From a0cff57bb2a41cb9cbf13d3203097b4156d8c0ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davidlohr Bueso Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2017 13:08:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kvm,x86: Fix apf_task_wake_one() wq serialization During code inspection, the following potential race was seen: CPU0 CPU1 kvm_async_pf_task_wait apf_task_wake_one [L] swait_active(&n->wq) [S] prepare_to_swait(&n.wq) [L] if (!hlist_unhahed(&n.link)) schedule() [S] hlist_del_init(&n->link); Properly serialize swait_active() checks such that a wakeup is not missed.
