    KVM: s390: forward hrtimer if guest ckc not pending yet · 66c3bfca

    Patch 0759d068 ("KVM: s390: cleanup handle_wait by reusing
    kvm_vcpu_block") changed the way pending guest clock comparator
    interrupts are detected. It was assumed that as soon as the hrtimer
    wakes up, the condition for the guest ckc is satisfied.
    
    This is however only true as long as adjclock() doesn't speed
    up the monotonic clock. Reason is that the hrtimer is based on
    CLOCK_MONOTONIC, the guest clock comparator detection is based
    on the raw TOD clock. If CLOCK_MONOTONIC runs faster than the
    TOD clock, the hrtimer wakes the target VCPU up too early and
    the target VCPU will not detect any pending interrupts, therefore
    going back to sleep. It will never be woken up again because the
    hrtimer has finished. The VCPU is stuck.
    
    As a quick fix, we have to forward the hrtimer until the guest
    clock comparator is really due, to guarantee properly timed wake
    ups.
    
    As the hrtimer callback might be triggered on another cpu, we
    have to make sure that the timer is really stopped and not currently
    executing the callback on another cpu. This can happen if the vcpu
    thread is scheduled onto another physical cpu, but the timer base
    is not migrated. So lets use hrtimer_cancel instead of try_to_cancel.
    
    A proper fix might be to introduce a RAW based hrtimer.
