KVM: arm64: vgic: Mitigate potential LPI registration failure
Mitigate a potential failure when inserting a new LPI into the VGIC LPI xarray. When vgic_add_lpi() is preparing to register a new LPI, it pre-allocates an xarray entry using xa_reserve_irq(), so that it can later perform the insertion under the xarray lock without allocating. However, since xa_reserve_irq() is called before acquiring such lock, there is a potential race where xa_reserve_irq() observes a populated entry, thus not performing the allocation, and another CPU removes that entry before the xarray lock is grabbed to perform the insertion. CPU0 (Adding new LPI) CPU1 (Releasing LPI) ===================== =================== vgic_add_lpi() /* Entry populated, does not allocate */ xa_reserve_irq(.., intid, ..) vgic_release_deleted_lpis() xa_lock_irqsave() vgic_release_lpi_locked() xarray node freed --> __xa_erase(.., intid) xa_unlock_irqrestore() xa_lock_irqsave() xa_load(.., intid) == NULL vgic_try_get_irq_ref(NULL) == false __xa_store(.., intid, irq, 0) <-- xarray node was freed, gfp=0 cannot allocate, returns -ENOMEM This can happen e.g. if the guest issues a DISCARD while the LPI is still referenced from a vCPU's active-pending list (ap_list), and the same INTID is re-mapped via MAPTI. Mitigate this by passing GFP_NOWAIT to __xa_store(), so that the allocation can happen under the lock in the rare case that this condition is hit. Add __GFP_ACCOUNT as well to match xa_reserve_irq()'s flags.
