Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] vfio/cdx: Serialize VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS with a per-device mutex
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 14:27:57 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260417202800.88287-3-alex.williamson@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260417202800.88287-1-alex.williamson@nvidia.com>

vfio_cdx_set_msi_trigger() reads vdev->config_msi and operates on the
vdev->cdx_irqs array based on its value, but provides no serialization
against concurrent VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS ioctls.  Two callers can race
such that one observes config_msi as set while another clears it and
frees cdx_irqs via vfio_cdx_msi_disable(), resulting in a use-after-free
of the cdx_irqs array.

Add a cdx_irqs_lock mutex to struct vfio_cdx_device and acquire it in
vfio_cdx_set_msi_trigger(), which is the single chokepoint through
which all updates to config_msi, cdx_irqs, and msi_count flow, covering
both the ioctl path and the close-device cleanup path.  This keeps the
test of config_msi atomic with the subsequent enable, disable, or
trigger operations.

Drop the pre-call !cdx_irqs test from vfio_cdx_irqs_cleanup() as part
of this change: the optimization it provided is redundant with the
!config_msi early-return inside vfio_cdx_msi_disable(), and leaving the
test in place would be an unsynchronized read of state the new lock is
meant to protect.
