[PATCH] KVM: x86: Take srcu lock in post_kvm_run_save()

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

 



From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The Xen interrupt injection for event channels relies on accessing the
guest's vcpu_info structure in __kvm_xen_has_interrupt(), through a
gfn_to_hva_cache.

This requires the srcu lock to be held, which is mostly the case except
for this code path:

There are potentially other ways of doing this, by shuffling the tail
of kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() around a little and holding the lock once
there instead of taking it within vcpu_run(). But the call to
post_kvm_run_save() occurs even on the error paths, and it gets complex
to untangle. This is the simple approach.

This doesn't show up when I enable event channel delivery in
xen_shinfo_test because we have pic_in_kernel() there. I'll fix the
tests not to hardcode that, as I expand the event channel support and
add more testing of it.
