KVM: Write protect memory after slot swap
commit edde99ce05290e50ce0b3495d209e54e6349ab47 upstream. I have observed the following bug trigger: 1. userspace calls GET_DIRTY_LOG 2. kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access is called and makes a page ro 3. page fault happens and makes the page writeable fault is logged in the bitmap appropriately 4. kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log swaps slot pointers a lot of time passes 5. guest writes into the page 6. userspace calls GET_DIRTY_LOG At point (5), bitmap is clean and page is writeable, thus, guest modification of memory is not logged and GET_DIRTY_LOG returns an empty bitmap. The rule is that all pages are either dirty in the current bitmap, or write-protected, which is violated here. It seems that just moving kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access down to after the slot pointer swap should fix this bug. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
