    KVM: selftests: Fix a semaphore imbalance in the dirty ring logging test · ba58f873
    Sean Christopherson authored
    When finishing the final iteration of dirty_log_test testcase, set
    host_quit _before_ the final "continue" so that the vCPU worker doesn't
    run an extra iteration, and delete the hack-a-fix of an extra "continue"
    from the dirty ring testcase.  This fixes a bug where the extra post to
    sem_vcpu_cont may not be consumed, which results in failures in subsequent
    runs of the testcases.  The bug likely was missed during development as
    x86 supports only a single "guest mode", i.e. there aren't any subsequent
    testcases after the dirty ring test, because for_each_guest_mode() only
    runs a single iteration.
    
    For the regular dirty log testcases, letting the vCPU run one extra
    iteration is a non-issue as the vCPU worker waits on sem_vcpu_cont if and
    only if the worker is explicitly told to stop (vcpu_sync_stop_requested).
    But for the dirty ring test, which needs to periodically stop the vCPU to
    reap the dirty ring, letting the vCPU resume the guest _after_ the last
    iteration means the vCPU will get stuck without an extra "continue".
    
    However, blindly firing off an post to sem_vcpu_cont isn't guaranteed to
    be consumed, e.g. if the vCPU worker sees host_quit==true before resuming
    the guest.  This results in a dangling sem_vcpu_cont, which leads to
    subsequent iterations getting out of sync, as the vCPU worker will
    continue on before the main task is ready for it to resume the guest,
    leading to a variety of asserts, e.g.

      Didn't continue vcpu even without ring full
    
    Alternatively, the test could simply reset the semaphores before each
    testcase, but papering over hacks with more hacks usually ends in tears.
