From 3e515705a1f46beb1c942bb8043c16f8ac7b1e9e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Avi Kivity Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2012 14:23:29 +0200 Subject: KVM: Ensure all vcpus are consistent with in-kernel irqchip settings If some vcpus are created before KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, then irqchip_in_kernel() and vcpu->arch.apic will be inconsistent, leading to potential NULL pointer dereferences. Fix by: - ensuring that no vcpus are installed when KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP is called - ensuring that a vcpu has an apic if it is installed after KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP This is somewhat long winded because vcpu->arch.apic is created without kvm->lock held. Based on earlier patch by Michael Ellerman.
