Subject: [PATCH v2 03/20] KVM: x86/xen: Remove unnecessary irqsave from GPC lock usage in xen.c
Date: Fri, 29 May 2026 09:50:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260529165114.748639-4-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260529165114.748639-1-seanjc@google.com>
From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk>
Now that the hardirq path (xen_timer_callback and set_evtchn_fast) uses
read_trylock() instead of read_lock_irqsave(), the remaining GPC lock
users in xen.c are only called from process context (vcpu_run, ioctls).
There is no need to disable interrupts to prevent concurrent access from
a hardirq user, since the hardirq path no longer takes the lock.
Convert read_lock_irqsave()/read_unlock_irqrestore() to plain
read_lock()/read_unlock() in:
- kvm_xen_update_runstate_guest()
- kvm_xen_shared_info_init()
- xen_get_guest_pvclock()
- kvm_xen_inject_pending_events()
- __kvm_xen_has_interrupt()
- wait_pending_event()
