[PATCH 2/2] KVM: x86: fix edge EOI and IOAPIC reconfig race

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

 



(The main problem is that we care about EOI of edge interrupts, but our
 house of cards started a long time ago, so overturning that decision is
 not ideal for a stable fix.)

KVM uses eoi_exit_bitmap to track vectors that need an action on EOI.
The problem is that IOAPIC can be reconfigured while an interrupt with
old configuration is pending and eoi_exit_bitmap only remembers the
newest configuration so EOI from the pending interrupt is not
recognized.

This is not a problem for level interrupts, because IOAPIC sends
interrupt with the new configuration.
And then there are edge interrupts with ACK notifiers, like i8254 timer;
things can happen in this order
 1) IOAPIC inject a vector from i8254
 2) guest reconfigures that vector's VCPU and therefore eoi_exit_bitmap
    on original VCPU gets cleared
 3) guest's handler for the vector does EOI
 4) KVM's EOI handler doesn't pass that vector to IOAPIC because it is
    not in that VCPU's eoi_exit_bitmap
 5) i8254 stops working

A simple solution is to set the IOAPIC vector in eoi_exit_bitmap if the
vector is in PIR/IRR/ISR.

This creates an unwanted situation if the vector is reused by a
non-IOAPIC source, but I think it is so rare that we don't want to make
the solution more sophisticated.  The simple solution also doesn't work
if we are reconfiguring the vector.  (Shouldn't happen in the wild and
I'd rather fix users of ACK notifiers instead of working around that.)

The are no races because ioapic injection and reconfig are locked.
