[PATCH v2 01/10] vhost-scsi: protect vq->log_used with vq->mutex
From: Dongli Zhang
Date: Mon Mar 17 2025 - 19:52:23 EST
The vhost-scsi completion path may access vq->log_base when vq->log_used is
already set to false.
vhost-thread QEMU-thread
vhost_scsi_complete_cmd_work()
-> vhost_add_used()
-> vhost_add_used_n()
if (unlikely(vq->log_used))
QEMU disables vq->log_used
via VHOST_SET_VRING_ADDR.
mutex_lock(&vq->mutex);
vq->log_used = false now!
mutex_unlock(&vq->mutex);
QEMU gfree(vq->log_base)
log_used()
-> log_write(vq->log_base)
Assuming the VMM is QEMU. The vq->log_base is from QEMU userpace and can be
reclaimed via gfree(). As a result, this causes invalid memory writes to
QEMU userspace.
The control queue path has the same issue.

Changed since v1:
- Move lock to the begin and end of vhost_scsi_complete_cmd_work() as it
is per-vq now. This reduces the number of mutex_lock().
- Move this bugfix patch to before dirty log tracking patches.
