s390/vfio-ap: Fix failure to release IRQ notification eventfd contexts
When userspace registers IRQ notification eventfds via the
VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS ioctl, vfio_ap_set_request_irq() and
vfio_ap_set_cfg_change_irq() each call eventfd_ctx_fdget(), which
takes a reference on the eventfd_ctx and stores it. These references
are dropped only when userspace explicitly replaces or clears them,
causing a leak if the device is closed without explicit teardown. This
commit fixes the leak by introducing vfio_ap_mdev_release_eventfds()
to clean up the references during close_device().

This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but I noticed a pre-existing issue
in vfio_ap_set_request_irq() and vfio_ap_set_cfg_change_irq().
If a userspace process issues the VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS ioctl with count == 0
and DATA_EVENTFD to clear the IRQ, could this unconditionally read out of
bounds?
drivers/s390/crypto/vfio_ap_ops.c:vfio_ap_set_request_irq() {
s32 fd;
void __user *data;
unsigned long minsz;
...
minsz = offsetofend(struct vfio_irq_set, count);
data = (void __user *)(arg + minsz);
if (get_user(fd, (s32 __user *)data))
return -EFAULT;
...
}
[Severity: High]
Does this code read past the user-provided struct vfio_irq_set buffer if
count is 0?
Because there is no check for count > 0 before doing get_user(), it appears
this reads 4 bytes past the user-provided buffer and interprets the
uninitialized data as a file descriptor instead of safely disabling the
interrupt.
The same pattern appears in vfio_ap_set_cfg_change_irq():
drivers/s390/crypto/vfio_ap_ops.c:vfio_ap_set_cfg_change_irq() {
s32 fd;
void __user *data;
unsigned long minsz;
...
minsz = offsetofend(struct vfio_irq_set, count);
data = (void __user *)(arg + minsz);
if (get_user(fd, (s32 __user *)data))
return -EFAULT;
...
}
[Severity: High]
Does this code also have the same out-of-bounds read issue when count is 0?
