H A Duser-return-notifier.hdiff 8e7cac79808b62f242069a6ac88d364d35621371 Sun Nov 29 08:34:48 CST 2009 Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> core: Fix user return notifier on fork()

fork() clones all thread_info flags, including
TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY; if the new task is first scheduled on a cpu
which doesn't have user return notifiers set, this causes user
return notifiers to trigger without any way of clearing itself.

This is easy to trigger with a forky workload on the host in
parallel with kvm, resulting in a cpu in an endless loop on the
verge of returning to userspace.

Fix by dropping the TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY immediately after fork.
