Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: Take slots_lock when using kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast()
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2019 11:30:32 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191113193032.12912-1-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> (raw)

Acquire the per-VM slots_lock when zapping all shadow pages as part of
toggling nx_huge_pages.  The fast zap algorithm relies on exclusivity
(via slots_lock) to identify obsolete vs. valid shadow pages, e.g. it
uses a single bit for its generation number.  Holding slots_lock also
obviates the need to acquire a read lock on the VM's srcu.

Failing to take slots_lock when toggling nx_huge_pages allows multiple
instances of kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast() to run concurrently, as the other
user, KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION, does not take the global kvm_lock.
Concurrent fast zap instances causes obsolete shadow pages to be
incorrectly identified as valid due to the single bit generation number
wrapping, which results in stale shadow pages being left in KVM's MMU
and leads to all sorts of undesirable behavior.

The bug is easily confirmed by running with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING and
toggling nx_huge_pages via its module param.

Note, the fast zap algorithm could use a 64-bit generation instead of
relying on exclusivity for correctness, but all callers except the
recently added set_nx_huge_pages() need to hold slots_lock anyways.
Given that toggling nx_huge_pages is by no means a fast path, force it
to conform to the current approach instead of reworking the algorithm to
support concurrent calls.
