[PATCH 0/9 v2] KVM: Nested SVM fixes and tracepoint conversion

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

 



Hi Avi, Marcelo,

this series of patches contains bugfixes for the Nested SVM code and the
conversion of Nested SVM debugging to tracepoints. The fixes are:

           1) A patch Alex already sent (1/9) but which was not yet
              applied. It fixes a lost event_inj problem when we emulate
              a vmrun and a vmexit without entering the guest in
	      the meantime.

	   2) The patch 2/9 fixes a schedule() while atomic bug in the
	      Nested SVM code. The KVM interrupt injection code runs
	      with preemtion and interrupts disabled. But the
	      enable_irq_window() function from SVM may emulate a
              #vmexit.  This emulation migth sleep which causes the
	      schedule() while atomic() bug.

These fixes (patches 1 and 2) should also be considered for -stable
backporting.

The patches 3 to 8 convert the old printk based debugging for Nested SVM
to tracepoints. Patch 9 removes the nsvm_printk code. Please review
and/or consider to apply these changes.

Thanks,

	Joerg

Changes to v1:

* Fixed typo on comment in patch
  "KVM: SVM: Notify nested hypervisor of lost event injections"
* Made the fix for the schedule()-while-atomic bug out of the generic
  code. It touches only SVM code now.
