Subject: [PATCH v3 25/25] KVM: TDX: Fix list_add corruption during vcpu_load()
Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2025 17:32:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251017003244.186495-26-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251017003244.186495-1-seanjc@google.com>
From: Yan Zhao <yan.y.zhao@intel.com>
During vCPU creation, a vCPU may be destroyed immediately after
kvm_arch_vcpu_create() (e.g., due to vCPU id confiliction). However, the
vcpu_load() inside kvm_arch_vcpu_create() may have associate the vCPU to
pCPU via "list_add(&tdx->cpu_list, &per_cpu(associated_tdvcpus, cpu))"
before invoking tdx_vcpu_free().
Though there's no need to invoke tdh_vp_flush() on the vCPU, failing to
dissociate the vCPU from pCPU (i.e., "list_del(&to_tdx(vcpu)->cpu_list)")
will cause list corruption of the per-pCPU list associated_tdvcpus.
Then, a later list_add() during vcpu_load() would detect list corruption
and print calltrace as shown below.
Dissociate a vCPU from its associated pCPU in tdx_vcpu_free() for the vCPUs
destroyed immediately after creation which must be in
VCPU_TD_STATE_UNINITIALIZED state.
