Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] x86/sgx: Fix lock ordering bug w/ EADD
Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2019 12:27:12 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190827192717.27312-1-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> (raw)

As discovered by Jarkko, taking mm->mmap_sem around EADD can lead to
deadlock as attempting to acquire mmap_sem while holding encl->lock
violates SGX's lock ordering.

Resolving the issue simply by reversing the lock ordering gets ugly due
to the behavior of sgx_encl_grow(), which has a path that drops encl->lock
in order to do EPC page reclaim, i.e. moving mm->mmap_sem up would require
it to be dropped and reacquired as well.

Luckily, the entire flow can be simplified by preventing userspace from
invoking concurrent ioctls on a single enclave.  Requiring ioctls to be
serialized means encl->lock doesn't need to be held to grow/shrink the
enclave, since only ioctls can grow/shrink the enclave.  This also
eliminates theoretical cases that sgx_encl_grow() has to handle, e.g. the
enclave being initialized while it's waiting on reclaim, since the
protection provided by serializing ioctls isn't dropped to do reclaim.

v2:
  - Make encl->flags an atomic, reuse for "in ioctl" detection. [Jarkko]
  - Drop smp_{r,w}mb() patch as it is superceded by atomic flags. [Jarkko]
  - Tack on two interdependent bug fixes found when auditing encl->flags.
  - Rebase to Jarkko's latest master.

Sean Christopherson (5):
  x86/sgx: Convert encl->flags from an unsigned int to an atomic
  x86/sgx: Reject concurrent ioctls on single enclave
  x86/sgx: Take encl->lock inside of mm->mmap_sem for EADD
  x86/sgx: Reject all ioctls on dead enclaves
  x86/sgx: Destroy the enclave if EEXTEND fails
