After 'commit 0e6edceb8f18 ("KVM: LAPIC: Fix lapic_timer_advance_ns
parameter overflow")',a negative value can be assigned to
lapic_timer_advance_ns, when it is '-1', the kvm_create_lapic()
will judge it and turns on adaptive tuning of timer advancement.
However, when lapic_timer_advance_ns=-2, it will be assigned to
an uint variable apic->lapic_timer.timer_advance_ns, the
apic->lapic_timer.timer_advance_ns of each vCPU will become a huge
value. When a VM is started, the VM is stuck in the

E.g. if the admin changes lapic_timer_advance_ns from a negative to a postive value, then vCPUs that were created while lapic_timer_advance_ns<0 will have a timer_advance_ns that was dynamically calculated, but is now static. I doubt there's a use case that actually does anything like that, and in practice it probably doesn't cause real problems, but it makes for bizarre and unpredictable behavior. Hmm, alternativately, we could make lapic_timer_advance_ns a read-only boolean. The param is wrtiable primarily because dynamic/adaptive tuning was added much later, i.e. getting a usable value required modifying the advancement time while VMs were running. But I would be very surprised if there are use cases that still *need* to hand tune the advancement, as it's practically impossible for userspace to do better than KVM. The only argument I can think of for taking a raw value from userspace is if there is an absurd delay that exceeds KVM's max advancement of 5us. But I'm not sure KVM should even support such values. Let me post a patch to convert lapic_timer_advance_ns to a read-only bool. If there is pushback on that idea, then we can circle back to this patch, but I'm hoping we can simplify all of this instead of hardening KVM against edge cases that no one likely cares about. Side topic, if we keep the module param as-is, it really should be wrapped with READ_ONCE(). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
