Subject: [PATCH v3] arm64: paravirt: Use RCU read locks to guard stolen_time

From: Prakruthi Deepak Heragu <[email protected]>

During hotplug, the stolen time data structure is unmapped and memset.
There is a possibility of the timer IRQ being triggered before memset
and stolen time is getting updated as part of this timer IRQ handler. This
causes the below crash in timer handler -

As a fix, introduce rcu lock to update stolen time structure.

Looks good to me, but one quick question though (see below).

The original code used to memset the stolen time region, but this
patch seems to drop it. Was that change intentional?

'struct pv_time_stolen_time_region' only has one field ('kaddr'), which
we're now clearing with rcu_replace_pointer() so the memset doesn't make
sense.
