While testing Hyper-V enabled Windows Server 2019 guests on Zen4 hardware I noticed that with vCPU count large enough (> 16) they sometimes froze at boot. With vCPU count of 64 they never booted successfully - suggesting some kind of a race condition. Since adding "vnmi=0" module parameter made these guests boot successfully it was clear that the problem is most likely (v)NMI-related. Running kvm-unit-tests quickly showed failing NMI-related tests cases, like "multiple nmi" and "pending nmi" from apic-split, x2apic and xapic tests and the NMI parts of eventinj test. The issue was that once one NMI was being serviced no other NMI was allowed to be set pending (NMI limit = 0), which was traced to svm_is_vnmi_pending() wrongly testing for the "NMI blocked" flag rather than for the "NMI pending" flag. Fix this by testing for the right flag in svm_is_vnmi_pending(). Once this is done, the NMI-related kvm-unit-tests pass successfully and the Windows guest no longer freezes at boot.
