Hi Tianyu,
While testing the guest patches on KVM host, My guest kernel is stuck
at early bootup. As it did not seem a hang but sort of loop where
interrupts are getting processed from "pv_native_irq_enable" path
repeatedly and prevent boot process to make progress IIUC. Did you face
any such scenario in your testing?
It seems to me "native_irq_enable" enable interrupts and
"check_hv_pending_irq_enable" starts handling the interrupts (after
disabling irqs). But "check_hv_pending_irq_enable=>do_exc_hv" can again
call "pv_native_irq_enable" in interrupt handling path and execute the
same loop?
I don't meet the issue. Thanks for report. I will double check and
report back.
Also pasting below the stack dump [1].
Thanks,
Pankaj
