commit 2989be09a8a9d62a785137586ad941f916e08f83 upstream.

KASan detected a use-after-free error in virtio-pci remove code. In
virtio_pci_remove(), vp_dev is still used after being freed in
unregister_virtio_device() (in virtio_pci_release_dev() more
precisely).

To fix, keep a reference until cleanup is done.

commit f68b992bbb474641881932c61c92dcfa6f5b3689 upstream.

During my compaction-related stuff, I encountered a bug
with ballooning.

With repeated inflating and deflating cycle, guest memory(
ie, cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal) is decreased and
couldn't be recovered.

The reason is balloon_lock doesn't cover release_pages_balloon
so struct virtio_balloon fields could be overwritten by race
of fill_balloon(e,g, vb-&gt;*pfns could be critical).

This patch fixes it in my test.

commit c13f99b7e945dad5273a8b7ee230f4d1f22d3354 upstream.

The virtio core uses a static ida named virtio_index_ida for
assigning index numbers to virtio devices during registration.
The ida core may allocate some internal idr cache layers and
an ida bitmap upon any ida allocation, and all these layers are
truely freed only upon the ida destruction. The virtio_index_ida
is not destroyed at present, leading to a memory leak when using
the virtio core as a module and atleast one virtio device is
registered and unregistered.

Fix this by invoking ida_destroy() in the virtio core module
exit.

The cpumask vp_dev-&gt;msix_affinity_masks[info-&gt;msix_vector] may contain
staled information when vp_set_vq_affinity() gets called, so clear it
before setting the new cpu bit mask.

commit a1eb03f546d651a8f39c7d0692b1f7f5b4e7e3cd upstream.

The reason we defer kfree until release function is because it's a
general rule for kobjects: kfree of the reference counter itself is only
legal in the release function.

Previous patch didn't make this clear, document this in code.

commit 63bd62a08ca45a0c804c3c89777edc7f76a2d6da upstream.

A struct device which has just been unregistered can live on past the
point at which a driver decides to drop it's initial reference to the
kobject gained on allocation.

This implies that when releasing a virtio device, we can't free a struct
virtio_device until the underlying struct device has been released,
which might not happen immediately on device_unregister().

Unfortunately, this is exactly what virtio pci does:
it has an empty release callback, and frees memory immediately
after unregistering the device.

This causes an easy to reproduce crash if CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE
it enabled.

To fix, free the memory only once we know the device is gone in the release
callback.

<title>virtio_pci: fix virtio spec compliance on restore</title>

commit 6fbc198cf623944ab60a1db6d306a4d55cdd820d upstream.

On restore, virtio pci does the following:
+ set features
+ init vqs etc - device can be used at this point!
+ set ACKNOWLEDGE,DRIVER and DRIVER_OK status bits

This is in violation of the virtio spec, which
requires the following order:
- ACKNOWLEDGE
- DRIVER
- init vqs
- DRIVER_OK

This behaviour will break with hypervisors that assume spec compliant
behaviour.  It seems like a good idea to have this patch applied to
stable branches to reduce the support butden for the hypervisors.

Heinz points out that adding buffers to a broken virtqueue (which
should "never happen") still works.  Failing allows drivers to detect
and complain about broken devices.

Now drivers are robust, we can add this extra check.

A bad implementation of virtio might cause us to mark the virtqueue
broken: we'll dev_err() in that case, and the device is useless, but
