KVM: LAPIC: ensure APIC map is up to date on concurrent update requests
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.
