Subject: [PATCH] hw/hyperv: fix SynIC not initialized for CPUs after the first
Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 11:50:55 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260321062055.20839-1-souravpoddar93042@gmail.com> (raw)
hyperv_is_synic_enabled() is a global flag that returns true after the
first CPU initializes SynIC. With -smp N, all subsequent CPUs skip
hyperv_x86_synic_add() in hyperv_enable_synic(), leaving them without
a synic object. This causes get_synic() to return NULL, making
hyperv_sint_route_new() fail and triggering an assertion crash in
hyperv_testdev.
Fix by introducing hyperv_is_synic_present() which checks per-CPU
whether a synic object is already attached instead of using the global
flag.
Fixes: c4cf32fc63f1 ("kvm/hyperv: add synic feature to CPU only if its not enabled")
