The patch below does not apply to the 5.10-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.
Blast from the past, but we've recently been bitten by this bug when running a v5.10 kernel. I'm going to back-port it to v5.10 and v5.15, resolve the conflicts and post it.
Marc, please will you take a look and see if you're happy with the backport? The main change is going back to the old style of vCPU flag manipulation.
Thanks for having a stab at this.
I eyeballed the two patches, and couldn't see anything untoward. However, I haven't tested them, as life is too short to run prehistoric kernels ;-).
