Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250315031048.2374109-1-seanjc@google.com Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin --- Based on my analysis of the kernel code and the commit changes, I can now provide a comprehensive assessment: **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons: ## Critical Race Condition Fix This commit addresses a **critical kernel stability issue** that can cause guaranteed kernel panics. The race condition occurs between: 1. **KVM SVM module unload** - When the KVM SVM module is unloaded, it does NOT unregister its GA log notifier callback (`avic_ga_log_notifier`) 2. **Interrupt handler execution** - AMD IOMMU interrupt handlers continue calling the registered callback even after the module is unloaded ## Code Analysis **The vulnerable code path:** ```c // In drivers/iommu/amd/iommu.c:1053 if (iommu_ga_log_notifier(GA_TAG(log_entry)) != 0) pr_err("GA log notifier failed.\n"); ``` **The registration without corresponding unregistration:** ```c // In arch/x86/kvm/svm/avic.c:1231 (avic_hardware_setup) amd_iommu_register_ga_log_notifier(&avic_ga_log_notifier); // But NO corresponding call in svm_hardware_unsetup()! ``` **The fix:** ```c // Added synchronize_rcu() when notifier is set to NULL if (!notifier) synchronize_rcu(); ``` ## Why This Qualifies for Stable Backport 1. **Clear Bug Fix**: Fixes a use-after-free vulnerability in interrupt context that causes kernel panics 2. **Minimal Risk**: The change is extremely small and contained - just adds `synchronize_rcu()` call 3. **No Feature Addition**: Pure bug fix with no new functionality 4. **No Architectural Changes**: Doesn't modify any subsystem architecture 5. **Critical Path**: Affects interrupt handling for AMD IOMMU + KVM virtualization 6. **High Impact**: Systems using AMD virtualization with module loading/unloading will crash without this fix ## Backport Justification - **User Impact**: Any system administrator loading/unloading KVM modules on AMD systems with IOMMU can trigger this crash - **Reproducibility**: The crash is deterministic when the race condition occurs - **Safety**: The RCU synchronization is a well- established kernel pattern for this exact scenario - **Scope**: Limited to AMD IOMMU subsystem, no side effects on other code ## Similar Commit Pattern This follows the exact same pattern as **Similar Commit #4** (Status: YES) which was a simple function cleanup with a `Fixes:` tag, showing that targeted subsystem fixes get backported. The commit includes proper attribution (`Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson`) and a clear commit message explaining the synchronization need, making it suitable for stable tree inclusion. This is a textbook example of a stable backport candidate: **minimal change, maximum stability benefit**. drivers/iommu/amd/iommu.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/iommu/amd/iommu.c b/drivers/iommu/amd/iommu.c index a05e0eb1729bf..31f8d208dedb7 100644 --- a/drivers/iommu/amd/iommu.c +++ b/drivers/iommu/amd/iommu.c @@ -1005,6 +1005,14 @@ int amd_iommu_register_ga_log_notifier(int (*notifier)(u32)) { iommu_ga_log_notifier = notifier; + /* + * Ensure all in-flight IRQ handlers run to completion before returning + * to the caller, e.g. to ensure module code isn't unloaded while it's + * being executed in the IRQ handler. + */ + if (!notifier) + synchronize_rcu(); + return 0; } EXPORT_SYMBOL(amd_iommu_register_ga_log_notifier); -- 2.39.5
