If KVM wasn't used at all before we crash the cleanup procedure fails with BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffffffffc8 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 23215067 P4D 23215067 PUD 23217067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#8] SMP PTI CPU: 0 PID: 3542 Comm: bash Kdump: loaded Tainted: G D 5.6.0-rc2+ #823 RIP: 0010:crash_vmclear_local_loaded_vmcss.cold+0x19/0x51 [kvm_intel] The root cause is that loaded_vmcss_on_cpu list is not yet initialized, we initialize it in hardware_enable() but this only happens when we start a VM. Previously, we used to have a bitmap with enabled CPUs and that was preventing [masking] the issue. Initialized loaded_vmcss_on_cpu list earlier, right before we assign crash_vmclear_loaded_vmcss pointer. blocked_vcpu_on_cpu list and blocked_vcpu_on_cpu_lock are moved altogether for consistency.

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.
