This causes problems in several places. - -For L1 tables, on receiving an -ERESTART return from alloc_l1_table(), -alloc_page_type() will set PGT_partial on the page. If for some -reason the original operation never restarts, then on domain -destruction, relinquish_memory() will call free_page_type() on the -page. - -Unfortunately, alloc_ and free_l1_table() aren't set up to deal with -PGT_partial. When returning a failure, alloc_l1_table() always -de-validates whatever it's validated so far, and free_l1_table() -always devalidates the whole page. This means that if -relinquish_memory() calls free_page_type() on an L1 that didn't -complete due to an L1TF, it will call put_page_from_l1e() on "page -entries" that have never been validated. - -For L2+ tables, setting rc to ERESTART causes the rest of the -alloc_lN_table() function to *think* that the entry in question will -have PGT_partial set. This will cause it to set partial_pte = 1. If -relinqush_memory() then calls free_page_type() on one of those pages, -then free_lN_table() will call put_page_from_lNe() on the entry when -it shouldn't. - -Rather than indicating -ERESTART, indicate -EINTR. This is the code -to indicate that nothing has changed from when you started the call -(which is effectively how alloc_l1_table() handles errors). - -mod_lN_entry() shouldn't have any of these types of problems, so leave -potential changes there for a clean-up patch later. - -This is part of XSA-299. - -Reported-by: George Dunlap <george.dunlap@citrix.com> -Signed-off-by: George Dunlap <george.dunlap@citrix.com> -Reviewed-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> ---- - xen/arch/x86/mm.c | 8 ++++---- - 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) - -diff --git a/xen/arch/x86/mm.c b/xen/arch/x86/mm.c -index 3557cd1178..a1b55c10ff 100644 ---- a/xen/arch/x86/mm.c -+++ b/xen/arch/x86/mm.c -@@ -1409,7 +1409,7 @@ static int alloc_l1_table(struct page_info *page) - { - if ( !(l1e_get_flags(pl1e[i]) & _PAGE_PRESENT) ) - { -- ret = pv_l1tf_check_l1e(d, pl1e[i]) ? -ERESTART : 0; -+ ret = pv_l1tf_check_l1e(d, pl1e[i]) ? -EINTR : 0; - if ( ret ) - goto out; - } -@@ -1517,7 +1517,7 @@ static int alloc_l2_table(struct page_info *page, unsigned long type) - { - if ( !pv_l1tf_check_l2e(d, l2e) ) - continue; -- rc = -ERESTART; -+ rc = -EINTR; - } - else - rc = get_page_from_l2e(l2e, pfn, d, partial); -@@ -1603,7 +1603,7 @@ static int alloc_l3_table(struct page_info *page) - { - if ( !pv_l1tf_check_l3e(d, l3e) ) - continue; -- rc = -ERESTART; -+ rc = -EINTR; - } - else - rc = get_page_from_l3e(l3e, pfn, d, partial); -@@ -1783,7 +1783,7 @@ static int alloc_l4_table(struct page_info *page) - { - if ( !pv_l1tf_check_l4e(d, l4e) ) - continue; -- rc = -ERESTART; -+ rc = -EINTR; - } - else - rc = get_page_from_l4e(l4e, pfn, d, partial); --- -2.23.0 - |
