This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled KVM: s390: Ensure kvm_arch_no_poll() is read once when blocking vCPU to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kvm-s390-ensure-kvm_arch_no_poll-is-read-once-when-b.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2274bce3b02d3be39e1413342e82bee1229f01b7 Author: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Oct 8 19:11:56 2021 -0700 KVM: s390: Ensure kvm_arch_no_poll() is read once when blocking vCPU [ Upstream commit 6f390916c4fb359507d9ac4bf1b28a4f8abee5c0 ] Wrap s390's halt_poll_max_steal with READ_ONCE and snapshot the result of kvm_arch_no_poll() in kvm_vcpu_block() to avoid a mostly-theoretical, largely benign bug on s390 where the result of kvm_arch_no_poll() could change due to userspace modifying halt_poll_max_steal while the vCPU is blocking. The bug is largely benign as it will either cause KVM to skip updating halt-polling times (no_poll toggles false=>true) or to update halt-polling times with a slightly flawed block_ns. Note, READ_ONCE is unnecessary in the current code, add it in case the arch hook is ever inlined, and to provide a hint that userspace can change the param at will.
