KVM protects the device list with SRCU, and therefore different calls to kvm_io_bus_read()/kvm_io_bus_write() can very well see different incarnations of kvm->buses. If userspace unregisters a device while vCPUs are running there is no well-defined result. This patch applies a safe fallback by returning early from emulator_pio_in_out(). This corresponds to returning zeroes from IN, and dropping the writes on the floor for OUT. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
