I am not an expert for the GISA, so excuse my possibly stupid question:
process_gib_alert_list() starts the timer. So can gisa_vcpu_kicker()
already be running before we reach hrtimer_cancel() below? Is this fine?

You are right, It cannnot be running in that situation because gisa_vcpu_kicker() has returned with HRTIMER_NORESTART and no vcpus are defined anymore.

There is another case when the gisa specific timer is started not only in the process_gib_alert() case but also when a vcpu of the guest owning the gisa is put into wait state, see kvm_s390_handle_wait(). Thus yes, it could be running already in that situation. I remember having seen this situation when I write the gisa/gib code. But that's case in process_gib_alert_list()

It does not hurt to have the hrtimer_cancel() here but I don't want to add a change to this patch. Eventually a new one.

Thanks for asking!


         hrtimer_cancel(&gi->timer);
         gi->origin = NULL;
         VM_EVENT(kvm, 3, "gisa 0x%pK destroyed", gisa);
