Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: do not pass poisoned hva to __kvm_set_memory_region
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2020 14:01:59 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200611180159.26085-1-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
__kvm_set_memory_region does not use the hva at all, so trying to
catch use-after-delete is pointless and, worse, it fails access_ok
now that we apply it to all memslots including private kernel ones.
This fixes an AVIC regression.
Fixes: 09d952c971a5 ("KVM: check userspace_addr for all memslots", 2020-06-01)
Reported-by: Maxim Levitsky <mlevitsk@redhat.com>
