BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838467 commit 250715a6 upstream. The syzkaller folks reported a NULL pointer dereference that seems to be cause by a race between KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP and KVM_CREATE_PIT2. The former takes kvm->lock (except when registering the devices, which needs kvm->slots_lock); the latter takes kvm->slots_lock only. Change KVM_CREATE_PIT2 to follow the same model as KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP. Testcase: #include <pthread.h> #include <linux/kvm.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <stdint.h> #include <string.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <unistd.h> long r[23]; void* thr1(void* arg) { struct kvm_pit_config pitcfg = { .flags = 4 }; switch ((long)arg) { case 0: r[2] = open("/dev/kvm", O_RDONLY|O_ASYNC); break; case 1: r[3] = ioctl(r[2], KVM_CREATE_VM, 0); break; case 2: r[4] = ioctl(r[3], KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, 0); break; case 3: r[22] = ioctl(r[3], KVM_CREATE_PIT2, &pitcfg); break; } return 0; } int main(int argc, char **argv) { long i; pthread_t th[4]; memset(r, -1, sizeof(r)); for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) { pthread_create(&th[i], 0, thr, (void*)i); if (argc > 1 && rand()%2) usleep(rand()%1000); } usleep(20000); return 0; } Reported-by:
