[PATCH 1/9] KVM: x86: Ensure PV TLB flush tracepoint reflects KVM behavior

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

 



From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit af3511ff7fa2107d6410831f3d71030f5e8d2b25 upstream.

In record_steal_time(), st->preempted is read twice, and
trace_kvm_pv_tlb_flush() might output result inconsistent if
kvm_vcpu_flush_tlb_guest() see a different st->preempted later.

It is a very trivial problem and hardly has actual harm and can be
avoided by reseting and reading st->preempted in atomic way via xchg().
