Allocation is off by one.  avic_get_next_vm_id() uses
  if (id <= AVIC_VM_ID_MASK)
    __set_bit(id, avic_vm_id_bm);

and id=AVIC_VM_ID_MASK is stored in the AVIC_VM_ID_MASK+1 th bit.

Ah... right. Sorry :(

Why?

I use VM-ID 0 to represent unassigned ID since we use it to encode ga_tag, and ga_tag=0 out of reset by hardware.

The second argument is size, so this should always return 1. :)


My bad. I'll change to (AVIC_VM_ID_MASK + 1).

It is not really a problem that can be handled with changing the values,
so a temporary error would be nicer ... ENOMEM could be confusing and
EAGAIN lead to a loop, but I still like them better.


Ok. I think EAGAIN is better in this case.

This is certainly useless when the CPU doesn't have AVIC, so we could
make it conditional.

I would prefer to make the bitmap allocated at module load, though:

  static DECLARE_BITMAP(avic_vm_id_bm, AVIC_VM_ID_MASK + 1);

The size is 2 KiB with 24 bit AVIC_VM_ID_MASK, which is IMO much better
than having extra lines of code dealing with allocation and failures.


I also prefer this suggestion.

Thanks again,
Suravee
