KVM: Prevent module exit until all VMs are freed
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.110 commit eccfee44949d2d8ac9675d5b3f29cacaed5ba6c8 bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I574AL Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=eccfee44949d2d8ac9675d5b3f29cacaed5ba6c8 -------------------------------- commit 5f6de5cb upstream. Tie the lifetime the KVM module to the lifetime of each VM via kvm.users_count. This way anything that grabs a reference to the VM via kvm_get_kvm() cannot accidentally outlive the KVM module. Prior to this commit, the lifetime of the KVM module was tied to the lifetime of /dev/kvm file descriptors, VM file descriptors, and vCPU file descriptors by their respective file_operations "owner" field. This approach is insufficient because references grabbed via kvm_get_kvm() do not prevent closing any of the aforementioned file descriptors. This fixes a long standing theoretical bug in KVM that at least affects async page faults. kvm_setup_async_pf() grabs a reference via kvm_get_kvm(), and drops it in an asynchronous work callback. Nothing prevents the VM file descriptor from being closed and the KVM module from being unloaded before this callback runs.
