KVM: avoid using rcu_dereference_protected

2017-08-02T20:41:02+00:00

During teardown, accesses to memslots and buses are using rcu_dereference_protected with an always-true condition because these accesses are done outside the usual mutexes. This is because the last reference is gone and there cannot be any concurrent modifications, but rcu_dereference_protected is ugly and unobvious. Instead, check the refcount in kvm_get_bus and __kvm_memslots. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini Signed-off-by: Radim Krčmář

KVM: make pid available for uevents without debugfs

2017-07-26T16:57:44+00:00

Simplify and improve the code so that the PID is always available in the uevent even when debugfs is not available. This adds a userspace_pid field to struct kvm, as per Radim's suggestion, so that the PID can be retrieved on destruction too.

KVM: use correct accessor function for __kvm_memslots

2017-07-10T10:28:46+00:00

kvm memslots are protected by srcu and not by rcu. We must use srcu_dereference_check instead of rcu_dereference_check. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger Suggested-by: Paolo Bonzini

KVM: mark memory slots as rcu

2017-07-07T13:24:17+00:00

we access the memslots array via srcu. Mark it as such and use the right access functions also for the freeing of memory slots.

KVM: mark kvm->busses as rcu protected

KVM: mark vcpu->pid pointer as rcu protected

2017-07-07T11:00:19+00:00

We do use rcu to protect the pid pointer. Mark it as such and adopt all code to use the proper access methods. This was detected by sparse.

KVM: add kvm_request_pending

2017-06-04T14:53:00+00:00

A first step in vcpu->requests encapsulation. Additionally, we now use READ_ONCE() when accessing vcpu->requests, which ensures we always load vcpu->requests when it's accessed. This is important as other threads can change it any time. Also, READ_ONCE() documents that vcpu->requests is used with other threads, likely requiring memory barriers, which it does.

KVM: improve arch vcpu request defining

2017-06-04T14:53:00+00:00

Marc Zyngier suggested that we define the arch specific VCPU request base, rather than requiring each arch to remember to start from 8. That suggestion, along with Radim Krcmar's recent VCPU request flag addition, snowballed into defining something of an arch VCPU request defining API. No functional change. (Looks like x86 is running out of arch VCPU request bits. Maybe someday we'll need to extend to 64.) Signed-off-by: Andrew Jones Acked-by: Christoffer Dall Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall
