Subject: [PATCH 5.4.y] KVM: x86: Don't (re)check L1 intercepts when completing userspace I/O
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2025 15:30:09 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251013193009.3567346-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025101008-embezzle-energize-3957@gregkh>

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>

[ Upstream commit e750f85391286a4c8100275516973324b621a269 ]

When completing emulation of instruction that generated a userspace exit
for I/O, don't recheck L1 intercepts as KVM has already finished that
phase of instruction execution, i.e. has already committed to allowing L2
to perform I/O.  If L1 (or host userspace) modifies the I/O permission
bitmaps during the exit to userspace,  KVM will treat the access as being
intercepted despite already having emulated the I/O access.

Pivot on EMULTYPE_NO_DECODE to detect that KVM is completing emulation.
Of the three users of EMULTYPE_NO_DECODE, only complete_emulated_io() (the
intended "recipient") can reach the code in question.  gp_interception()'s
use is mutually exclusive with is_guest_mode(), and
complete_emulated_insn_gp() unconditionally pairs EMULTYPE_NO_DECODE with
EMULTYPE_SKIP.

The bad behavior was detected by a syzkaller program that toggles port I/O
interception during the userspace I/O exit, ultimately resulting in a WARN
on vcpu->arch.pio.count being non-zero due to KVM no completing emulation
of the I/O instruction.
