Subject: [PATCH 2/8] memory: Don't do topology update in memory finalize()
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2020 12:21:02 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200421162108.594796-3-peterx@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200421162108.594796-1-peterx@redhat.com>

Topology update could be wrongly triggered in memory region finalize() if
there's bug somewhere else.  It'll be a very confusing stack when it
happens (e.g., sending KVM ioctl within the RCU thread, and we'll observe it
only until it fails!).

Instead of that, we use the push()/pop() helper to avoid memory transaction
commit, at the same time we use assertions to make sure there's no pending
updates or it's a nested transaction, so it could fail even earlier and in a
more explicit way.
