Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] vhost: Add smp_rmb() in vhost_enable_notify()
Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2024 09:38:46 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240326233846.1086253-3-gshan@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240326233846.1086253-1-gshan@redhat.com>
A smp_rmb() has been missed in vhost_enable_notify(), inspired by
Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>. Otherwise, it's not ensured the
available ring entries pushed by guest can be observed by vhost
in time, leading to stale available ring entries fetched by vhost
in vhost_get_vq_desc(), as reported by Yihuang Yu on NVidia's
grace-hopper (ARM64) platform.

virtio_net virtio0: output.0:id 100 is not a head!
Add the missed smp_rmb() in vhost_enable_notify(). Note that it
should be safe until vq->avail_idx is changed by commit d3bb267bbdcb
("vhost: cache avail index in vhost_enable_notify()").
Fixes: d3bb267bbdcb ("vhost: cache avail index in vhost_enable_notify()")
