Currently a CPU running a guest can receive a H_DOORBELL in the following two cases: 1) When the CPU is napping due to CEDE or there not being a guest vcpu. 2) The CPU is running the guest vcpu. Case 1), the doorbell message is not cleared since we were waking up from nap. Hence when the EE bit gets set on transition from guest to host, the H_DOORBELL interrupt is delivered to the host and the corresponding handler is invoked. However in Case 2), the message gets cleared by the action of taking the H_DOORBELL interrupt. Since the CPU was running a guest, instead of invoking the doorbell handler, the code invokes the second-level interrupt handler to switch the context from the guest to the host. At this point the setting of the EE bit doesn't result in the CPU getting the doorbell interrupt since it has already been delivered once. So, the handler for this doorbell is never invoked! This causes softlockups if the missed DOORBELL was an IPI sent from a sibling subcore on the same CPU. This patch fixes it by explitly invoking the doorbell handler on the exit path if the exit reason is H_DOORBELL similar to the way an EXTERNAL interrupt is handled. Since this will also handle Case 1), we can unconditionally clear the doorbell message in kvmppc_check_wake_reason. Signed-off-by: Gautham R.
