From 722b78bc8a42b6910c291266e87abe2e63dc750f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Bellinger Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2013 10:44:15 -0700 Subject: vhost/scsi: Fix incorrect usage of get_user_pages_fast write parameter commit 60a01f558af9c48b0bb31f303c479e32721add3f upstream. This patch addresses a long-standing bug where the get_user_pages_fast() write parameter used for setting the underlying page table entry permission bits was incorrectly set to write=1 for data_direction=DMA_TO_DEVICE, and passed into get_user_pages_fast() via vhost_scsi_map_iov_to_sgl(). However, this parameter is intended to signal WRITEs to pinned userspace PTEs for the virtio-scsi DMA_FROM_DEVICE -> READ payload case, and *not* for the virtio-scsi DMA_TO_DEVICE -> WRITE payload case. This bug would manifest itself as random process segmentation faults on KVM host after repeated vhost starts + stops and/or with lots of vhost endpoints + LUNs. Cc: Stefan Hajnoczi Cc: Michael S.
