Async PF 'page ready' event may happen when LAPIC is (temporary) disabled.
In particular, Sebastien reports that when Linux kernel is directly booted
by Cloud Hypervisor, LAPIC is 'software disabled' when APF mechanism is
initialized. On initialization KVM tries to inject 'wakeup all' event and
puts the corresponding token to the slot. It is, however, failing to inject
an interrupt (kvm_apic_set_irq() -> __apic_accept_irq() -> !apic_enabled())
so the guest never gets notified and the whole APF mechanism gets stuck.
The same issue is likely to happen if the guest temporary disables LAPIC
and a previously unavailable page becomes available.
Do two things to resolve the issue:
- Avoid dequeuing 'page ready' events from APF queue when LAPIC is
disabled.
- Trigger an attempt to deliver pending 'page ready' events when LAPIC
becomes enabled (SPIV or MSR_IA32_APICBASE).
