[PATCH v2 0/4] KVM: x86: APICv fixes

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

 



Patch 1 is brown paper bag fix for a copy+paste bug (thankfully from this
cycle).

Patch 2 fixes a nVMX + APICv bug where KVM essentially corrupts vmcs02 if
an APICv update arrives while L2 is running.  Found when testing a slight
variation of patch 3.

Patch 3 fixes a race where an APICv update that occurs while a vCPU is
being created will fail to notify that vCPU due it not yet being visible
to the updater.

Patch 4 is a minor optimization/cleanup found by inspection when digging
into everything else.

v2:
  - Collect reviews. [Maxim]
  - Reword patch 2's changelog to make it clear that ignoring vmcs02
    is perfectly ok. [Maxim]
