commit 6231c9e1a9f35b535c66709aa8a6eda40dbc4132 upstream.
kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_vcpu_events() routine makes 'KVM_REQ_NMI' request for a vcpu even when its 'events->nmi.pending' is zero. Ex: qemu_thread_start kvm_vcpu_thread_fn qemu_wait_io_event qemu_wait_io_event_common process_queued_cpu_work do_kvm_cpu_synchronize_post_init/_reset kvm_arch_put_registers kvm_put_vcpu_events (cpu, level=[2|3])
This leads vCPU threads in QEMU to constantly acquire & release the global mutex lock, delaying the guest boot due to lock contention. Add check to make KVM_REQ_NMI request only if vcpu has NMI pending.
