A livepatch transition may stall indefinitely when a kvm vCPU is heavily loaded. To the host, the vCPU task is a user thread which is spending a very long time in the ioctl(KVM_RUN) syscall. During livepatch transition, set_notify_signal() will be called on such tasks to interrupt the syscall so that the task can be transitioned. This interrupts guest execution, but when xfer_to_guest_mode_work() sees that TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL is set but not TIF_SIGPENDING it concludes that an exit to user mode is unnecessary, and guest execution is resumed without transitioning the task for the livepatch. This handling of TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL is incorrect, as set_notify_signal() is expected to break tasks out of interruptible kernel loops and cause them to return to userspace. Change xfer_to_guest_mode_work() to handle TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL the same as TIF_SIGPENDING, signaling to the vCPU run loop that an exit to userpsace is needed. Any pending task_work will be run when get_signal() is called from exit_to_user_mode_loop(), so there is no longer any need to run task work from xfer_to_guest_mode_work(). Suggested-by: "Eric W.
