From 8bb93c6f99a42c2e0943bc904b283cd622d302c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Alex=20Benn=C3=A9e?= Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2017 14:48:25 +0000 Subject: ui/console: ensure graphic updates don't race with TCG vCPUs MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Commit 8d04fb55.. tcg: drop global lock during TCG code execution ..broke the assumption that updates to the GUI couldn't happen at the same time as TCG vCPUs where running. As a result the TCG vCPU could still be updating a directly mapped frame-buffer while the display side was updating. This would cause artefacts to appear when the update code assumed that memory block hadn't changed. The simplest solution is to ensure the two things can't happen at the same time like the old BQL locking scheme. Here we use the solution introduced for MTTCG and schedule the update as async_safe_work when we know no vCPUs can be running.
