Subject: Async page fault delivered while irq are disabled?
Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2019 16:28:15 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191219152814.GA24080@lenoir> (raw)

Hi,

While checking the x86 async page fault code, I can't
find anything that prevents KVM_PV_REASON_PAGE_READY to be injected
while the guest has interrupts disabled. If that page fault happens
to trap in an interrupt disabled section, there may be a deadlock due to the
call to wake_up_process() which locks the rq->lock (among others).

Given how long that code is there, I guess such an issue would
have been reported for a while already. But I just would like to
be sure we are checking that.

Can someone enlighten me?

Thanks.
