[ Upstream commit 0d3c6b28896f9889c8864dab469e0343a0ad1c0c ] commit6398326b9b("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.

L2 : Nested KVM guest running on top of L1 Fixes:6398326b9b("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV P9: Stop using vc->dpdes") Signed-off-by: Gautam Menghani <gautam@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20241109063301.105289-3-gautam@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
