From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5acc1ca4fb15f00bfa3d4046e35ca381bc25d580 ] Preemption can occur during cancel preemption timer, and there will be inconsistent status in lapic, vmx and vmcs field. CPU0 CPU1 preemption timer vmexit handle_preemption_timer(vCPU0) kvm_lapic_expired_hv_timer vmx_cancel_hv_timer vmx->hv_deadline_tsc = -1 vmcs_clear_bits /* hv_timer_in_use still true */ sched_out sched_in kvm_arch_vcpu_load vmx_set_hv_timer write vmx->hv_deadline_tsc vmcs_set_bits /* back in kvm_lapic_expired_hv_timer */ hv_timer_in_use = false ... vmx_vcpu_run vmx_arm_hv_run write preemption timer deadline spurious preemption timer vmexit handle_preemption_timer(vCPU0) kvm_lapic_expired_hv_timer WARN_ON(!apic->lapic_timer.hv_timer_in_use); This can be reproduced sporadically during boot of L2 on a preemptible L1, causing a splat on L1.

This way cancel_hv_timer is atomic with respect to kvm_arch_vcpu_load.
