Subject: [PATCH] virtio-mmio: fix guest kernel crash with SHM regions
Date: Sun, 20 Dec 2020 17:35:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201220163539.2255963-1-laurent@vivier.eu> (raw)
In the kernel, virtio_gpu_init() uses virtio_get_shm_region()
since
commit 6076a9711dc5 ("drm/virtio: implement blob resources: probe for host visible region")
but vm_get_shm_region() unconditionally uses VIRTIO_MMIO_SHM_SEL to
get the address and the length of the region.
commit 38e895487afc ("virtio: Implement get_shm_region for MMIO transport"
As this is not implemented in QEMU, address and length are 0 and passed
as is to devm_request_mem_region() that triggers a crash:
[drm:virtio_gpu_init] *ERROR* Could not reserve host visible region
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address (ptrval)
According to the comments in the kernel, a non existent shared region
has a length of (u64)-1.
This is what we return now with this patch to disable the region.
