KVM: x86/mmu: Fix per-cpu counter corruption on 32-bit builds
stable inclusion from stable-5.10.58 commit 7a2b5bb00f5474a435d69ae03d4e3067d1450830 bugzilla: 176984 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4E2P4 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=7a2b5bb00f5474a435d69ae03d4e3067d1450830 -------------------------------- commit d5aaad6f upstream. Take a signed 'long' instead of an 'unsigned long' for the number of pages to add/subtract to the total number of pages used by the MMU. This fixes a zero-extension bug on 32-bit kernels that effectively corrupts the per-cpu counter used by the shrinker. Per-cpu counters take a signed 64-bit value on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels, whereas kvm_mod_used_mmu_pages() takes an unsigned long and thus an unsigned 32-bit value on 32-bit kernels. As a result, the value used to adjust the per-cpu counter is zero-extended (unsigned -> signed), not sign-extended (signed -> signed), and so KVM's intended -1 gets morphed to 4294967295 and effectively corrupts the counter. This was found by a staggering amount of sheer dumb luck when running kvm-unit-tests on a 32-bit KVM build. The shrinker just happened to kick in while running tests and do_shrink_slab() logged an error about trying to free a negative number of objects. The truly lucky part is that the kernel just happened to be a slightly stale build, as the shrinker no longer yells about negative objects as of commit 18bb473e ("mm: vmscan: shrink deferred objects proportional to priority"). vmscan: shrink_slab: mmu_shrink_scan+0x0/0x210 [kvm] negative objects to delete nr=-858993460 Fixes: bc8a3d89 ("kvm: mmu: Fix overflow on kvm mmu page limit calculation") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Ben Gardon <bgardon@google.com> Signed-off-by:Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com> Message-Id: <20210804214609.1096003-1-seanjc@google.com> Reviewed-by:
