    KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Don't lose pending doorbell request on migration on P9 · ff42df49
    Paul Mackerras authored
    On POWER9, when userspace reads the value of the DPDES register on a
    vCPU, it is possible for 0 to be returned although there is a doorbell
    interrupt pending for the vCPU.  This can lead to a doorbell interrupt
    being lost across migration.  If the guest kernel uses doorbell
    interrupts for IPIs, then it could malfunction because of the lost
    interrupt.
    
    This happens because a newly-generated doorbell interrupt is signalled
    by setting vcpu->arch.doorbell_request to 1; the DPDES value in
    vcpu->arch.vcore->dpdes is not updated, because it can only be updated
    when holding the vcpu mutex, in order to avoid races.
    
    To fix this, we OR in vcpu->arch.doorbell_request when reading the
    DPDES value.
