[PATCH 4.9 06/23] KVM: PPC: Fix oops when checking KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Oct 31 2017 - 05:57:31 EST
4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Greg Kurz <groug@xxxxxxxx>
commit ac64115a66c18c01745bbd3c47a36b124e5fd8c0 upstream.
The following program causes a kernel oops:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <linux/kvm.h>
main()
{
int fd = open("/dev/kvm", O_RDWR);
ioctl(fd, KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION, KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM);
}
This happens because when using the global KVM fd with
KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION, kvm_vm_ioctl_check_extension() gets
called with a NULL kvm argument, which gets dereferenced
in is_kvmppc_hv_enabled(). Spotted while reading the code.
Let's use the hv_enabled fallback variable, like everywhere
else in this function.
