Message-ID: <32637.1376969314@ale.ozlabs.ibm.com> Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2013 13:28:34 +1000 From: Michael Neuling <mikey@...ling.org> To: penberg@...nel.org cc: kvm@...r.kernel.org, kvm-ppc@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, michael@...erman.id.au, Ian Munsie <ianmunsi@....ibm.com> Subject: [PATCH] kvm tools: powerpc: Fix init order for xics xics_init() assumes kvm->nrcpus is already setup. kvm->nrcpus is setup in kvm_cpu_init() Unfortunately xics_init() and kvm_cpu_init() both use base_init(). So depending on the order randomly determined by the compiler, xics_init() may initialised see kvm->nrcpus as 0 and not setup any of the icp VCPU pointers. This manifests itself later in boot when trying to raise an IRQ resulting in a null pointer deference/segv. This moves xics_init() to use dev_base_init() to ensure it happens after kvm_cpu_init().
