Subject: [PATCH] virt: acrn: stop CPU removal when offlining fails
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 13:33:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261030113324.2265585-2-thnkslprpt@gmail.com> (raw)
remove_cpu_store() ignores errors from remove_cpu() and calls
hcall_sos_remove_cpu() even when Linux cannot offline the CPU.
This can leave Linux and ACRN with inconsistent CPU ownership.
Return the offlining error before issuing the hypercall. If the
hypercall subsequently fails, bring the CPU back online only when
it was online before the removal attempt.
Fixes: 279dcf693ac76 ("virt: acrn: Introduce an interface for Service VM to control vCPU")

Compile-tested CONFIG_ACRN_HSM=m with W=1; no ACRN Service VM runtime test.
