In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

KVM: arm64: Unregister redistributor for failed vCPU creation

Alex reports that syzkaller has managed to trigger a use-after-free when tearing down a VM:

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in kvmputkvm+0x300/0xe68 virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:5769 Read of size 8 at addr ffffff801c6890d0 by task syz.3.2219/10758

Upon closer inspection, it appears that we do not properly tear down the MMIO registration for a vCPU that fails creation late in the game, e.g. a vCPU w/ the same ID already exists in the VM.

It is important to consider the context of commit that introduced this bug by moving the unregistration out of _kvmvgicvcpudestroy(). That change correctly sought to avoid an srcu v. configlock inversion by breaking up the vCPU teardown into two parts, one guarded by the configlock.

Fix the use-after-free while avoiding lock inversion by adding a special-cased unregistration to _kvmvgicvcpudestroy(). This is safe because failed vCPUs are torn down outside of the config_lock.
