Subject[PATCH v2] KVM: Fix a data race on last_boosted_vcpu in kvm_vcpu_on_spin()
Date
Use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() to access kvm->last_boosted_vcpu to ensure the
loads and stores are atomic. In the extremely unlikely scenario the
compiler tears the stores, it's theoretically possible for KVM to attempt
to get a vCPU using an out-of-bounds index, e.g. if the write is split
into multiple 8-bit stores, and is paired with a 32-bit load on a VM with
257 vCPUs:

CPU0 CPU1
last_boosted_vcpu = 0xff;

(last_boosted_vcpu = 0x100)
last_boosted_vcpu[15:8] = 0x01;
i = (last_boosted_vcpu = 0x1ff)
last_boosted_vcpu[7:0] = 0x00;

vcpu = kvm->vcpu_array[0x1ff];

As detected by KCSAN:
