Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: hyper-v: Don't auto-enable stimer during deserialization
Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2023 09:52:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231016095217.37574-1-nsaenz@amazon.com> (raw)
By not honoring the 'stimer->config.enable' state during stimer
deserialization we might introduce spurious timer interrupts. For
example through the following events:
- The stimer is configured in auto-enable mode.
- The stimer's count is set and the timer enabled.
- The stimer expires, an interrupt is injected.
- We live migrate the VM.
- The stimer config and count are deserialized, auto-enable is ON, the
stimer is re-enabled.
- The stimer expires right away, and injects an unwarranted interrupt.
So let's not change the stimer's enable state if the MSR write comes
from user-space.
