Subject: [RFC PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: fix general protection fault in kvm_mmu_uninit_tdp_mmu

Syzbot reported GPF in kvm_mmu_uninit_tdp_mmu(), which is caused by
passing NULL pointer to flush_workqueue().

tdp_mmu_zap_wq is allocated via alloc_workqueue() which may fail. There
is no error hanling and kvm_mmu_uninit_tdp_mmu() return value is simply
ignored. Even all kvm_*_init_vm() functions are void, so the easiest
solution is to check that tdp_mmu_zap_wq is valid pointer before passing
it somewhere.

Hi,
unrelated to the patch, but flush_workqueue() is redundant and could be
removed.
destroy_workqueue() already drains the queue.

Just my 2c,

Thanks for the analysis, but not scheduling the work item in
tdp_mmu_schedule_zap_root is broken; you can't just let the roots
survive (KVM uses its own workqueue because it needs to work item to
complete has to flush it before kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast returns).

I'll fix it properly by propagating the error up to kvm_mmu_init_vm and
kvm_arch_init_vm,

Thanks,

Paolo

Ah, I see, thanks for explanation.

I thought about propagating an error up to callers, but
kvm_mmu_uninit_tdp_mmu() returns false with config disabled, so I
decided to implement easiest fix w/o digging into details

sorry about that


With regards,
