Re: [PATCH v4 1/2] KVM: remove NULL return path for vcpu ids >= KVM_MAX_VCPUS

From: Gerg Kurz
Date: Wed Apr 27 2016 - 05:41:09 EST



Quoting Greg Kurz <gkurz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

Commit c896939f7cff ("KVM: use heuristic for fast VCPU lookup by id") added
a return path that prevents vcpu ids to exceed KVM_MAX_VCPUS. This is a
problem for powerpc where vcpu ids can grow up to 8*KVM_MAX_VCPUS.

This patch simply reverses the logic so that we only try fast path if the
vcpu id can be tried as an index in kvm->vcpus[]. The slow path is not
affected by the change.

Radim,

I think this sanity check is only needed because kvm_get_vcpu() use the
id as an index in kvm->vcpus[]. Checking against the new KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID
would be clearly wrong here.

And this patch got two R-b tags already. Do you agree we keep it ?

Cheers.
