Subject: [PATCH v2] arm: p2m.c bug-fix: hypervisor hang on __p2m_get_mem_access
Date: Wed,  3 Feb 2016 13:37:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1454499464-7278-1-git-send-email-czuzu@bitdefender.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1453808778-4292-1-git-send-email-czuzu@bitdefender.com>

When __p2m_get_mem_access gets called, the p2m lock is already taken
by either get_page_from_gva or p2m_get_mem_access.
Possible code paths:
1)	-> get_page_from_gva
		-> p2m_mem_access_check_and_get_page
			-> __p2m_get_mem_access
2)	-> p2m_get_mem_access
		-> __p2m_get_mem_access

In both cases if __p2m_get_mem_access subsequently gets to
call p2m_lookup (happens if !radix_tree_lookup(...)), a hypervisor
hang will occur, since p2m_lookup also spin-locks on the p2m lock.

This bug-fix simply replaces the p2m_lookup call from __p2m_get_mem_access
with a call to __p2m_lookup and also adds an ASSERT to ensure that the p2m lock
is already taken upon __p2m_get_mem_access entry.
