Subject: [PATCH v2 7/7] KVM: WARN if vCPU creation is in-progress when locking all vCPUs
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 10:44:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921174445.911676-8-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921174445.911676-1-seanjc@google.com>
Now that KVM holds kvm->lock for the entirety of vCPU creation, from when
created_vcpus is incremented until the new vCPU is fully onlined, WARN if
the impossible happens and KVM somehow sees a discrepancy between the
number of vCPUs "created" and "onlined".
