Subject: [PATCH 1/5] x86: KVM: take b->lock around wait
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 17:45:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105164531.313849-2-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105164531.313849-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>
If a vCPU thread is migrated between an async page fault vmexit and the
call to kvm_async_pf_wait_schedule(), the wait will occur on a different
CPU than the page ready notification. When this happens,
kvm_async_pf_wait_schedule() can exit and free the on-stack node
before swake_up_one() finishes. Avoid this by protecting the
accesses to &n.link with the bucket spinlock.
Note that in principle this could use a single critical section that
also covers kvm_async_pf_queue_task(), but that call is going to be
moved out of kvm_async_pf_wait_schedule().
