Subject: [PATCH 1/3] KVM: Properly unwind VM creation if creating debugfs fails
Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2022 05:39:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220816053937.2477106-2-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220816053937.2477106-1-seanjc@google.com>

Properly unwind VM creation if kvm_create_vm_debugfs() fails.  A recent
change to invoke kvm_create_vm_debug() in kvm_create_vm() was led astray
by buggy try_get_module() handling adding by commit 5f6de5cbebee ("KVM:
Prevent module exit until all VMs are freed").  The debugfs error path
effectively inherits the bad error path of try_module_get(), e.g. KVM
leaves the to-be-free VM on vm_list even though KVM appears to do the
right thing by calling module_put() and falling through.

Opportunistically hoist kvm_create_vm_debugfs() above the call to
kvm_arch_post_init_vm() so that the "post-init" arch hook is actually
invoked after the VM is initialized (ignoring kvm_coalesced_mmio_init()
for the moment).  x86 is the only non-nop implementation of the post-init
hook, and it doesn't allocate/initialize any objects that are reachable
via debugfs code (spawns a kthread worker for the NX huge page mitigation).

Leave the buggy try_get_module() alone for now, it will be fixed in a
separate commit.

Fixes: b74ed7a68ec1 ("KVM: Actually create debugfs in kvm_create_vm()")
