Subject: [PATCH RFC] virtio-balloon: fix add/get API use
Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2012 10:33:08 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120702073308.GB8268@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87d34fx990.fsf@rustcorp.com.au>
In virtio balloon virtqueue_get_buf might now run concurrently with
virtqueue_kick. I audited both and this seems safe in practice but
this is not guaranteed by the API.
Additionally, a spurious interrupt might in theory make
virtqueue_get_buf run in parallel with virtqueue_add_buf, which is racy.
While we might try to protect against spurious callbacks it's
easier to fix the driver: balloon seems to be the only one
(mis)using the API like this, so let's just fix balloon.
