I realized this is a bit racy: we may miss a mask or unmask event just
before kvm_register_irq_ack_notifier(), so irqfd_resampler_ack() may
see an outdated irq mask state.

Moving kvm_register_irq_mask_notifier() before
kvm_register_irq_ack_notifier() isn't enough, since a mask or unmask
may still happen just before kvm_register_irq_mask_notifier().

This race can be avoided by moving also resampler->masked initialization
(kvm_irq_is_masked()) after kvm_register_irq_mask_notifier(). But then
kvm_irq_is_masked() would need to be called under resampler->lock,
which could cause a deadlock, since kvm_irq_is_masked() locks
ioapic->lock while irqfd_resampler_mask() is called under ioapic->lock
(or correspondingly pic->lock).

So for v2 I'm considering replacing kvm_irq_is_masked() with a function
like the following, for registering & initializing mask notifier in a
presumably race-free deadlock-free way. (The below is just a sketch
showing the locking order; the actual code would be more complicated
due to irq -> pin mapping etc.)

void kvm_register_and_fire_irq_mask_notifier(struct kvm *kvm, int irq,
                                             struct kvm_irq_mask_notifier *kimn)
{
        struct kvm_pic *pic = kvm->arch.vpic;
        struct kvm_ioapic *ioapic = kvm->arch.vioapic;
        bool masked;

        mutex_lock(&kvm->irq_lock);
        spin_lock(&pic->lock);
        spin_lock(&ioapic->lock);

        kimn->irq = irq;
        hlist_add_head_rcu(&kimn->link, &kvm->arch.mask_notifier_list);

        masked = kvm_pic_irq_is_masked(pic, irq) &&
                 kvm_ioapic_irq_is_masked(ioapic, irq);
        kimn->func(kimn, masked);

        spin_unlock(&ioapic->lock);
        spin_unlock(&pic->lock);
        mutex_unlock(&kvm->irq_lock);
}


This implies that I'll probably go with moving the mask notifiers stuff
back to x86-specific code, and just add a weak no-op version for other
architectures.

Thanks,
Dmytro
