KVM: protect assigned dev workqueue, int handler and irq acker
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
kvm_assigned_dev_ack_irq is vulnerable to a race condition with the
interrupt handler function. It does:

        if (dev->host_irq_disabled) {
                enable_irq(dev->host_irq);
                dev->host_irq_disabled = false;
        }

If an interrupt triggers before the host->dev_irq_disabled assignment,
it will disable the interrupt and set dev->host_irq_disabled to true.

On return to kvm_assigned_dev_ack_irq, dev->host_irq_disabled is set to
false, and the next kvm_assigned_dev_ack_irq call will fail to reenable
it.

Other than that, having the interrupt handler and work handlers run in
parallel sounds like asking for trouble (could not spot any obvious
problem, but better not have to, its fragile).
