Subject: [PATCH] kvm/x86: check KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH with irqs disabled
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2009 14:03:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1237208625-2657-1-git-send-email-joerg.roedel@amd.com> (raw)
For KVM remote TLB flushes we need to check the KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH
request flag when the irqs are already disabled. Otherwise there is a
small window of time for a race condition where we may enter a guest
without doing a requested TLB flush.
