Subject: [PATCH] Drivers: hv: Avoid infinite retry loop in init_vp_index()
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 13:37:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826173710.511604-1-longman@redhat.com> (raw)

There is a retry loop in init_vp_index() where the CPUs from a certain
node are stripped out if they have already been in the allocated cpumask
or not in HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ housekeeping cpumask. If there is no
CPU left, the allocated cpumask is ignored and the process is retried
again. However, if the HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ housekeeping cpumask turns
out not to contain any CPU in that particular node, that will become an
infinite retry loop.  This particular problem was reported by sashiko
[1]. This should rarely happen, but we still need to guard against this.

Fix this infinite loop problem by ignoring the HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ
housekeeping cpumask if the allocated cpumask has already been
cleared before. Since the HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ housekeeping cpumask
is supposed to be used on a best effort basis, it is OK to ignore it
in this particular case. Also add a check_hkcpu boolean flag in struct
vmbus_channel to control the HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ housekeeping CPU check
in target_cpu_store() and init_vp_index().
