This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled x86: vdso: fix pvclock races with task migration to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt11. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From ad9e5bf0b5ab08fcfbd0b555b1302968a5a4f1cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Radim=20Kr=C4=8Dm=C3=A1=C5=99?= <rkrcmar@redhat.com> Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2015 20:44:23 +0200 Subject: x86: vdso: fix pvclock races with task migration MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit commit 80f7fdb1c7f0f9266421f823964fd1962681f6ce upstream. If we were migrated right after __getcpu, but before reading the migration_count, we wouldn't notice that we read TSC of a different VCPU, nor that KVM's bug made pvti invalid, as only migration_count on source VCPU is increased. Change vdso instead of updating migration_count on destination.
