Hi Juergen,

When testing Linux 5.10 dom0, I could reliably hit the following warning with using event 2L ABI:

This can be reproduced when creating/destroying guest in a loop. Although, I have struggled to reproduce it on a vanilla Xen.

After several hours of debugging, I think I have found the root cause.

While we only expect the unmask to happen when the event channel is EOIed, there is an unmask happening as part of handle_edge_irq() because the interrupt was seen as pending by another vCPU (IRQS_PENDING is set).

It turns out that the event channel is set for multiple vCPU is in cpu_evtchn_mask. This is happening because the affinity is not cleared when freeing an event channel.

The implementation of evtchn_2l_handle_events() will look for all the active interrupts for the current vCPU and later on clear the pending bit (via the ack() callback). IOW, I believe, this is not an atomic operation.

Even if Xen will notify the event to a single vCPU, evtchn_pending_sel may still be set on the other vCPU (thanks to a different event channel). Therefore, there is a chance that two vCPUs will try to handle the same interrupt.

The IRQ handler handle_edge_irq() is able to deal with that and will mask/unmask the interrupt. This will mess us with the lateeoi logic (although, I managed to reproduce it once without XSA-332).

Thanks for the analysis!

My initial idea to fix the problem was to switch the affinity from CPU X to CPU0 when the event channel is freed.

However, I am not sure this is enough because I haven't found anything yet preventing a race between evtchn_2l_handle_events9) and evtchn_2l_bind_vcpu().

So maybe we want to introduce a refcounting (if there is nothing provided by the IRQ framework) and only unmask when the counter drop to 0.

Any opinions?

I think we don't need a refcount, but just the internal states "masked"
and "eoi_pending" and unmask only if both are false. "masked" will be
set when the event is being masked. When delivering a lateeoi irq
"eoi_pending" will be set and "masked "reset. "masked" will be reset
when a normal unmask is happening. And "eoi_pending" will be reset
when a lateeoi is signaled. Any reset of "masked" and "eoi_pending"
will check the other flag and do an unmask if both are false.

I'll write a patch.

Julien, could you please test the attached (only build tested) patch?

I can boot dom0 and a guest. However, if I destroy the guest and create a new one, I will get hundreds of WARN() similar to the one I originally reported and the guest wouldn't boot.

The same issue can now be reproduced on a vanilla Xen 4.15 and Linux 5.10 (no change expect your patch). I haven't looked at the code but it looks like to me the interrupt state is getting de-synchronized when re-used.

I also got the below splat once, so I am not entirely sure if this is related:
