[PATCH v2 3/5] KVM: irqfd: Postpone resamplefd notify for oneshot interrupts

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

 



The existing KVM mechanism for forwarding of level-triggered interrupts
using resample eventfd doesn't work quite correctly in the case of
interrupts that are handled in a Linux guest as oneshot interrupts
(IRQF_ONESHOT). Such an interrupt is acked to the device in its
threaded irq handler, i.e. later than it is acked to the interrupt
controller (EOI at the end of hardirq), not earlier.

Linux keeps such interrupt masked until its threaded handler finishes,
to prevent the EOI from re-asserting an unacknowledged interrupt.
However, with KVM + vfio (or whatever is listening on the resamplefd)
we don't check that the interrupt is still masked in the guest at the
moment of EOI. Resamplefd is notified regardless, so vfio prematurely
unmasks the host physical IRQ, thus a new (unwanted) physical interrupt
is generated in the host and queued for injection to the guest.

The fact that the virtual IRQ is still masked doesn't prevent this new
physical IRQ from being propagated to the guest, because:

1. It is not guaranteed that the vIRQ will remain masked by the time
   when vfio signals the trigger eventfd.
2. KVM marks this IRQ as pending (e.g. setting its bit in the virtual
   IRR register of IOAPIC on x86), so after the vIRQ is unmasked, this
   new pending interrupt is injected by KVM to the guest anyway.

There are observed at least 2 user-visible issues caused by those
extra erroneous pending interrupts for oneshot irq in the guest:

1. System suspend aborted due to a pending wakeup interrupt from
   ChromeOS EC (drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec.c).
2. Annoying "invalid report id data" errors from ELAN0000 touchpad
   (drivers/input/mouse/elan_i2c_core.c), flooding the guest dmesg
   every time the touchpad is touched.

This patch fixes the issue on x86 by checking if the interrupt is
unmasked when we receive irq ack (EOI) and, in case if it's masked,
postponing resamplefd notify until the guest unmasks it.

It doesn't fix the issue for other archs yet, since it relies on KVM
irq mask notifiers functionality which currently works only on x86.
On other archs we can register mask notifiers but they are never called.
So on other archs resampler->masked is always false, so the behavior is
the same as before this patch.
