[PATCH 0/2] KVM: x86: Fix and cleanup for recent AVIC changes

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

 



Belated "code review" for Maxim's recent series to rework the AVIC inhibit
code.  Using the global APICv status in the page fault path is wrong as
the correct status is always the vCPU's, since that status is accurate
with respect to the time of the page fault.  In a similar vein, the code
to change the inhibit can be cleaned up since KVM can't rely on ordering
between the update and the request for anything except consumers of the
request.
