[PATCH v3] KVM: x86: hyper-v: Don't auto-enable stimer on write from user-space

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

 



Don't apply the stimer's counter side effects when modifying its
value from user-space, as this may trigger spurious interrupts.

For example:
 - The stimer is configured in auto-enable mode.
 - The stimer's count is set and the timer enabled.
 - The stimer expires, an interrupt is injected.
 - The VM is live migrated.
 - The stimer config and count are deserialized, auto-enable is ON, the
   stimer is re-enabled.
 - The stimer expires right away, and injects an unwarranted interrupt.
