Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: fix missed memory synchronization when patch hypercall
Date: Sat, 08 Jun 2013 11:15:37 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <51B2A1D9.6060306@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Currently, memory synchronization is missed in emulator_fix_hypercall,
please see the commit 758ccc89b83
(KVM: x86: drop calling kvm_mmu_zap_all in emulator_fix_hypercall)
This patch fixes it by introducing kvm_vcpus_hang_on_page_start() and
kvm_vcpus_hang_on_page_end which unmap the patched page from guest
and use kvm_flush_remote_tlbs() as the serializing instruction to
ensure the memory coherence
[ The SDM said that INVEPT, INVVPID and MOV (to control register, with
the exception of MOV CR8) are the serializing instructions. ]
The mmu-lock is held during host patches the page so that it stops vcpus
to fix its further page fault
