Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider: Pre-existing issues: - [High] The `kvm_arch_vcpu_create` function leaks the MMU cache on error paths. - [High] Memory leak of protected VCPU storage base (`stor_base`) and SIDA pages when `uv_call` fails in `kvm_s390_pv_create_cpu()`. -- --- Patch [3]: [PATCH v7 03/14] KVM: s390: Fix kvm_s390_vcpu_unsetup_cmma() --- commit a13468185076d541edaaa78721cdc3f5e4915351 Author: Claudio Imbrenda <[email protected]> KVM: s390: Fix kvm_s390_vcpu_unsetup_cmma() This patch fixes an issue in kvm_s390_vcpu_unsetup_cmma() where a 0 cbrlo could cause free_page() to attempt to free physical page 0 when running with V != R. It adds a check to only free cbrlo if it is non-zero. > diff --git a/arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c b/arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c > index 1b3290a5ad1ae..9be27db0a21e6 100644 > --- a/arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c > +++ b/arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c > @@ -3678,7 +3678,8 @@ static void kvm_s390_vcpu_crypto_setup(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) > > void kvm_s390_vcpu_unsetup_cmma(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) > { > - free_page((unsigned long)phys_to_virt(vcpu->arch.sie_block->cbrlo)); > + if (vcpu->arch.sie_block->cbrlo) > + free_page((unsigned long)phys_to_virt(vcpu->arch.sie_block->cbrlo)); > vcpu->arch.sie_block->cbrlo = 0; > } > [Severity: High] This isn't a regression introduced by this patch, but the kvm_arch_vcpu_create function appears to leak the MMU cache on error paths: arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c:kvm_arch_vcpu_create() { ... if (kvm_is_ucontrol(vcpu->kvm)) { rc = -ENOMEM; vcpu->arch.gmap = gmap_new_child(vcpu->kvm->arch.gmap, -1UL); if (!vcpu->arch.gmap) goto out_free_sie_block; } ... out_free_sie_block: free_page((unsigned long)(vcpu->arch.sie_block)); return rc; } Can this leak vcpu->arch.mc? If vcpu creation fails after it is allocated, the error path jumps to out_free_sie_block, but it doesn't seem to free vcpu->arch.mc. Since kvm->created_vcpus is decremented upon failure, could an unprivileged user repeatedly call KVM_CREATE_VCPU to trigger failures and exhaust kernel memory? [Severity: High] This is a pre-existing regression, but there is also a potential memory leak of the protected vcpu storage base (stor_base) and SIDA pages when uv_call() fails: arch/s390/kvm/pv.c:kvm_s390_pv_create_cpu() { ... cc = uv_call(0, (u64)&uvcb); ... if (cc) { u16 dummy; kvm_s390_pv_destroy_cpu(vcpu, &dummy, &dummy); return -EIO; } ... } arch/s390/kvm/pv.c:kvm_s390_pv_destroy_cpu() { ... if (!kvm_s390_pv_cpu_get_handle(vcpu)) return 0; ... } Since the handle is only set after a successful uv_call(), does the early return in kvm_s390_pv_destroy_cpu() silently skip freeing vcpu->arch.pv.stor_base and the sidad page? Could this be reached by a user repeatedly calling KVM_CREATE_VCPU on a protected VM to trigger failures, leading to a host denial of service? -- Sashiko AI review ยท https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/[email protected]?part=3
