Nikita Leshenko b501603be9 KVM: x86: ioapic: Fix level-triggered EOI and IOAPIC reconfigure race
[ Upstream commit 0fc5a36dd6b345eb0d251a65c236e53bead3eef7 ]

KVM uses ioapic_handled_vectors to track vectors that need to notify the
IOAPIC on EOI. The problem is that IOAPIC can be reconfigured while an
interrupt with old configuration is pending or running and
ioapic_handled_vectors only remembers the newest configuration;
thus EOI from the old interrupt is not delievered to the IOAPIC.

A previous commit db2bdcbbbd32
("KVM: x86: fix edge EOI and IOAPIC reconfig race")
addressed this issue by adding pending edge-triggered interrupts to
ioapic_handled_vectors, fixing this race for edge-triggered interrupts.
The commit explicitly ignored level-triggered interrupts,
but this race applies to them as well:

1) IOAPIC sends a level triggered interrupt vector to VCPU0
2) VCPU0's handler deasserts the irq line and reconfigures the IOAPIC
   to route the vector to VCPU1. The reconfiguration rewrites only the
   upper 32 bits of the IOREDTBLn register. (Causes KVM to update
   ioapic_handled_vectors for VCPU0 and it no longer includes the vector.)
3) VCPU0 sends EOI for the vector, but it's not delievered to the
   IOAPIC because the ioapic_handled_vectors doesn't include the vector.
4) New interrupts are not delievered to VCPU1 because remote_irr bit
   is set forever.

Therefore, the correct behavior is to add all pending and running
interrupts to ioapic_handled_vectors.

This commit introduces a slight performance hit similar to
commit db2bdcbbbd32 ("KVM: x86: fix edge EOI and IOAPIC reconfig race")
for the rare case that the vector is reused by a non-IOAPIC source on
VCPU0. We prefer to keep solution simple and not handle this case just
as the original commit does.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
