KVM: fix placement of refcount initialization
Reported by syzkaller: ============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage ----------------------------- ./include/linux/kvm_host.h:536 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1 no locks held by repro_11/12688. stack backtrace: Call Trace: dump_stack+0x7d/0xc5 lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x123/0x170 kvm_dev_ioctl+0x9a9/0x1260 [kvm] do_vfs_ioctl+0x1a1/0xfb0 ksys_ioctl+0x6d/0x80 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x73/0xb0 do_syscall_64+0x108/0xaa0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe Commit a97b0e7 (kvm: call kvm_arch_destroy_vm if vm creation fails) sets users_count to 1 before kvm_arch_init_vm(), however, if kvm_arch_init_vm() fails, we need to decrease this count. By moving it earlier, we can push the decrease to out_err_no_arch_destroy_vm without introducing yet another error label. syzkaller source: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/repro.c?x=15209b84e00000 Reported-by: [email protected] Fixes: a97b0e7 ("kvm: call kvm_arch_destroy_vm if vm creation fails") Cc: Jim Mattson <[email protected]> Analyzed-by: Wanpeng Li <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <[email protected]>
