eventfd: prevent underflow for eventfd semaphores
[ Upstream commit758b492047
] For eventfd with flag EFD_SEMAPHORE, when its ctx->count is 0, calling eventfd_ctx_do_read will cause ctx->count to overflow to ULLONG_MAX. An underflow can happen with EFD_SEMAPHORE eventfds in at least the following three subsystems: (1) virt/kvm/eventfd.c (2) drivers/vfio/virqfd.c (3) drivers/virt/acrn/irqfd.c where (2) and (3) are just modeled after (1). An eventfd must be specified for use with the KVM_IRQFD ioctl(). This can also be an EFD_SEMAPHORE eventfd. When the eventfd count is zero or has been decremented to zero an underflow can be triggered when the irqfd is shut down by raising the KVM_IRQFD_FLAG_DEASSIGN flag in the KVM_IRQFD ioctl(): // ctx->count == 0 kvm_vm_ioctl() -> kvm_irqfd() -> kvm_irqfd_deassign() -> irqfd_deactivate() -> irqfd_shutdown() -> eventfd_ctx_remove_wait_queue(&cnt) -> eventfd_ctx_do_read(&cnt) Userspace polling on the eventfd wouldn't notice the underflow because 1 is always returned as the value from eventfd_read() while ctx->count would've underflowed. It's not a huge deal because this should only be happening when the irqfd is shutdown but we should still fix it and avoid the spurious wakeup. Fixes:cb289d6244
