[PATCH 7/7] kvm,mips: Fix potential swait_active() races

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

 



For example, the following could occur, making us miss a wakeup:

CPU0					CPU1
kvm_vcpu_block				kvm_mips_comparecount_func
					  [L] swait_active(&vcpu->wq)
  [S] prepare_to_swait(&vcpu->wq)
  [L] if (!kvm_vcpu_has_pending_timer(vcpu))
         schedule()                       [S] queue_timer_int(vcpu)

Ensure that the swait_active() check is not hoisted over the interrupt.
