Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: vgic-v4: Consistently request doorbell irq for blocking vCPU
Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2023 17:55:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230710175553.1477762-1-oliver.upton@linux.dev> (raw)

Xiang reports that VMs occasionally fail to boot on GICv4.1 systems when
running a preemptible kernel, as it is possible that a vCPU is blocked
without requesting a doorbell interrupt.

The issue is that any preemption that occurs between vgic_v4_put() and
schedule() on the block path will mark the vPE as nonresident and *not*
request a doorbell irq.

Fix it by consistently requesting a doorbell irq in the vcpu put path if
the vCPU is blocking. While this technically means we could drop the
early doorbell irq request in kvm_vcpu_wfi(), deliberately leave it
intact such that vCPU halt polling can properly detect the wakeup
condition before actually scheduling out a vCPU.
