Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: fix access memslots w/o hold srcu read lock

The srcu read lock must be held while accessing memslots (e.g.
when using gfn_to_* functions), however, commit c24ae0dcd3e8
("kvm: x86: Unpin and remove kvm_arch->apic_access_page") call
gfn_to_page() in kvm_vcpu_reload_apic_access_page() w/o hold it
which leads to suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage warning.
This patch fix it by holding srcu read lock when call gfn_to_page()
in kvm_vcpu_reload_apic_access_page() function.

There's another scenario that we already hold srcu before call
kvm_vcpu_reload_apic_access_page(),

__vcpu_run()
|
+ vcpu->srcu_idx = srcu_read_lock(&kvm->srcu);
+ r = vcpu_enter_guest(vcpu);
|
+ kvm_vcpu_reload_apic_access_page(vcpu);

So according to backtrace I think we should fix as follows:

kvm: x86: vmx: hold kvm->srcu while reload apic access page

kvm_vcpu_reload_apic_access_page() needs to access memslots via
gfn_to_page(), so its necessary to hold kvm->srcu.

You are right. Great thanks for your pointing out. After recheck all the
callsites of kvm_vcpu_reload_apic_access_page(), just vmx_vcpu_reset()
path need to be fixed.

Not enough; you can call vcpu_enter_guest -> kvm_apic_accept_events ->
kvm_vcpu_reset -> vmx_vcpu_reset while under the SRCU lock. The right
place to add the lock is kvm_arch_vcpu_setup.

Ah, ok, I will send a newer version tomorrow. ;-)

This is also not enough. I see the warning in the below path during the
test:

kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run
-> kvm_apic_accept_events
-> kvm_vcpu_reset

I just send out the version 3 and hope it can take care all the
situations. ;-)

Hmm, better bypass the problem altogether:
