Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y] KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Don't dereference a NULL collection on ITT save
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 17:45:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261022174537.2767-2-aarnahmd@amazon.com> (raw)
From: Fuad Tabba <fuad.tabba@linux.dev>
[ Upstream commit c6c156d931c33b92362383cf76f6d6e1291dcbfe ]
MAPC with V=0 drops ite->collection but leaves the ITE on the device's
ITT list, and vgic_its_save_ite() dereferences it unconditionally. A
guest that issues MAPD, MAPTI and then MAPC(V=0) therefore oopses the
host when the VMM issues KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_SAVE_TABLES to migrate it.
That sequence is UNPREDICTABLE per the architecture, but KVM already
handles the resulting state in the translate, MOVI and DISCARD paths.
Save a zeroed entry, which vgic_its_restore_ite() reads back as
invalid. Skipping the ITE instead would leave the ITT slot holding
whatever is in guest memory, and restore rejects an entry naming a
collection the restored collection table does not have.
Fixes: eff484e0298da ("KVM: arm64: vgic-its: ITT save and restore")

[aarnahmd: Upstream vgic_its_write_entry_lock() takes in the kind of table
entry (ite) and looks up its size, while 5.15 takes in the size of an ite
directly via ite_esz, because commit 3b2c81d5feb2 ("KVM: arm64: vgic-its:
Add stronger type-checking to the ITS entry sizes") is not in 5.15.]
