In kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu(), add vcpu to vcpu_array iff it's safe to
access vcpu via kvm_get_vcpu() and kvm_for_each_vcpu(), i.e. when there's
no failure path requiring vcpu removal and destruction. Such order is
important because vcpu_array accessors may end up referencing vcpu at
vcpu_array[0] even before online_vcpus is set to 1.
When online_vcpus=0, any call to kvm_get_vcpu() goes through
array_index_nospec() and ends with an attempt to xa_load(vcpu_array, 0):
int num_vcpus = atomic_read(&kvm->online_vcpus);
i = array_index_nospec(i, num_vcpus);
return xa_load(&kvm->vcpu_array, i);
Similarly, when online_vcpus=0, a kvm_for_each_vcpu() does not iterate over
an "empty" range, but actually [0, ULONG_MAX]:
xa_for_each_range(&kvm->vcpu_array, idx, vcpup, 0, \
(atomic_read(&kvm->online_vcpus) - 1))
In both cases, such online_vcpus=0 edge case, even if leading to
unnecessary calls to XArray API, should not be an issue; requesting
unpopulated indexes/ranges is handled by xa_load() and xa_for_each_range().
However, this means that when the first vCPU is created and inserted in
vcpu_array *and* before online_vcpus is incremented, code calling
kvm_get_vcpu()/kvm_for_each_vcpu() already has access to that first vCPU.
This should not pose a problem assuming that once a vcpu is stored in
vcpu_array, it will remain there, but that's not the case:
kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu() first inserts to vcpu_array, then requests a
file descriptor. If create_vcpu_fd() fails, newly inserted vcpu is removed
from the vcpu_array, then destroyed:
vcpu->vcpu_idx = atomic_read(&kvm->online_vcpus);
r = xa_insert(&kvm->vcpu_array, vcpu->vcpu_idx, vcpu, GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT);
kvm_get_kvm(kvm);
r = create_vcpu_fd(vcpu);
if (r < 0) {
xa_erase(&kvm->vcpu_array, vcpu->vcpu_idx);
kvm_put_kvm_no_destroy(kvm);
goto unlock_vcpu_destroy;
}
atomic_inc(&kvm->online_vcpus);
This results in a possible race condition when a reference to a vcpu is
acquired (via kvm_get_vcpu() or kvm_for_each_vcpu()) moments before said
vcpu is destroyed.
