Christoffer Dall fb544d1ca6 KVM: arm/arm64: Fix VMID alloc race by reverting to lock-less ... We recently addressed a VMID generation race by introducing a read/write lock around accesses and updates to the vmid generation values. However, kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() also calls need_new_vmid_gen() but does so without taking the read lock. As far as I can tell, this can lead to the same kind of race: VM 0, VCPU 0 VM 0, VCPU 1 ------------ ------------ update_vttbr (vmid 254) update_vttbr (vmid 1) // roll over read_lock(kvm_vmid_lock); force_vm_exit() local_irq_disable need_new_vmid_gen == false //because vmid gen matches enter_guest (vmid 254) kvm_arch.vttbr = <PGD>:<VMID 1> read_unlock(kvm_vmid_lock); enter_guest (vmid 1) Which results in running two VCPUs in the same VM with different VMIDs and (even worse) other VCPUs from other VMs could now allocate clashing VMID 254 from the new generation as long as VCPU 0 is not exiting. Attempt to solve this by making sure vttbr is updated before another CPU can observe the updated VMID generation.
