Hi Salvatore,

Thanks for the quick reply!

You're right, I am passing this flag. In libvirt I use:

<domain>
  <features>
    <hyperv>
      <tlbflush state='on'/>
    </hyperv>
  </features>
</domain>

I tried this fix first and it works. If I reboot into 5.10.0-22-amd64, and instead set <tlbflush state='off'/> above, the VM boots.

Thanks for the patch; it does fix the issue.  I set this back: <tlbflush state='on'/>, applied your patch to 5.10.0-22-amd64 and booted my newly patched kernel, and the VM boots.

Thanks for your help.  This is my first time using the BTS so I hope I've done everything correctly. If there's anything else I should do, or if you want me to test something, let me know.
