Subject: Re: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Add a return code and check kvm_page_track_init
For the shortlog, describe what is being fixed instead of the literal code change,
otherwise the shortlog doesn't help explain _why_ a change is being made.

Newline here to make it easier to differentiate between the splat and the
explanation. Though I would say hoist the explanation of the "why" to the top, e.g.
KVM: x86: Handle SRCU initialization failure during page track init
Check the return of init_srcu_struct(), which can fail due to OOM, when
initializing the page track mechanism. Lack of checking leads to a NULL
pointer deref found by a modified syzkaller.
<splat goes here>

Just do "return 0", which is guaranteed by the above. Or even better, I would
vote for returning init_srcu_struct() directly, the ordering doesn't matter and
obviously failure is a very rare occurence.

Hmm, so I don't see anything above this that needs to be unwound, but I'm still
worried this will be hard to audit/maintain.
As an alternative "fix", about dropping kvm->arch.track_notifier_head.track_srcu
and using kvm->srcu? kvm_page_track_write() pretty much _has_ to hold that since
the caller is writing guest memory, and conversely kvm_page_track_flush_slot()
_can't_ hold it because the caller is modifying memslots and thus would deadlock
if it held kvm->srcu for read. In other words, kvm_page_track_write() can rely
(assert?) on vcpu->srcu_idx, and kvm_page_track_flush_slot() can take and release
kvm->srcu.
Practially speaking, (Un)Registering is going to happen only at VM creation so
waiting all kvm->srcu readers instead of just page track readers should not be a
problem.
