commitff42df49e7upstream. 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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
