[PATCH 3.12 027/127] KVM: x86: fix wbinvd_dirty_mask use-after-free

From: Jiri Slaby <hidden>

Also in: lkml
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for x86 (kvm/x86), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Sean Christopherson, Paolo Bonzini, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

From: Ido Yariv <redacted>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit bd768e146624cbec7122ed15dead8daa137d909d upstream.

vcpu->arch.wbinvd_dirty_mask may still be used after freeing it,
corrupting memory. For example, the following call trace may set a bit
in an already freed cpu mask:
    kvm_arch_vcpu_load
    vcpu_load
    vmx_free_vcpu_nested
    vmx_free_vcpu
    kvm_arch_vcpu_free

Fix this by deferring freeing of wbinvd_dirty_mask.
