For the duration of mapping eVMCS, it derefences ->memslots without holding ->srcu or ->slots_lock when accessing hv assist page. This patch fixes it by moving nested_sync_vmcs12_to_shadow to prepare_guest_switch, where the SRCU is already taken. It can be reproduced by running kvm's evmcs_test selftest. ============================= warning: suspicious rcu usage 5.6.0-rc1+ #53 tainted: g w ioe ----------------------------- ./include/linux/kvm_host.h:623 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1 1 lock held by evmcs_test/8507: #0: ffff9ddd156d00d0 (&vcpu->mutex){+.+.}, at: kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x85/0x680 [kvm] stack backtrace: cpu: 6 pid: 8507 comm: evmcs_test tainted: g w ioe 5.6.0-rc1+ #53 hardware name: dell inc. optiplex 7040/0jctf8, bios 1.4.9 09/12/2016 call trace: dump_stack+0x68/0x9b kvm_read_guest_cached+0x11d/0x150 [kvm] kvm_hv_get_assist_page+0x33/0x40 [kvm] nested_enlightened_vmentry+0x2c/0x60 [kvm_intel] nested_vmx_handle_enlightened_vmptrld.part.52+0x32/0x1c0 [kvm_intel] nested_sync_vmcs12_to_shadow+0x439/0x680 [kvm_intel] vmx_vcpu_run+0x67a/0xe60 [kvm_intel] vcpu_enter_guest+0x35e/0x1bc0 [kvm] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0x40b/0x670 [kvm] kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0x370/0x680 [kvm] ksys_ioctl+0x235/0x850 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x16/0x20 do_syscall_64+0x77/0x780 entry_syscall_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe Signed-off-by: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@tencent.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
