[PATCH] s390/vfio-ap: fix stale pqap_hook pointer on error in vfio_ap_mdev_set_kvm()
Posted by Anthony Krowiak 2 days, 8 hours ago
In vfio_ap_mdev_set_kvm(), kvm->arch.crypto.pqap_hook is set to
&matrix_mdev->pqap_hook before the update locks are acquired and the
mdev list is checked for a conflicting assignment. If another mdev is
already attached to the same KVM instance, the function returns -EPERM
without restoring the hook pointer, leaving kvm->arch.crypto.pqap_hook
pointing at the failing matrix_mdev instead of the mdev that legitimately
owns the KVM.

Since matrix_mdev->kvm is never set on this error path,
vfio_ap_mdev_unset_kvm() will not clean up the hook when matrix_mdev
is later closed. If matrix_mdev is subsequently freed, any PQAP
instruction executed by the guest will dereference the stale pointer
through pqap_hook_rwsem, resulting in a use-after-free.

Fix this by restoring kvm->arch.crypto.pqap_hook to &m->pqap_hook on
the -EPERM path, where m is the already-attached mdev discovered during
the conflict check. This is the value the hook held before it was
overwritten, and it is the only safe value to restore since m remains
live and its pqap_hook is the handler the guest must continue to use.

The rwsem is re-taken under write before restoring the pointer, which
is consistent with the existing locking pattern and ensures no VCPU
thread can observe a torn value.
