Commit ea5f49692575 ("KVM: s390: only one external call may be pending at a time") introduced a bug on machines that don't have SIGP interpretation facility installed. The injection of an external call will now always fail with -EBUSY (if none is already pending). This leads to the following symptoms: - An external call will be injected but with the wrong "src cpu id", as this id will not be remembered. - The target vcpu will not be woken up, therefore the guest will hang if it cannot deal with unexpected failures of the SIGP EXTERNAL CALL instruction. - If an external call is already pending, -EBUSY will not be reported.
