Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Always set mp_state to RUNNABLE on wakeup from HLT
Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2025 09:41:56 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250224174156.2362059-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
When emulating HLT and a wake event is already pending, explicitly mark
the vCPU RUNNABLE (via kvm_set_mp_state()) instead of assuming the vCPU is
already in the appropriate state. Barring a KVM bug, it should be
impossible for the vCPU to be in a non-RUNNABLE state, but there is no
advantage to relying on that to hold true, and ensuring the vCPU is made
RUNNABLE avoids non-deterministic behavior with respect to pv_unhalted.
E.g. if the vCPU is not already RUNNABLE, then depending on when
pv_unhalted is set, KVM could either leave the vCPU in the non-RUNNABLE
state (set before __kvm_emulate_halt()), or transition the vCPU to HALTED
and then RUNNABLE (pv_unhalted set after the kvm_vcpu_has_events() check).
