# Commit c40b33d72630dcfa506d6fd856532d6152cb97dc # Date 2019-10-31 16:16:37 +0100 # Author George Dunlap <george.dunlap@citrix.com> # Committer Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> x86/mm: Don't drop a type ref unless you held a ref to begin with Validation and de-validation of pagetable trees may take arbitrarily large amounts of time, and so must be preemptible. This is indicated by setting the PGT_partial bit in the type_info, and setting nr_validated_entries and partial_flags appropriately. Specifically, if the entry at [nr_validated_entries] is partially validated, partial_flags should have the PGT_partial_set bit set, and the entry should hold a general reference count. During de-validation, put_page_type() is called on partially validated entries. Unfortunately, there are a number of issues with the current algorithm. First, doing a "normal" put_page_type() is not safe when no type ref is held: there is nothing to stop another vcpu from coming along and picking up validation again: at which point the put_page_type may drop the only page ref on an in-use page. Some examples are listed in the appendix. The core issue is that put_page_type() is being called both to clean up PGT_partial, and to drop a type count; and has no way of knowing which is which; and so if in between, PGT_partial is cleared, put_page_type() will drop the type ref erroneously. What is needed is to distinguish between two states: - Dropping a type ref which is held - Cleaning up a page which has been partially de/validated Fix this by telling put_page_type() which of the two activities you intend. When cleaning up a partial de/validation, take no action unless you find a page partially validated. If put_page_type() is called without PTF_partial_set, and finds the page in a PGT_partial state anyway, then there's certainly been a misaccounting somewhere, and carrying on would almost certainly cause a security issue, so crash the host instead. In put_page_from_lNe, pass partial_flags on to _put_page_type(). old_guest_table may be set either with a fully validated page (when using the "deferred put" pattern), or with a partially validated page (when a normal "de-validation" is interrupted, or when a validation fails part-way through due to invalid entries). Add a flag, old_guest_table_partial, to indicate which of these it is, and use that to pass the appropriate flag to _put_page_type(). While here, delete stray trailing whitespace. This is part of XSA-299.

Consider the following scenario: Suppose A is a page which, when interpreted as an l2, has valid entries until entry x, which is invalid.
