We recently addressed a VMID generation race by introducing a read/write
lock around accesses and updates to the vmid generation values.
However, kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() also calls need_new_vmid_gen() but
does so without taking the read lock.
As far as I can tell, this can lead to the same kind of race:
VM 0, VCPU 0 VM 0, VCPU 1
------------ ------------
update_vttbr (vmid 254)
update_vttbr (vmid 1) // roll over
read_lock(kvm_vmid_lock);
force_vm_exit()
local_irq_disable
need_new_vmid_gen == false //because vmid gen matches
enter_guest (vmid 254)
kvm_arch.vttbr = <PGD>:<VMID 1>
read_unlock(kvm_vmid_lock);
enter_guest (vmid 1)
Which results in running two VCPUs in the same VM with different VMIDs
and (even worse) other VCPUs from other VMs could now allocate clashing
VMID 254 from the new generation as long as VCPU 0 is not exiting.
Attempt to solve this by making sure vttbr is updated before another CPU
can observe the updated VMID generation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
