Subject: [PATCH v2 0/8] KVM: x86/hyperv: Fix racy usage of vcpu->arch.hyperv
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 16:06:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260612230622.687665-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
Fix a bug found by syzkaller (on a Google-internal kernel) where KVM consumes
a vCPU's HyperV structure before it's fully initialized, by concurrently
triggering PV TLB flushes (queues flushes into a vCPU's FIFO without holding
the vCPU's mutex) on a vCPU that is in the process of activating HyperV.
Harden against similar bugs by asserting the vcpu->mutex is held when using
the "normal" to_hv_vcpu(), same as we did for get_vmcs12() and
get_shadow_vmcs12() (also in response to cross-task races). To avoid false
positives when creating a vCPU, initialize vcpu_idx to -1, and treat the vCPU
as unreachable (other than the caller, obviously) if its index is -1.
v2:
- Init vcpu->vcpu_idx to -1, use that as a canary to detect the vCPU is
unreachable, and allow accessing Hyper-V state if the vCPU is otherwise
unreachable. [syzbot]

Sean Christopherson (8):
KVM: x86/hyperv: Get target FIFO in hv_tlb_flush_enqueue(), not caller
KVM: x86/hyperv: Check for NULL vCPU Hyper-V object in
kvm_hv_get_tlb_flush_fifo()
KVM: x86/hyperv: Ensure vCPU's Hyper-V object is initialized on
cross-vCPU accesses
KVM: Initialize a vCPU's index to '-1' while it's being created
KVM: Move nVMX's lockdep logic for vcpu->mutex to a common helper
KVM: x86: Treat a vCPU as unreachable if its index is invalid
KVM: x86/hyperv: Assert vCPU's mutex is held in to_hv_vcpu()
KVM: x86/hyperv: Use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE for cross-task synic->active
accesses
