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.
