[PATCH V2 0/4] Prevent vhost kthread from hogging CPU

Hi:

This series try to prevent a guest triggerable CPU hogging through
vhost kthread. This is done by introducing and checking the weight
after each requrest. The patch has been tested with reproducer of
vsock and virtio-net. Only compile test is done for vhost-scsi.

Please review.

This addresses CVE-2019-3900.

Changs from V1:
- fix user-ater-free in vosck patch

Jason Wang (4):
  vhost: introduce vhost_exceeds_weight()
  vhost_net: fix possible infinite loop
  vhost: vsock: add weight support
  vhost: scsi: add weight support

[PATCH V2 1/4] vhost: introduce vhost_exceeds_weight()

We used to have vhost_exceeds_weight() for vhost-net to:

- prevent vhost kthread from hogging the cpu
- balance the time spent between TX and RX

This function could be useful for vsock and scsi as well. So move it
to vhost.c. Device must specify a weight which counts the number of
requests, or it can also specific a byte_weight which counts the
number of bytes that has been processed.

[PATCH V2 2/4] vhost_net: fix possible infinite loop

When the rx buffer is too small for a packet, we will discard the vq
descriptor and retry it for the next packet:

while ((sock_len = vhost_net_rx_peek_head_len(net, sock->sk,
					      &busyloop_intr))) {
...
	/* On overrun, truncate and discard */
	if (unlikely(headcount > UIO_MAXIOV)) {
		iov_iter_init(&msg.msg_iter, READ, vq->iov, 1, 1);
		err = sock->ops->recvmsg(sock, &msg,
					 1, MSG_DONTWAIT | MSG_TRUNC);
		pr_debug("Discarded rx packet: len %zd\n", sock_len);
		continue;
	}
...
}

This makes it possible to trigger a infinite while..continue loop
through the co-opreation of two VMs like:

1) Malicious VM1 allocate 1 byte rx buffer and try to slow down the
   vhost process as much as possible e.g using indirect descriptors or
   other.
2) Malicious VM2 generate packets to VM1 as fast as possible

Fixing this by checking against weight at the end of RX and TX
loop. This also eliminate other similar cases when:

- userspace is consuming the packets in the meanwhile
- theoretical TOCTOU attack if guest moving avail index back and forth
  to hit the continue after vhost find guest just add new buffers

This addresses CVE-2019-3900.

Fixes: d8316f3991d20 ("vhost: fix total length when packets are too
short")
Fixes: 3a4d5c94e9593 ("vhost_net: a kernel-level virtio server")

This patch will check the weight and exit the loop if we exceeds the
weight. This is useful for preventing vsock kthread from hogging cpu
which is guest triggerable. The weight can help to avoid starving the
request from on direction while another direction is being processed.

The value of weight is picked from vhost-net.

This addresses CVE-2019-3900.
