Subject: [RFC][PATCH] kvm: fix a race when closing irq eventfd
While trying to fix a race when closing cgroup eventfd, I took a look
at how kvm deals with this problem, and I found it doesn't.
I may be wrong, as I don't know kvm code, so correct me if I'm.
/*
* Race-free decouple logic (ordering is critical)
*/
static void
irqfd_shutdown(struct work_struct *work)
I don't think it's race-free!
static int
irqfd_wakeup(wait_queue_t *wait, unsigned mode, int sync, void *key)
{
...
* We cannot race against the irqfd going away since the
* other side is required to acquire wqh->lock, which we hold
*/
if (irqfd_is_active(irqfd))
irqfd_deactivate(irqfd);
}
In kvm_irqfd_deassign() and kvm_irqfd_release() where irqfds are freed,
wqh->lock is not acquired!
So here is the race:
CPU0 CPU1
----------------------------------- ---------------------------------
kvm_irqfd_release()
spin_lock(kvm->irqfds.lock);
...
irqfd_deactivate(irqfd);
list_del_init(&irqfd->list);
spin_unlock(kvm->irqfd.lock);
...
close(eventfd)
irqfd_wakeup();
irqfd_shutdown();
remove_waitqueue(irqfd->wait);
kfree(irqfd);
spin_lock(kvm->irqfd.lock);
if (!list_empty(&irqfd->list))
irqfd_deactivate(irqfd);
list_del_init(&irqfd->list);
spin_unlock(kvm->irqfd.lock);
Look, we're accessing irqfd though it has already been freed!
Here's a fix I have. Please enlighten me with a better fix.
