Subject: KVM: s390: fix external call injection without sigp interpretation
From: David Hildenbrand <[email protected]>
commit b938eacea0b6881f2116a061e6da3ec840e75137 upstream.
Commit ea5f49692575 ("KVM: s390: only one external call may be pending
at a time") introduced a bug on machines that don't have SIGP
interpretation facility installed.
The injection of an external call will now always fail with -EBUSY
(if none is already pending).
This leads to the following symptoms:
- An external call will be injected but with the wrong "src cpu id",
as this id will not be remembered.
- The target vcpu will not be woken up, therefore the guest will hang if
it cannot deal with unexpected failures of the SIGP EXTERNAL CALL
instruction.
- If an external call is already pending, -EBUSY will not be reported.
