Hello,

Using the SLB mutihit injection test module (which I did not write so I
do not want to post it here) to verify updates on my 5.3 frankernekernel
I found that the kernel crashes with Oops: kernel bad access.

I tested on latest upstream kernel build that I have at hand and the
result is te same (minus the message - nothing was logged and the kernel
simply rebooted).

That's disappointing.

It seems to work okay with qemu and mambo injection on upstream
(powernv_defconfig). I wonder why that nmi_enter is crashing.
Can you post the output of a successful test with the patch
reverted?
