Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: vgic: Use list_del_rcu() when flushing pending LPIs
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2026 06:16:08 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aiHrGM1f8czcUby4@v4bel> (raw)
vgic_v3_fold_lr_state() walks the ap_list from last_lr_irq without holding
the ap_list_lock, relying on vgic_irq being freed via kfree_rcu() and on
interrupts being disabled. vgic_flush_pending_lpis() removes entries with
list_del(), which clobbers a node's next pointer, so when another vCPU
disables LPIs via GICR_CTLR the walk can follow the clobbered next pointer
from a removed node, or from the node that last_lr_irq points to.
Remove entries with list_del_rcu() so that the next pointer stays valid
until the walk completes.
Fixes: 3cfd59f81e0f ("KVM: arm64: GICv3: Handle LR overflow when EOImode==0")
