If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Paul Mackerras commit 3deda5e50c893be38c1b6b3a73f8f8fb5560baa4 upstream. If the target vcpu for kvmppc_fast_vcpu_kick_hv() is not running on any CPU, then we will have vcpu->arch.thread_cpu == -1, and as it happens, kvmppc_fast_vcpu_kick_hv will call kvmppc_ipi_thread with -1 as the cpu argument. Although this is not meaningful, in the past, before commit 1704a81ccebc ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use msgsnd for IPIs to other cores on POWER9", 2016-11-18), it was harmless because CPU -1 is not in the same core as any real CPU thread. On a POWER9, however, we don't do the "same core" check, so we were trying to do a msgsnd to thread -1, which is invalid. To avoid this, we add a check to see that vcpu->arch.thread_cpu is >= 0 before calling kvmppc_ipi_thread() with it. Since vcpu->arch.thread_vcpu can change asynchronously, we use READ_ONCE to ensure that the value we check is the same value that we use as the argument to kvmppc_ipi_thread().
