[PATCH] KVM/Eventfd: Avoid crash when assign and deassign same eventfd in parallel.

From: Lan Tianyu
Date: Mon Dec 18 2017 - 00:48:51 EST


Syzroot reports crash in kvm_irqfd_assign() is caused by use-after-free.
Because kvm_irqfd_assign() and kvm_irqfd_deassign() can't run in parallel
for same eventfd. When assign path hasn't been finished after irqfd
has been added to kvm->irqfds.items list, another thead may deassign the
eventfd and free struct kvm_kernel_irqfd(). This causes assign path still
uses struct kvm_kernel_irqfd freed by deassign path. To avoid such issue,
add "initialized" flag in the struct kvm_kernel_irqfd and check the flag before
deactivating irqfd. If irqfd is still in initialization, deassign path
return fault.
