From: Chris Co <chrco@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> When invoking kexec() on a Linux guest running on a Hyper-V host, the kernel panics. RIP: 0010:cpuhp_issue_call+0x137/0x140 Call Trace: __cpuhp_remove_state_cpuslocked+0x99/0x100 __cpuhp_remove_state+0x1c/0x30 hv_kexec_handler+0x23/0x30 [hv_vmbus] hv_machine_shutdown+0x1e/0x30 machine_shutdown+0x10/0x20 kernel_kexec+0x6d/0x96 __do_sys_reboot+0x1ef/0x230 __x64_sys_reboot+0x1d/0x20 do_syscall_64+0x6b/0x3d8 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 This was due to hv_synic_cleanup() callback returning -EBUSY to cpuhp_issue_call() when tearing down the VMBUS_CONNECT_CPU, even if the vmbus_connection.conn_state = DISCONNECTED. hv_synic_cleanup() should succeed in the case where vmbus_connection.conn_state is DISCONNECTED. Fix is to add an extra condition to test for vmbus_connection.conn_state == CONNECTED on the VMBUS_CONNECT_CPU and only return early if true. This way the kexec() path can still shut everything down while preserving the initial behavior of preventing CPU offlining on the VMBUS_CONNECT_CPU while the VM is running.
