Subject: [KVM PATCH v3 1/3] KVM: fix race in irq_routing logic
The current code suffers from the following race condition:
thread-1 thread-2
-----------------------------------------------------------
kvm_set_irq() {
rcu_read_lock()
irq_rt = rcu_dereference(table);
rcu_read_unlock();
kvm_set_irq_routing() {
mutex_lock();
irq_rt = table;
rcu_assign_pointer();
mutex_unlock();
synchronize_rcu();
kfree(irq_rt);
irq_rt->entry->set(); /* bad */
-------------------------------------------------------------
Because the pointer is accessed outside of the read-side critical
section. There are two basic patterns we can use to fix this bug:
1) Switch to sleeping-rcu and encompass the ->set() access within the
read-side critical section,
OR
2) Add reference counting to the irq_rt structure, and simply acquire
the reference from within the RSCS.
This patch implements solution (1).
