Subject: [PATCH v4 09/19] KVM: selftests: Verify IRQs wake up halted vCPUs in IRQ test
Date: Sat, 30 May 2026 00:21:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260530002134.558837-10-jrhilke@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260530002134.558837-1-jrhilke@google.com>

From: David Matlack <dmatlack@google.com>

Add the '-b' flag to tools/testing/selftests/kvm/irq_test.c to verify
that interrupts successfully wake up vCPUs that are in a halted state.

By default, the guest code spins using cpu_relax() while waiting for
interrupts. With the '-b' flag, the guest executes the HLT instruction
instead. At the end of the test, the host explicitly routes and triggers
a final interrupt for each vCPU. If the interrupt fails to wake the
halted vCPU, the guest will never exit its loop, and the host's call to
pthread_join() will hang, causing the test to time out and fail.
