Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] vfio: Prevent open_count decrement to negative
Date: Tue,  3 Jun 2025 08:23:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250603152343.1104-1-jacob.pan@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)

When vfio_df_close() is called with open_count=0, it triggers a warning in
vfio_assert_device_open() but still decrements open_count to -1. This
allows a subsequent open to incorrectly pass the open_count == 0 check,
leading to unintended behavior, such as setting df->access_granted = true.

For example, running an IOMMUFD compat no-IOMMU device with VFIO tests
(https://github.com/awilliam/tests/blob/master/vfio-noiommu-pci-device-open.c)
results in a warning and a failed VFIO_GROUP_GET_DEVICE_FD ioctl on the
first run, but the second run succeeds incorrectly.

Add checks to avoid decrementing open_count below zero.
