This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled KVM: s390: clear kicked_mask before sleeping again to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kvm-s390-clear-kicked_mask-before-sleeping-again.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 35be2f788a95474f15cb7699c490e4fe1d1baa9f Author: Halil Pasic <pasic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Oct 19 19:53:59 2021 +0200 KVM: s390: clear kicked_mask before sleeping again [ Upstream commit 9b57e9d5010bbed7c0d9d445085840f7025e6f9a ] The idea behind kicked mask is that we should not re-kick a vcpu that is already in the "kick" process, i.e. that was kicked and is is about to be dispatched if certain conditions are met. The problem with the current implementation is, that it assumes the kicked vcpu is going to enter SIE shortly. But under certain circumstances, the vcpu we just kicked will be deemed non-runnable and will remain in wait state. This can happen, if the interrupt(s) this vcpu got kicked to deal with got already cleared (because the interrupts got delivered to another vcpu). In this case kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() would return false, and the vcpu would remain in kvm_vcpu_block(), but this time with its kicked_mask bit set. So next time around we wouldn't kick the vcpu form __airqs_kick_single_vcpu(), but would assume that we just kicked it. Let us make sure the kicked_mask is cleared before we give up on re-dispatching the vcpu.
