[PATCH] x86/paravirt: Guard against invalid cpu # in pv_vcpu_is_preempted()
From: Waiman Long
Date: Mon Mar 25 2019 - 11:57:41 EST
It was found that passing an invalid cpu number to pv_vcpu_is_preempted()
might panic the kernel in a VM guest. For example,
[ 2.531077] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
:
[ 2.532545] Hardware name: Red Hat KVM, BIOS 0.5.1 01/01/2011
[ 2.533321] RIP: 0010:__raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempted+0x0/0x20
To guard against this kind of kernel panic, check is added to
pv_vcpu_is_preempted() to make sure that no invalid cpu number will
be used.
