From 44683875d16133748a62120dbea08e3467065893 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2022 10:09:03 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: do not report a vCPU as preempted outside instruction boundaries commit 6d439323e4ba0d420c1b3d7030de9f750d88e8da upstream. If a vCPU is outside guest mode and is scheduled out, it might be in the process of making a memory access. A problem occurs if another vCPU uses the PV TLB flush feature during the period when the vCPU is scheduled out, and a virtual address has already been translated but has not yet been accessed, because this is equivalent to using a stale TLB entry. To avoid this, only report a vCPU as preempted if sure that the guest is at an instruction boundary. A rescheduling request will be delivered to the host physical CPU as an external interrupt, so for simplicity consider any vmexit *not* instruction boundary except for external interrupts. It would in principle be okay to report the vCPU as preempted also if it is sleeping in kvm_vcpu_block(): a TLB flush IPI will incur the vmentry/vmexit overhead unnecessarily, and optimistic spinning is also unlikely to succeed. However, leave it for later because right now kvm_vcpu_check_block() is doing memory accesses. Even though the TLB flush issue only applies to virtual memory address, it's very much preferrable to be conservative.
