Subject: [PATCH 3.4-rc] KVM: VMX: Fix kvm_set_shared_msr() called in preemptible context
Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2012 15:03:04 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1334750584-10884-1-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120418025822.GA22660@redhat.com>
kvm_set_shared_msr() may not be called in preemptible context,
but vmx_set_msr() does so:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: qemu-kvm/22713
caller is kvm_set_shared_msr+0x32/0xa0 [kvm]
Pid: 22713, comm: qemu-kvm Not tainted 3.4.0-rc3+ #39
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff8131fa82>] debug_smp_processor_id+0xe2/0x100
[<ffffffffa0328ae2>] kvm_set_shared_msr+0x32/0xa0 [kvm]
[<ffffffffa03a103b>] vmx_set_msr+0x28b/0x2d0 [kvm_intel]
...
Making kvm_set_shared_msr() work in preemptible is cleaner, but
it's used in the fast path. Making two variants is overkill, so
this patch just disables preemption around the call.
