This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled xen/events: mask events when changing their VCPU binding to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 591b619dee78e29f62a56a60b19e959c758cdc5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:21:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] xen/events: mask events when changing their VCPU binding commit 4704fe4f03a5ab27e3c36184af85d5000e0f8a48 upstream. When a event is being bound to a VCPU there is a window between the EVTCHNOP_bind_vpcu call and the adjustment of the local per-cpu masks where an event may be lost. The hypervisor upcalls the new VCPU but the kernel thinks that event is still bound to the old VCPU and ignores it. There is even a problem when the event is being bound to the same VCPU as there is a small window beween the clear_bit() and set_bit() calls in bind_evtchn_to_cpu(). When scanning for pending events, the kernel may read the bit when it is momentarily clear and ignore the event. Avoid this by masking the event during the whole bind operation.
