[PATCH] irqchip/gic-v4: Wait for GICR_VPENDBASER.Dirty to clear before descheduling

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The way KVM drives GICv4.{0,1} is as follows:
- vcpu_load() makes the VPE resident, instructing the RD to start
  scanning for interrupts
- just before entering the guest, we check that the RD has finished
  scanning and that we can start running the vcpu
- on preemption, we deschedule the VPE by making it invalid on
  the RD

However, we are preemptible between the first two steps. If it so
happens *and* that the RD was still scanning, we nonetheless write
to the GICR_VPENDBASER register while Dirty is set, and bad things
happen (we're in UNPRED land).

This affects both the 4.0 and 4.1 implementations.

Make sure Dirty is cleared before performing the deschedule,
meaning that its_clear_vpend_valid() becomes a sort of full VPE
residency barrier.
