I wonder, is the s390 guest entry/exit*preemptible*  ?

If a timer IRQ can preempt in the middle of the EQS, we wouldn't balance
things before a ctx-switch to the idle thread, which would then be able
to hit this.

I'll need to go audit the other architectures for similar.

They don't enable interrupts in the entry/exit path so they should be okay.

True.

So it sounds like for s390 adding an explicit preempt_{disable,enable}() is the
right thing to do. I'll add that and explanatory commentary.

That would not be trivial I guess. We do allow (and need) page faults on sie for guest
demand paging and

this piece of arch/s390/mm/fault.c

        case GMAP_FAULT:
                 if (faulthandler_disabled() || !mm)
                         goto out;
                 break;
         }

would no longer work since faulthandler_disabled checks for the preempt count.



Something like this

seems to work with preemption disabled around sie. Not sure yet if this is correct.


No it does not work. scheduling while preemption is disabled.
