[PATCH] KVM: SEV: Reject non-positive effective lengths during LAUNCH_UPDATE

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Check for an invalid length during LAUNCH_UPDATE at the start of
snp_launch_update() instead of subtly relying on kvm_gmem_populate() to
detect the bad state.  Code that directly handles userspace input
absolutely should sanitize those inputs; failure to do so is asking for
bugs where KVM consumes an invalid "npages".

Keep the check in gmem, but wrap it in a WARN to flag any bad usage by
the caller.

Note, this is technically an ABI change as KVM would previously allow a
length of '0'.  But allowing a length of '0' is nonsensical and creates
pointless conundrums in KVM.  E.g. an empty range is arguably neither
private nor shared, but LAUNCH_UPDATE will fail if the starting gpa can't
be made private.  In practice, no known or well-behaved VMM passes a
length of '0'.

Compile tested only.  Came across this when trying to figure out how to
handle the batching of gmem post-populate calls.
