Subject: [PATCH RFC] KVM: Fix race in apic->pending_events processing
Date: Sun, 26 May 2013 16:00:31 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130526130031.GS4725@redhat.com> (raw)

apic->pending_events processing has a race that may cause INIT and SIPI
processing to be reordered:

vpu0:                            vcpu1:
set INIT
                               test_and_clear_bit(KVM_APIC_INIT)
                                  process INIT
set INIT
set SIPI
                               test_and_clear_bit(KVM_APIC_SIPI)
                                  process SIPI

At the and INIT is left pending in pending_events. The following patch
tries to fix this using the fact that if INIT comes after SIPI it drops
SIPI from the pending_events, so if pending_events is different after
SIPI is processed it means that INIT was issued after SIPI otherwise
all pending event are processed and pending_events can be reset to zero.
