From c09664bb44184b3846e8c5254db4eae4b932682a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcelo Tosatti Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:54:32 -0300 Subject: KVM: x86: fix deadlock in clock-in-progress request handling There is a deadlock in pvclock handling: cpu0: cpu1: kvm_gen_update_masterclock() kvm_guest_time_update() spin_lock(pvclock_gtod_sync_lock) local_irq_save(flags) spin_lock(pvclock_gtod_sync_lock) kvm_make_mclock_inprogress_request(kvm) make_all_cpus_request() smp_call_function_many() Now if smp_call_function_many() called by cpu0 tries to call function on cpu1 there will be a deadlock. Fix by moving pvclock_gtod_sync_lock protected section outside irq disabled section.
