Subject: [patch 08/39] x86/cpa: make sure cpa is safe to call in lazy mmu mode
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2009 13:32:28 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090218213228.GI19814@kroah.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: x86-cpa-make-sure-cpa-is-safe-to-call-in-lazy-mmu-mode.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1770 bytes --]

2.6.28-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>

commit 4f06b0436b2ddbd3b67b10e77098a6862787b3eb upstream.

Impact: fix race leading to crash under KVM and Xen

The CPA code may be called while we're in lazy mmu update mode - for
example, when using DEBUG_PAGE_ALLOC and doing a slab allocation
in an interrupt handler which interrupted a lazy mmu update.  In this
case, the in-memory pagetable state may be out of date due to pending
queued updates.  We need to flush any pending updates before inspecting
the page table.  Similarly, we must explicitly flush any modifications
CPA may have made (which comes down to flushing queued operations when
flushing the TLB).
