Subject: [PATCH v3 05/13] KVM: x86/xen: Latch shinfo mode in kvm_xen_schedop_poll()
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 22:26:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831213632.81023-6-dwmw2@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831213632.81023-1-dwmw2@infradead.org>
From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk>
kvm_xen_schedop_poll() validates port numbers against
kvm_max_evtchn_port() and then calls wait_pending_event() which reads
the shinfo mode again to select the bitmap layout.
Latch kvm_xen_has_64bit_shinfo() once and pass it to both
max_evtchn_port() and wait_pending_event().
As with the previous fix to kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast(), this is
harmless in practice for the same reasons: the inconsistency can only
corrupt fields in the guest's own shared_info page, and the same
corruption can occur anyway if the mode changes immediately after the
latch.
Fixes: d518b9d0fc80 ("KVM: x86/xen: handle PV spinlocks slowpath")
