Subject: virtio config access races
Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2012 01:59:41 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120712225941.GA9317@redhat.com> (raw)
It looks like there's a problem in the way virtio config currently
works: if driver reads config in probe routine, config
subsequently can change before core sets DRIVER_OK.
This will not cause an interrupt and so this event is lost.
Maybe we should document that devices should delay such
events until after DRIVER_OK?
