Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] KVM: PPC: Book3S: Protect TCE IOMMU table walks with RCU
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 17:31:37 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261015120137.28843-1-nnmlinux@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
Commit cad32d9d42e8 ("KVM: PPC: Book3s: Retire H_PUT_TCE/etc real mode
handlers") moved the TCE hcalls from real mode to preemptible virtual
mode.
The stt->iommu_tables list is RCU managed. Entries are added with
list_add_rcu(), removed with list_del_rcu(), and released after an RCU
grace period with call_rcu().
However, kvmppc_h_put_tce(), kvmppc_h_put_tce_indirect(), and
kvmppc_h_stuff_tce() traverse iommu_tables using
list_for_each_entry_lockless() without an RCU read-side critical
section.
A concurrent IOMMU table detach can therefore remove an entry while a
TCE hcall is traversing or using it, without the traversal preventing
the entry from being reclaimed.
Use list_for_each_entry_rcu() under rcu_read_lock() for these walks so
that an entry removed concurrently is not reclaimed until the reader
has completed.
