Yes, that makes sense to me. If we can explain why we don't need to do anything, we should keep that explanation easily accessible. >> >> Also, do we want to document this sync is explicitly for irq enable/disable? >> synchronize_irq_enable_disable? > > I would not since the transport is not guaranteed to use an interrupt > for callbacks. > >> >> >> > > >> > > > >> > > >> --- >> > > >> drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.c | 14 ++++++++++++++ >> > > >> drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.h | 2 ++ >> > > >> drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_legacy.c | 1 + >> > > >> drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_modern.c | 2 ++ >> > > >> 4 files changed, 19 insertions(+) >> > > >> >> > > >> diff --git a/drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.c >> > > >> b/drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.c >> > > >> index d724f676608b..b78c8bc93a97 100644 >> > > >> --- a/drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.c >> > > >> +++ b/drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.c >> > > >> @@ -37,6 +37,20 @@ void vp_synchronize_vectors(struct virtio_device >> > > >> *vdev) >> > > >> synchronize_irq(pci_irq_vector(vp_dev->pci_dev, i)); >> > > >> } >> > > >> >> > > >> +void vp_synchronize_vqs(struct virtio_device *vdev) >> > > >> +{ >> > > >> + struct virtio_pci_device *vp_dev = to_vp_device(vdev); >> > > >> + int i; >> > > >> + >> > > >> + if (vp_dev->intx_enabled) { >> > > >> + synchronize_irq(vp_dev->pci_dev->irq); >> > > >> + return; >> > > >> + } >> > > >> + >> > > >> + for (i = 0; i < vp_dev->msix_vectors; ++i) >> > > >> + synchronize_irq(pci_irq_vector(vp_dev->pci_dev, i)); >> > > >> +} >> > > >> + >> > > >> > > ...given that this seems to synchronize threaded interrupt handlers? >> > > Halil, do you think ccw needs to do anything?

I'd say ccw is safe against "notification interrupts before indicators have been registered". For the reverse case, maybe we should always invalidate the indicators in the reset case? More information regarding the attack vector would help here :) My main concern is that we would need to synchronize against a single interrupt that covers all kinds of I/O interrupts, not just a single device... _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
