Since cd758a9b57ee "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Use __gfn_to_pfn_memslot in HPT page fault handler", it's been possible in fairly rare circumstances to load a non-present PTE in kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault() when running a guest on a POWER8 host. Because that case wasn't checked for, we could misinterpret the non-present PTE as being a cache-inhibited PTE. That could mismatch with the corresponding hash PTE, which would cause the function to fail with -EFAULT a little further down. That would propagate up to the KVM_RUN ioctl() generally causing the KVM userspace (usually qemu) to fall over. This addresses the problem by catching that case and returning to the guest instead, letting it fault again, and retrying the whole page fault from the beginning. For completeness, this fixes the radix page fault handler in the same way. For radix this didn't cause any obvious misbehaviour, because we ended up putting the non-present PTE into the guest's partition-scoped page tables, leading immediately to another hypervisor data/instruction storage interrupt, which would go through the page fault path again and fix things up.
