[PATCH 3/3] KVM: Fix leak vCPU's VMCS value into other pCPU

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

 



From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

After commit d73eb57b80b (KVM: Boost vCPUs that are delivering interrupts), a 
five years ago bug is exposed. Running ebizzy benchmark in three 80 vCPUs VMs 
on one 80 pCPUs Skylake server, a lot of rcu_sched stall warning splatting 
in the VMs after stress testing:

 INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 4 41 57 62 77} (detected by 15, t=60004 jiffies, g=899, c=898, q=15073)
 Call Trace:
   flush_tlb_mm_range+0x68/0x140
   tlb_flush_mmu.part.75+0x37/0xe0
   tlb_finish_mmu+0x55/0x60
   zap_page_range+0x142/0x190
   SyS_madvise+0x3cd/0x9c0
   system_call_fastpath+0x1c/0x21

swait_active() sustains to be true before finish_swait() is called in 
kvm_vcpu_block(), voluntarily preempted vCPUs are taken into account 
by kvm_vcpu_on_spin() loop greatly increases the probability condition 
kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable(vcpu) is checked and can be true, when APICv 
is enabled the yield-candidate vCPU's VMCS RVI field leaks(by 
vmx_sync_pir_to_irr()) into spinning-on-a-taken-lock vCPU's current 
VMCS.

This patch fixes it by reverting the kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() condition 
in kvm_vcpu_on_spin() loop.
