[PATCH v2 2/2] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix use after free in case of multiple resize requests

When serving multiple resize requests following could happen:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
kvm_vm_ioctl_resize_hpt_prepare(1);
-> schedule_work()
/* system_rq might be busy: delay */
kvm_vm_ioctl_resize_hpt_prepare(2);
mutex_lock();
if (resize) {
...
release_hpt_resize();
}
... resize_hpt_prepare_work()
-> schedule_work() {
mutex_unlock() /* resize->kvm could be wrong */
struct kvm *kvm = resize->kvm;
mutex_lock(&kvm->lock); <<<< UAF
...
}
i.e. a second resize request with different order could be started by
kvm_vm_ioctl_resize_hpt_prepare(), causing the previous request to be
free()d when there's still an active worker thread which will try to
access it. This leads to a use after free in point marked with UAF on
the diagram above.
To prevent this from happening, instead of unconditionally releasing a
pre-existing resize structure from the prepare ioctl(), we check if
the existing structure has an in-progress worker. We do that by
checking if the resize->error == -EBUSY, which is safe because the
resize->error field is protected by the kvm->lock. If there is an
active worker, instead of releasing, we mark the structure as stale by
unlinking it from kvm_struct.
In the worker thread we check for a stale structure (with kvm->lock
held), and in that case abort, releasing the stale structure ourself.
We make the check both before and the actual allocation. Strictly,
only the check afterwards is needed, the check before is an
optimization: if the structure happens to become stale before the
worker thread is dispatched, rather than during the allocation, it
means we can avoid allocating then immediately freeing a potentially
substantial amount of memory.
This fixes following or similar host kernel crash message:
