From: ZhuangYanying <ann.zhuangyanying@xxxxxxxxxx> When spin_lock_irqsave() deadlock occurs inside the guest, vcpu threads, other than the lock-holding one, would enter into S state because of pvspinlock. Then inject NMI via libvirt API "inject-nmi", the NMI could not be injected into vm. The reason is: 1 It sets nmi_queued to 1 when calling ioctl KVM_NMI in qemu, and sets cpu->kvm_vcpu_dirty to true in do_inject_external_nmi() meanwhile. 2 It sets nmi_queued to 0 in process_nmi(), before entering guest, because cpu->kvm_vcpu_dirty is true. It's not enough just to check nmi_queued to decide whether to stay in vcpu_block() or not. NMI should be injected immediately at any situation. Add checking nmi_pending, and testing KVM_REQ_NMI replaces nmi_queued in vm_vcpu_has_events(). Do the same change for SMIs.
