[PATCH 5.4 124/141] KVM: x86: Cancel pvclock_gtod_work on module removal

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon May 17 2021 - 11:32:30 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 594b27e677b35f9734b1969d175ebc6146741109 upstream.

Nothing prevents the following:

pvclock_gtod_notify()
queue_work(system_long_wq, &pvclock_gtod_work);
...
remove_module(kvm);
...
work_queue_run()
pvclock_gtod_work() <- UAF

Ditto for any other operation on that workqueue list head which touches
pvclock_gtod_work after module removal.

Cancel the work in kvm_arch_exit() to prevent that.
