[ Upstream commit9e0f4f2918] kvm_vfio_group_add() creates kvg instance, links it to kv->group_list, and calls kvm_vfio_file_set_kvm() with kvg->file as an argument after dropping kv->lock. If we race group addition and deletion calls, kvg instance may get freed by the time we get around to calling kvm_vfio_file_set_kvm(). Previous iterations of the code did not reference kvg->file outside of the critical section, but used a temporary variable. Still, they had similar problem of the file reference being owned by kvg structure and potential for kvm_vfio_group_del() dropping it before kvm_vfio_group_add() had a chance to complete. Fix this by moving call to kvm_vfio_file_set_kvm() under the protection of kv->lock. We already call it while holding the same lock when vfio group is being deleted, so it should be safe here as well.

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.
