Subject[RFC PATCH 09/10] KVM: VMX: fix unsyc vmcs status when cpu is going down
Date
From: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

When vcpu is scheduled to the different cpu, it should sent IPI to
the cpu which the vcpu ran to clear the vcpu->vmcs

It is safe since cpu-offline path can not concurrently run with
other cpu. After implementing stop_machine()-free, smp_call_function_sing
will return -ENXIO immediately when the target cpu is going down, that
means, we can load the vmcs but it is not cleared on target cpu and corrupt
per_cpu(loaded_vmcss_on_cpu, cpu). This bug can be triggered under this case:

# general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

Fix it by waiting for target vcpu to clear the vmcs
