Paolo Bonzini 32f55c25ee KVM: Do not leak memory for duplicate debugfs directories
commit 85cd39af14f498f791d8aab3fbd64cd175787f1a upstream.

KVM creates a debugfs directory for each VM in order to store statistics
about the virtual machine.  The directory name is built from the process
pid and a VM fd.  While generally unique, it is possible to keep a
file descriptor alive in a way that causes duplicate directories, which
manifests as these messages:

  [  471.846235] debugfs: Directory '20245-4' with parent 'kvm' already present!

Even though this should not happen in practice, it is more or less
expected in the case of KVM for testcases that call KVM_CREATE_VM and
close the resulting file descriptor repeatedly and in parallel.

When this happens, debugfs_create_dir() returns an error but
kvm_create_vm_debugfs() goes on to allocate stat data structs which are
later leaked.  The slow memory leak was spotted by syzkaller, where it
caused OOM reports.

Since the issue only affects debugfs, do a lookup before calling
debugfs_create_dir, so that the message is downgraded and rate-limited.
While at it, ensure kvm->debugfs_dentry is NULL rather than an error
if it is not created.  This fixes kvm_destroy_vm_debugfs, which was not
checking IS_ERR_OR_NULL correctly.

README

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.
