[PATCH] KVM: RISC-V: Retry fault if vma_lookup() results become invalid

[David Matlack]

Read mmu_invalidate_seq before dropping the mmap_lock so that KVM can
detect if the results of vma_lookup() (e.g. vma_shift) become stale
before it acquires kvm->mmu_lock. This fixes a theoretical bug where a
VMA could be changed by userspace after vma_lookup() and before KVM
reads the mmu_invalidate_seq, causing KVM to install page table entries
based on a (possibly) no-longer-valid vma_shift.

Re-order the MMU cache top-up to earlier in user_mem_abort() so that it
is not done after KVM has read mmu_invalidate_seq (i.e. so as to avoid
inducing spurious fault retries).

It's unlikely that any sane userspace currently modifies VMAs in such a
way as to trigger this race. And even with directed testing I was unable
to reproduce it. But a sufficiently motivated host userspace might be
able to exploit this race.

Note KVM/ARM had the same bug and was fixed in a separate, near
identical patch (see Link).
