[PATCH 0/3] KVM: do not use kvm->online_vcpus to check "has one VCPU been created?"

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

 



kvm->online_vcpus is only updated at the very end of KVM_CREATE_VCPU.
Thus, it can be racy to use it as a check for "has any VCPU been created
already?".  While x86 detects the race through kvm_vcpu_compatible,
it is kinda hackish and s390 does not do anything similar.  Provide a
better fix for both.

Paolo Bonzini (3):
  KVM: introduce created_vcpus
  KVM: remove kvm_vcpu_compatible
  KVM: s390: use created_vcpus
