Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Harden against unpaired kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() calls
Date: Tue,  9 Jan 2024 16:42:39 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240110004239.491290-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)

When handling the end of an mmu_notifier invalidation, WARN if
mn_active_invalidate_count is already 0 do not decrement it further, i.e.
avoid causing mn_active_invalidate_count to underflow/wrap.  In the worst
case scenario, effectively corrupting mn_active_invalidate_count could
cause kvm_swap_active_memslots() to hang indefinitely.

end() calls are *supposed* to be paired with start(), i.e. underflow can
only happen if there is a bug elsewhere in the kernel, but due to lack of
lockdep assertions in the mmu_notifier helpers, it's all too easy for a
bug to go unnoticed for some time, e.g. see the recently introduced
PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl().

Ideally, mmu_notifiers would incorporate lockdep assertions, but users of
mmu_notifiers aren't required to hold any one specific lock, i.e. adding
the necessary annotations to make lockdep aware of all locks that are
mutally exclusive with mm_take_all_locks() isn't trivial.
