If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sean Christopherson commit 98ade8c48c28c227fe2e80e545ff0c57cd4712a3 upstream. Always mark the vCPU as RUNNABLE after responding to AP_CREATE, even if the guest-specified VMSA is unusable, e.g. isn't backed by a memslot or doesn't have a backing guest_memfd page. If the VMSA is unusable, leaving the vCPU in a non-running state will effectively hang the vCPU instead of reporting an error to userspace. This will also allow retrying the VMSA load in the future, to fix a bug where KVM doesn't honor guest_memfd invalidation events, e.g. if AP_CREATION races with PUNCH_HOLE.
