There are circumstances whem kvm_xen_update_runstate_guest() should not sleep because it ends up being called from __schedule() when the vCPU is preempted: [ 222.830825] kvm_xen_update_runstate_guest+0x24/0x100 [ 222.830878] kvm_arch_vcpu_put+0x14c/0x200 [ 222.830920] kvm_sched_out+0x30/0x40 [ 222.830960] __schedule+0x55c/0x9f0 To handle this, make it use the same trick as __kvm_xen_has_interrupt(), of using the hva from the gfn_to_hva_cache directly. Then it can use pagefault_disable() around the accesses and just bail out if the page is absent (which is unlikely). I almost switched to using a gfn_to_pfn_cache here and bailing out if kvm_map_gfn() fails, like kvm_steal_time_set_preempted() does — but on closer inspection it looks like kvm_map_gfn() will *always* fail in atomic context for a page in IOMEM, which means it will silently fail to make the update every single time for such guests, AFAICT. So I didn't do it that way after all. And will probably fix that one too.

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.
