Subject: [PATCH 3/5] KVM: Move check for existing vCPU ID to the top of vCPU creation
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 11:12:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914181223.289061-4-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260914181223.289061-1-seanjc@google.com>

Now that kvm->lock is held for the entirety of vCPU creation, check for a
conflicting vCPU ID at the begnning of vCPU creation, before the arch
precreate() hook is invoked.  This will allow reverting commit 97d65b544f48
("KVM: Check for duplicate vcpu_id as early as possible").  For now, keep
the redundant vcpu_ids tracking as a sanity check.

No functional change intended (absent KVM bugs, checking vcpu_ids and
walking kvm_get_vcpu_by_id() should yield the same result).
