Subject: [PATCH 3/5] KVM: mips: Grab MMU lock in kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all()
Date: Mon, 4 May 2026 22:42:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260504224213.1049426-4-jthoughton@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260504224213.1049426-1-jthoughton@google.com>
kvm_mips_flush_gpa_pt() expects the MMU lock to be held; it is not in
this path.
This can lead to a double-free of page table entries if
kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all() is called twice on the same `kvm`
concurrently; such a scenario is possible.
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: b62091108633 ("KVM: MIPS: Implement kvm_arch_flush_shadow_all/memslot")
