[PATCH v3 2/3] vhost: Add smp_rmb() in vhost_enable_notify()

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

 



A smp_rmb() has been missed in vhost_enable_notify(), inspired by
Will. Otherwise, it's not ensured the available ring entries pushed
by guest can be observed by vhost in time, leading to stale available
ring entries fetched by vhost in vhost_get_vq_desc(), as reported by
Yihuang Yu on NVidia's grace-hopper (ARM64) platform.

  virtio_net virtio0: output.0:id 100 is not a head!

Add the missed smp_rmb() in vhost_enable_notify(). When it returns true,
it means there's still pending tx buffers. Since it might read indices,
so it still can bypass the smp_rmb() in vhost_get_vq_desc(). Note that
it should be safe until vq->avail_idx is changed by commit d3bb267bbdcb
("vhost: cache avail index in vhost_enable_notify()").
