mainlining shenanigans
44d5271707
The following race can cause lost map update events:
cpu1 cpu2
apic_map_dirty = true
------------------------------------------------------------
kvm_recalculate_apic_map:
pass check
mutex_lock(&kvm->arch.apic_map_lock);
if (!kvm->arch.apic_map_dirty)
and in process of updating map
-------------------------------------------------------------
other calls to
apic_map_dirty = true might be too late for affected cpu
-------------------------------------------------------------
apic_map_dirty = false
-------------------------------------------------------------
kvm_recalculate_apic_map:
bail out on
if (!kvm->arch.apic_map_dirty)
To fix it, record the beginning of an update of the APIC map in
apic_map_dirty. If another APIC map change switches apic_map_dirty
back to DIRTY during the update, kvm_recalculate_apic_map should not
make it CLEAN, and the other caller will go through the slow path.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
