KVM: selftests: Fix a semaphore imbalance in the dirty ring logging test
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. ==== Test Assertion Failure ==== dirty_log_test.c:384: dirty_ring_vcpu_ring_full pid=14854 tid=14854 errno=22 - Invalid argument 1 0x00000000004033eb: dirty_ring_collect_dirty_pages at dirty_log_test.c:384 2 0x0000000000402d27: log_mode_collect_dirty_pages at dirty_log_test.c:505 3 (inlined by) run_test at dirty_log_test.c:802 4 0x0000000000403dc7: for_each_guest_mode at guest_modes.c:100 5 0x0000000000401dff: main at dirty_log_test.c:941 (discriminator 3) 6 0x0000ffff9be173c7: ?? ??:0 7 0x0000ffff9be1749f: ?? ??:0 8 0x000000000040206f: _start at ??:? 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.
