Subject: [PATCH] kvm: dirty-ring: Fix race with vcpu creation
Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2022 11:46:53 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220927154653.77296-1-peterx@redhat.com> (raw)

It's possible that we want to reap a dirty ring on a vcpu that is during
creation, because the vcpu is put onto list (CPU_FOREACH visible) before
initialization of the structures.  In this case:

qemu_init_vcpu
    x86_cpu_realizefn
        cpu_exec_realizefn
            cpu_list_add      <---- can be probed by CPU_FOREACH
        qemu_init_vcpu
            cpus_accel->create_vcpu_thread(cpu);
                kvm_init_vcpu
                    map kvm_dirty_gfns  <--- kvm_dirty_gfns valid

Don't try to reap dirty ring on vcpus during creation or it'll crash.
