Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm/arm64: BUG FIX: Do not inject spurious interrupts
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2015 14:51:22 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1440676282-2152-1-git-send-email-p.fedin@samsung.com> (raw)

Commit 71760950bf3dc796e5e53ea3300dec724a09f593
("arm/arm64: KVM: add a common vgic_queue_irq_to_lr fn") introduced
vgic_queue_irq_to_lr() function with additional vgic_dist_irq_is_pending()
check before setting LR_STATE_PENDING bit. In some cases it started
causing the following situation if the userland quickly drops the IRQ back
to inactive state for some reason:
1. Userland injects an IRQ with level == 1, this ends up in
   vgic_update_irq_pending(), which in turn calls vgic_dist_irq_set_pending()
   for this IRQ.
2. vCPU gets kicked. But kernel does not manage to reschedule it quickly
   (!!!)
3. Userland quickly resets the IRQ to level == 0. vgic_update_irq_pending()
   in this case will call vgic_dist_irq_clear_pending() and reset the
   pending flag.
4. vCPU finally wakes up. It succesfully rolls through through
   __kvm_vgic_flush_hwstate(), which populates vGIC registers. However,
   since neither pending nor active flags are now set for this IRQ,
   vgic_queue_irq_to_lr() does not set any state bits on this LR at all.
   Since this is level-sensitive IRQ, we end up in LR containing only
   LR_EOI_INT bit, causing unnecessary immediate exit from the guest.

This patch fixes the problem by adding forgotten vgic_cpu_irq_clear().
This causes the IRQ not to be included into any lists, if it has been
picked up after getting dropped to inactive level. Since this is a
level-sensitive IRQ, this is correct behavior.

The bug was caught on ARM64 kernel v4.1.6, running qemu "virt" guest,
where it was caused by emulated pl011.
