From 4704fe4f03a5ab27e3c36184af85d5000e0f8a48 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Vrabel Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:21:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/1] xen/events: mask events when changing their VCPU binding When a event is being bound to a VCPU there is a window between the EVTCHNOP_bind_vpcu call and the adjustment of the local per-cpu masks where an event may be lost. The hypervisor upcalls the new VCPU but the kernel thinks that event is still bound to the old VCPU and ignores it. There is even a problem when the event is being bound to the same VCPU as there is a small window beween the clear_bit() and set_bit() calls in bind_evtchn_to_cpu(). When scanning for pending events, the kernel may read the bit when it is momentarily clear and ignore the event. Avoid this by masking the event during the whole bind operation.
