[PATCH] [104/223] KVM: Write protect memory after slot swap

[Andi Kleen]

2.6.35-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit edde99ce05290e50ce0b3495d209e54e6349ab47 upstream.

I have observed the following bug trigger:

1. userspace calls GET_DIRTY_LOG
2. kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access is called and makes a page ro
3. page fault happens and makes the page writeable
   fault is logged in the bitmap appropriately
4. kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log swaps slot pointers

a lot of time passes

5. guest writes into the page
6. userspace calls GET_DIRTY_LOG

At point (5), bitmap is clean and page is writeable,
thus, guest modification of memory is not logged
and GET_DIRTY_LOG returns an empty bitmap.

The rule is that all pages are either dirty in the current bitmap,
or write-protected, which is violated here.

It seems that just moving kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access down
to after the slot pointer swap should fix this bug.
