"relevant" refers to the ISCs handled by the GAL mechanism, i.e those
registered in the kvm->arch.gisa_int.alert.mask.

I can break at out as I had before... ;)

You know I will increase it to 1 ms together with the change that I
proposed. (gisa_get_ipm_or_restore_iam() in kvm_s390_handle_wait()).

There will be no vcpus available anymore at this time, whence
none will be kicked by the timer function. Thus canceling the
timer will be sufficient after the loop.

I have addressed the message as well, but will write it into
the KVM trace.

  void kvm_s390_gisa_destroy(struct kvm *kvm)
  {
-       kvm->arch.gisa_int.origin = NULL;
+       struct kvm_s390_gisa_interrupt *gi = &kvm->arch.gisa_int;
+
+       if (!gi->origin)
+               return;
+       if (gi->alert.mask)
+               KVM_EVENT(3, "vm 0x%pK has unexpected iam 0x%02x",
+                         kvm, gi->alert.mask);
+       while (gisa_in_alert_list(gi->origin))
+               cpu_relax();
+       hrtimer_cancel(&gi->timer);
+       gi->origin = NULL;
  }
