[PATCH 7/7] kvm,mips: Fix potential swait_active() races

From: Davidlohr Bueso
Date: Wed Sep 13 2017 - 16:09:17 EST


For example, the following could occur, making us miss a wakeup:

CPU0 CPU1
kvm_vcpu_block kvm_mips_comparecount_func
[L] swait_active(&vcpu->wq)
[S] prepare_to_swait(&vcpu->wq)
[L] if (!kvm_vcpu_has_pending_timer(vcpu))
schedule() [S] queue_timer_int(vcpu)

Ensure that the swait_active() check is not hoisted over the interrupt.
