From abdf58438356c7baf34bdd98084b094ca3a6a23f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Zyngier Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2015 15:00:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] arm/arm64: KVM: Move vgic handling to a non-preemptible section MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit As we're about to introduce some serious GIC-poking to the vgic code, it is important to make sure that we're going to poke the part of the GIC that belongs to the CPU we're about to run on (otherwise, we'd end up with some unexpected interrupts firing)... Introducing a non-preemptible section in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run prevents the problem from occuring.
