Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] Drivers: hv: util: Avoid accessing a ringbuffer not initialized yet
From: Michael Kelley <mhklinux@...look.com>
If the KVP (or VSS) daemon starts before the VMBus channel's ringbuffer is
fully initialized, we can hit the panic below:
hv_utils: Registering HyperV Utility Driver
hv_vmbus: registering driver hv_utils
...
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
CPU: 44 UID: 0 PID: 2552 Comm: hv_kvp_daemon Tainted: G E 6.11.0-rc3+ #1
RIP: 0010:hv_pkt_iter_first+0x12/0xd0
Call Trace:

kvp_register_done
hvt_op_read
vfs_read
ksys_read
__x64_sys_read
This can happen because the KVP/VSS channel callback can be invoked
even before the channel is fully opened:
1) as soon as hv_kvp_init() -> hvutil_transport_init() creates
/dev/vmbus/hv_kvp, the kvp daemon can open the device file immediately and
register itself to the driver by writing a message KVP_OP_REGISTER1 to the
file (which is handled by kvp_on_msg() ->kvp_handle_handshake()) and
reading the file for the driver's response, which is handled by
hvt_op_read(), which calls hvt->on_read(), i.e. kvp_register_done().
2) the problem with kvp_register_done() is that it can cause the
channel callback to be called even before the channel is fully opened,
and when the channel callback is starting to run, util_probe()->
vmbus_open() may have not initialized the ringbuffer yet, so the
callback can hit the panic of NULL pointer dereference.
To reproduce the panic consistently, we can add a "ssleep(10)" for KVP in
__vmbus_open(), just before the first hv_ringbuffer_init(), and then we
unload and reload the driver hv_utils, and run the daemon manually within
the 10 seconds.
Fix the panic by reordering the steps in util_probe() so the char dev
entry used by the KVP or VSS daemon is not created until after
vmbus_open() has completed. This reordering prevents the race condition
from happening.

Changes in v2:
v2 is a completely different approach to fixing the problem compared
to v1 [1]. v1 adds synchronization to deal with the race condition if
it happens. This v2 reorders initialization steps so the race condition
can never happen in the first place.
Note: we would also need to fix the fcopy driver code, but that has
been removed in commit ec314f61e4fc ("Drivers: hv: Remove fcopy driver")
in the mainline kernel since v6.10. For old 6.x LTS kernels, and the 5.x
and 4.x LTS kernels, the fcopy driver needs to be fixed when the
fix is backported to the stable kernel branches.
