[PATCH] KVM: arm64: vgic-v4: Make the doorbell request robust w.r.t preemption

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

 



Xiang reports that VMs occasionally fail to boot on GICv4.1 systems when
running a preemptible kernel, as it is possible that a vCPU is blocked
without requesting a doorbell interrupt.

The issue is that any preemption that occurs between vgic_v4_put() and
schedule() on the block path will mark the vPE as nonresident and *not*
request a doorbell irq. This occurs because when the vcpu thread is
resumed on its way to block, vcpu_load() will make the vPE resident
again. Once the vcpu actually blocks, we don't request a doorbell
anymore, and the vcpu won't be woken up on interrupt delivery.

Fix it by tracking that we're entering WFI, and key the doorbell
request on that flag. This allows us not to make the vPE resident
when going through a preempt/schedule cycle, meaning we don't lose
any state.
