And this runs in preemtible context. Is the wrmsrl(HV_X64_MSR_VP_ASSIST_PAGE, 0); enough to prevent eventual users of the assist page on the outgoing CPU from accessing it? > if (hv_reenlightenment_cb == NULL) > return 0; > > @@ -241,6 +267,13 @@ void hyperv_init(void) > if (!hv_vp_index) > return; > > + hv_vp_assist_page = kcalloc(num_possible_cpus(), > + sizeof(*hv_vp_assist_page), GFP_KERNEL); > + if (!hv_vp_assist_page) { > + ms_hyperv.hints &= ~HV_X64_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS_RECOMMENDED; > + return; > + } > + > if (cpuhp_setup_state(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN, "x86/hyperv_init:online", > hv_cpu_init, hv_cpu_die) < 0) > goto free_vp_index; Shouldn't you free hv_vp_assist_page in the error path? > +extern struct hv_vp_assist_page **hv_vp_assist_page; > + > +static inline struct hv_vp_assist_page *hv_get_vp_assist_page(unsigned int cpu) > +{ > + return hv_vp_assist_page[cpu]; Shouldn't that check hv_vp_assist_page != NULL?
