[075/136] KVM: MMU: fix missing locking in alloc_mmu_pages

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Oct 01 2009 - 21:49:34 EST


2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@xxxxxxxxxx>

(cherry picked from commit 6a1ac77110ee3e8d8dfdef8442f3b30b3d83e6a2)

n_requested_mmu_pages/n_free_mmu_pages are used by
kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages to calculate the number of pages to zap.

alloc_mmu_pages, called from the vcpu initialization path, modifies this
variables without proper locking, which can result in a negative value
in kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages (say, with cpu hotplug).
