[PATCH 3.10 029/319] KVM: Disable irq while unregistering user notifier

Show all headers | View raw

From: Ignacio Alvarado <ikalvarado@google.com>

commit 1650b4ebc99da4c137bfbfc531be4a2405f951dd upstream.

Function user_notifier_unregister should be called only once for each
registered user notifier.

Function kvm_arch_hardware_disable can be executed from an IPI context
which could cause a race condition with a VCPU returning to user mode
and attempting to unregister the notifier.
