Subject: [PATCH] KVM: irqfd: fix race between EPOLLHUP and irq_bypass_register_consumer
Date: Mon, 28 May 2018 13:31:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180528113113.30941-1-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
A comment warning against this bug is there, but the code is not doing what
the comment says. Therefore it is possible that an EPOLLHUP races against
irq_bypass_register_consumer. The EPOLLHUP handler schedules irqfd_shutdown,
and if that runs soon enough, you get a use-after-free.
