SubjectRe: [PATCH] KVM: vmx: fix underflow in TSC deadline calculation
2016-06-27 21:11 GMT+08:00 Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>:
> If the TSC deadline timer is programmed really close to the deadline or
> even in the past, the computation in vmx_set_hv_timer can underflow and
> cause delta_tsc to be set to a huge value. This generally results
> in vmx_set_hv_timer returning -ERANGE, but we can fix it by limiting
> delta_tsc to be positive or zero.

This patch still can't fix the bug after my testing. I have a patch on
hand and will send out soon.
