Subject: KVM: protect concurrent make_all_cpus_request
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 10:53:47 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090617135347.GC14583@amt.cnet> (raw)



make_all_cpus_request contains a race condition which can 
trigger false request completed status, as follows:

CPU0                                              CPU1

if (test_and_set_bit(req,&vcpu->requests))
   ....                                        	   if (test_and_set_bit(req,&vcpu->requests))
   ..                                                  return
proceed to smp_call_function_many(wait=1)

Use a spinlock to serialize concurrent CPUs.
