It was reported that with some special Multi Processor Group configuration, e.g: bcdedit.exe /set groupsize 1 bcdedit.exe /set maxgroup on bcdedit.exe /set groupaware on for a 16-vCPU guest WS2012 shows BSOD on boot when PV TLB flush mechanism is in use. Tracing kvm_hv_flush_tlb immediately reveals the issue: kvm_hv_flush_tlb: processor_mask 0x0 address_space 0x0 flags 0x2 The only flag set in this request is HV_FLUSH_ALL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_SPACES, however, processor_mask is 0x0 and no HV_FLUSH_ALL_PROCESSORS is specified. We don't flush anything and apparently it's not what Windows expects. TLFS doesn't say anything about such requests and newer Windows versions seem to be unaffected. This all feels like a WS2012 bug, which is, however, easy to workaround in KVM: let's flush everything when we see an empty flush request, over-flushing doesn't hurt.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
