Oh, it can not prevent the gpte has been changed, below case will be triggered:
VCPU 0 VCPU 1 VCPU 2
gpte = gfn1 + RO + S + NX
spte = gfn1's pfn + RO + NX
modify gpte: gpte = gfn2 + W + U+ X
(due to unsync-sp or wirte emulation
before calling kvm_mmu_pte_write())
page fault on gpte:
gfn = gfn2
fast page fault:
spte = gfn1's
pfn + W + U + X
(It also can break shadow page
table write-protect)
OOPS!!!
The issue is that gfn does not match with pfn in spte.
Maybe we can properly using sp->gfns[] to avoid it:
- sp->gfns is freed in the RCU context
- sp->gfns[] is initiated to INVALID_GFN
- while spte is dropped, set sp->gfns[] to INVALID_GFN
On fast page fault path, we can check sp->gfns[] with the gfn which is read from
gpte, then do cmpxchg if they are the same.
Then, the thing becomes safe since:
- we have set the identification in the spte before the check, that means we can
perceive the spte change in the later cmpxchg.
- check sp->gfns[] can ensure spte is pointing to gfn's pfn.
