Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: nv: Hold mmu_lock when invalidating VNCR SW-TLB before translating
Date: Tue, 20 May 2025 15:41:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250520144116.3667978-1-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
When translating a VNCR translation fault, we start by marking the
current SW-managed TLB as invalid, so that we can populate it
in place. This is, however, done without the mmu_lock held.
A consequence of this is that another CPU dealing with TLBI
emulation can observe a translation still flagged as valid, but
with invalid walk results (such as pgshift being 0). Bad things
can result from this, such as a BUG() in pgshift_level_to_ttl().
Fix it by taking the mmu_lock for write to perform this local
invalidation, and use invalidate_vncr() instead of open-coding
the write to the 'valid' flag.
Fixes: 069a05e535496 ("KVM: arm64: nv: Handle VNCR_EL2-triggered faults")
