Subject: [PATCH] LoongArch: KVM: Fix TOCTOU race on pv_features
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 16:13:21 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810081321.157258-1-cui.tao@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>

kvm_loongarch_cpucfg_set_attr() validates and writes the VM-wide
pv_features with a lockless check-then-set, so two vCPUs racing it can
both pass the "all-vCPUs-must-match" check and install divergent values.
Make the check-then-set atomic with a cmpxchg loop; the UPDATED bit
already packs the configured state into the same word.
