Subject: [PATCH v4 06/11] KVM: arm/arm64: use vcpu requests for power_off
Date: Tue, 16 May 2017 04:20:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170516022035.7674-7-drjones@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170516022035.7674-1-drjones@redhat.com>

System shutdown is currently using request-less VCPU kicks. This
leaves open a tiny race window, as it doesn't ensure the state
change to power_off is seen by a VCPU just about to enter guest
mode. VCPU requests, OTOH, are guaranteed to be seen (see "Ensuring
Requests Are Seen" of Documentation/virtual/kvm/vcpu-requests.rst)
This patch applies the EXIT request used by pause to power_off,
fixing the race.
