure, return
the slot and clear rdreg and base_addr.
