KVM: VMX: fix memory order between loading vmcs and clearing vmcs
vmcs->cpu indicates whether it exists on the target cpu, -1 means the vmcs does not exist on any vcpu If vcpu load vmcs with vmcs.cpu = -1, it can be directly added to cpu's percpu list. The list can be corrupted if the cpu prefetch the vmcs's list before reading vmcs->cpu. Meanwhile, we should remove vmcs from the list before making vmcs->vcpu == -1 be visible Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
