      KVM: IOAPIC: only set remote_irr if interrupt was injected · ff4b9df8
      Marcelo Tosatti authored
      
      There's a bug in the IOAPIC code for level-triggered interrupts. Its
      relatively easy to trigger by sharing (virtio-blk + usbtablet was the
      testcase, initially reported by Gerd von Egidy).
      
      The "remote_irr" variable is used to indicate accepted but not yet acked
      interrupts. Its cleared from the EOI handler.
      
      Problem is that the EOI handler clears remote_irr unconditionally, even
      if it reinjected another pending interrupt.
      
      In that case, kvm_ioapic_set_irq() proceeds to ioapic_service() which
      sets remote_irr even if it failed to inject (since the IRR was high due
      to EOI reinjection).
      
      Since the TMR bit has been cleared by the first EOI, the second one
      fails to clear remote_irr.
      
      End result is interrupt line dead.
      
      Fix it by setting remote_irr only if a new pending interrupt has been
      generated (and the TMR bit for vector in question set).

      KVM: Fix kvm_vcpu_block() task state race · e5c239cf
      Marcelo Tosatti authored
      
      There's still a race in kvm_vcpu_block(), if a wake_up_interruptible()
      call happens before the task state is set to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE:
      
      CPU0                            CPU1
      
      kvm_vcpu_block
      
      add_wait_queue
      
      kvm_cpu_has_interrupt = 0
                                      set interrupt
                                      if (waitqueue_active())
                                              wake_up_interruptible()
      
      kvm_cpu_has_pending_timer
      kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable
      signal_pending
      
      set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
      schedule()
      
      Can be fixed by using prepare_to_wait() which sets the task state before
      testing for the wait condition.

      [PATCH] sanitize anon_inode_getfd() · 2030a42c
      Al Viro authored
      
      a) none of the callers even looks at inode or file returned by anon_inode_getfd()
      b) any caller that would try to look at those would be racy, since by the time
      it returns we might have raced with close() from another thread and that
      file would be pining for fjords.
