Subject: [PATCH QEMU HCI-8.1 15/21] kvm: fix coalesced MMIO flush racing with kvm_close()
Date: Fri, 09 Oct 2026 17:56:14 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261009-vfio_v1-v1-15-2ae91d5b8048@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261009-vfio_v1-v1-0-2ae91d5b8048@virtuozzo.com>
kvm_close() destroys the vCPUs, which unmaps their kvm_run areas, and the
coalesced MMIO ring lives in the kvm_run area of the first vCPU. Nothing
stops the RCU thread from flushing that ring at the same time: finalizing
a memory region of a freed flatview calls memory_region_transaction_begin()
and thus kvm_flush_coalesced_mmio_buffer(). kvm_state is still set at
that point, so the flush reads the ring after it has been unmapped:
#0 kvm_flush_coalesced_mmio_buffer accel/kvm/kvm-all.c
#1 qemu_flush_coalesced_mmio_buffer
#2 memory_region_transaction_begin
#3 memory_region_finalize
...
#10 flatview_destroy
#11 call_rcu_thread
while the main thread is in:
kvm_close -> cpu_remove_sync
vfio_kvm_device_close
vfio_cpr_kvm_close_notifier (MIG_EVENT_PRECOPY_DONE)
Seen as a SIGSEGV of the old QEMU during repeated cpr-exec of a VM with
a VFIO device.
Clear the ring pointer first, so that new flushes skip it, and wait for
the pending RCU callbacks before destroying the vCPUs.
Fixes: 7ed0919119b0 ("migration: close kvm after cpr")
