Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: Validate the SVE vector length in pkvm_vcpu_init_sve()
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 10:31:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818093117.2379344-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
pkvm_vcpu_init_sve() clamps only the upper bound of the host-provided
sve_max_vl, so an invalid vector length reaches sve_state_size_from_vl()
and the WARN_ON() there, which is fatal at EL2. The existing
!sve_state_size test rejects such a length, but only after the macro has
run.
Check sve_vl_valid() before deriving the state size. A valid length
cannot yield a zero size, so the !sve_state_size test goes with it.
Fixes: 5db1bef93342 ("KVM: arm64: Track SVE state in the hypervisor vcpu structure")
Reported-by: Stefan Teodorescu <fane@google.com>

Notes:
Based on v7.2. Applies cleanly to kvmarm/next as well:
pkvm_vcpu_init_sve() is identical on both.
