    KVM: PPC: Book3S: Fix race and leak in kvm_vm_ioctl_create_spapr_tce() · 47c5310a
    Paul Mackerras authored
    Nixiaoming pointed out that there is a memory leak in
    kvm_vm_ioctl_create_spapr_tce() if the call to anon_inode_getfd()
    fails; the memory allocated for the kvmppc_spapr_tce_table struct
    is not freed, and nor are the pages allocated for the iommu
    tables.  In addition, we have already incremented the process's
    count of locked memory pages, and this doesn't get restored on
    error.
    
    David Hildenbrand pointed out that there is a race in that the
    function checks early on that there is not already an entry in the
    stt->iommu_tables list with the same LIOBN, but an entry with the
    same LIOBN could get added between then and when the new entry is
    added to the list.
    
    This fixes all three problems.  To simplify things, we now call
    anon_inode_getfd() before placing the new entry in the list.  The
    check for an existing entry is done while holding the kvm->lock
    mutex, immediately before adding the new entry to the list.
    Finally, on failure we now call kvmppc_account_memlimit to
    decrement the process's count of locked memory pages.
