Subject: [PATCH 1/8] s390/kvm,gaccess: fix guest access return code handling
Date: Tue,  5 Mar 2013 13:14:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1362485687-2799-2-git-send-email-borntraeger@de.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1362485687-2799-1-git-send-email-borntraeger@de.ibm.com>

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

Guest access functions like copy_to/from_guest() call __guestaddr_to_user()
which in turn call gmap_fault() in order to translate a guest address to a
user space address.
In error case __guest_addr_to_user() returns either -EFAULT or -ENOMEM.
The copy_to/from_guest functions just pass these return values down to the
callers.
The -ENOMEM case however is problematic since there are several places
which access guest memory like:

rc = copy_to_guest(...);
if (rc == -EFAULT)
	error_handling();

So in case of -ENOMEM the code assumes that the guest memory access
succeeded even though it failed.
This can cause guest data or state corruption.

If __guestaddr_to_user() returns -ENOMEM the meaning is that a valid user
space mapping exists, but there was not enough memory available when trying
to build the guest mapping. In other words an out-of-memory situation
occured.
For normal user space accesses an out-of-memory situation causes the page
fault handler to map -ENOMEM to -EFAULT (see fixup code in do_no_context()).
We need to do exactly the same for the kvm gaccess functions.

So __guestaddr_to_user() should just map all error codes to -EFAULT.
