commit ed52870f4676489124d8697fd00e6ae6c504e586 upstream.
The below test case can cause infinite loop in kvm when ept=0.
#include <unistd.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <string.h> #include <stdint.h> #include <linux/kvm.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h>
long r[5]; int main() { r[2] = open("/dev/kvm", O_RDONLY); r[3] = ioctl(r[2], KVM_CREATE_VM, 0); r[4] = ioctl(r[3], KVM_CREATE_VCPU, 7); ioctl(r[4], KVM_RUN, 0); }
It doesn't setup the memory regions, mmu_alloc_shadow/direct_roots() in kvm return 1 when kvm fails to allocate root page table which can result in beblow infinite loop:
vcpu_run() { for (;;) { r = vcpu_enter_guest()::kvm_mmu_reload() returns 1 if (r <= 0) break; if (need_resched()) cond_resched(); } }
This patch fixes it by returning -ENOSPC when there is no available kvm mmu page for root page table.
