On current 4.1.y stable kernel (4.1.35) on a Broadwell-EP system, I see the
following when shutting down a multiple vcpu VM:

The error is coming out of vmx_disable_pml() when freeing the 2nd and
subsequent vcpus, as SECONDARY_EXEC_ENABLE_PML was already cleared from the
SECONDARY_VM_EXEC_CONTROL when the first vcpu was freed.
Additionally pulling back a3eaa8649e4c6a6afdafaa04b9114fb230617bb1 ("KVM: VMX:
Fix commit which broke PML") from 4.4 resolves it for me, as it fixes
the above condition.
Is this the correct fix for 4.1.y?

Hi Greg,
Thanks for reporting this issue.
I don't have 4.1.y source code tree at hand but after taking a glance
looks the commit a3eaa8649e4c6a6afdafaa04b9114fb230617bb1 ("KVM: VMX:
Fix commit which broke PML") fixes this by removing vmwrite to
SECONDARY_VM_EXEC_CONTROL in vmx_disable_pml, so yes I think this commit
can fix this issue.
But I think you probably need another commit to fix potential vmwrite
error when creating vcpu: 4e59516a12a6ef6dcb660cb3a3f70c64bd60cfec (kvm:
vmx: ensure VMCS is current while enabling PML). Peter found and fixed
this issue, so I also added him to cc-list.
Paolo/Radim, please comment if I made mistake here.
Thanks,
-Kai

Yes, we should backport both of them. Greg, can you test it? Then I'll
send the two patches to linux-stable.

Yes, we've been running with both patches internally without problems
for a week or so.
