Subject: [PATCH 01 of 31] xen: fix RMW when unmasking events
Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 16:36:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f50ab2080db6568bda83.1205797012@localhost> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <patchbomb.1205797011@localhost>
xen_irq_enable_direct and xen_sysexit were using "andw $0x00ff,
XEN_vcpu_info_pending(vcpu)" to unmask events and test for pending ones
in one instuction.
Unfortunately, the pending flag must be modified with a locked operation
since it can be set by another CPU, and the unlocked form of this
operation was causing the pending flag to get lost, allowing the processor
to return to usermode with pending events and ultimately deadlock.
The simple fix would be to make it a locked operation, but that's rather
costly and unnecessary. The fix here is to split the mask-clearing and
pending-testing into two instructions; the interrupt window between
them is of no concern because either way pending or new events will
be processed.
This should fix lingering bugs in using direct vcpu structure access too.
[ Stable: needed in 2.6.24.x ]
