Subject: [PATCH] vfio/nvgrace-gpu: Skip PFN registration for empty memory regions
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 18:10:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260925161024.189771-1-parri.andrea@gmail.com> (raw)
nvgrace_gpu_open_device() registers nvdev->resmem only when it has a
length, but registers nvdev->usemem unconditionally. In fallback mode,
where the ACPI memory properties are missing or the C2C link is down,
usemem.memlength is zero, so the empty region is still registered.
register_pfn_address_space() then inserts a node covering
[0, ULONG_MAX]. Nothing removes it, because the fallback device table
closes through vfio_pci_core_close_device() rather than
nvgrace_gpu_close_device(). A second open fails with -EBUSY, and once
the device is unbound the node outlives the nvdev that contains it, so a
later registration or a memory-failure event walks freed memory.
The node also captures every memory-failure report for a PFN with no
struct page. The callback rejects every VMA of the fallback device, so
no process is killed, but the failure is logged as MF_RECOVERED rather
than MF_IGNORED.
Guard the usemem registration with its length, matching the resmem
handling. Fallback mode then registers nothing and the existing close
path is correct. Guard the unregistration the same way.
On the unfixed tree a second open after unbind reports:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in interval_tree_iter_first+0x209/0x310
...
interval_tree_iter_first+0x209/0x310
register_pfn_address_space+0x97/0x100
nvgrace_gpu_open_device+0x21c/0x730
vfio_df_open+0x213/0x520
...
Allocated by task 152:
_vfio_alloc_device+0x3a/0x500
nvgrace_gpu_probe+0xcb/0x660
The fix should be safe because memlength already decided whether the
range was meaningful: full mode always has a nonzero usemem.memlength,
and fallback mode never calls nvgrace_gpu_close_device(). The guard
only skips a registration that could never have been unregistered.

Tested on x86-64 under virtme-ng with KASAN, not on Grace hardware. The
driver was bound through driver_override to a QEMU cxl-type3 function,
whose CXL Device DVSEC reports the memory as valid and active, so probe
takes the fallback path; the device was opened through a noiommu VFIO
cdev. Without the patch the second open fails with -EBUSY and, after
unbind and rebind, the next open hits the KASAN report quoted above.
With the patch neither happens.
