[ Upstream commit 0d3c6b2889 ]
commit 6398326b9b ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV P9: Stop using vc->dpdes")
introduced an optimization to use only vcpu->doorbell_request for SMT
emulation for Power9 and above guests, but the code for nested guests
still relies on the old way of handling doorbells, due to which an L2
guest (see [1]) cannot be booted with XICS with SMT>1. The command to
repro this issue is:
// To be run in L1
qemu-system-ppc64 \
-drive file=rhel.qcow2,format=qcow2 \
-m 20G \
-smp 8,cores=1,threads=8 \
-cpu host \
-nographic \
-machine pseries,ic-mode=xics -accel kvm
Fix the plumbing to utilize vcpu->doorbell_request instead of vcore->dpdes
for nested KVM guests on P9 and above.
[1] Terminology
1. L0 : PowerNV linux running with HV privileges
2. L1 : Pseries KVM guest running on top of L0
2. L2 : Nested KVM guest running on top of L1
