A GISA cannot be destroyed as long it is linked in the GIB alert list as this would breake the alert list. Just waiting for its removal from the list triggered by another vm is not sufficient as it might be the only vm. The below shown cpu stall situation might occur when GIB alerts are delayed and is fixed by calling process_gib_alert_list() instead of waiting. At this time the vcpus of the vm are already destroyed and thus no vcpu can be kicked to enter the SIE again if for some reason an interrupt is pending for that vm. The situation can now be observed in the kvm-trace: 00 01692784587:752383 3 - 0014 000003ff80165b58 vm 0x000000008a880000 created by pid 1462 00 01692784634:287555 3 - 0007 000003ff80172c14 vm 0x000000008a880000 gisa in alert list during destroy 00 01692784634:322955 3 - 0002 000003ff8016219a vm 0x000000008a880000 destroyed CPU stall caused by kvm_s390_gisa_destroy(): [ 4915.311372] rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected expedited stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 14-.... } 24533 jiffies s: 5269 root: 0x1/.
