[patch added to 3.12-stable] KVM: Disable irq while unregistering user notifier

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

 



From: Ignacio Alvarado <ikalvarado@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 1650b4ebc99da4c137bfbfc531be4a2405f951dd upstream.

Function user_notifier_unregister should be called only once for each
registered user notifier.

Function kvm_arch_hardware_disable can be executed from an IPI context
which could cause a race condition with a VCPU returning to user mode
and attempting to unregister the notifier.
