The MSR_RI flag is used to indicate whether the kernel can take another exception or not. A cleared MSR_RI flag indicates that the kernel cannot. Unfortunately when a machine is under SLB pressure an SLB miss can occur in restore_math() which (with MSR_RI cleared) leads to an unrecoverable exception.

See comment in entry_64.S: /* * For performance reasons we clear RI the same time that we * clear EE. We only need to clear RI just before we restore r13 * below, but batching it with EE saves us one expensive mtmsrd call. * We have to be careful to restore RI if we branch anywhere from * here (eg syscall_exit_work). */ At the point of calling restore_math() r13 has not been restored, as such, the quick fix of turning MSR_RI back on for the call to restore_math() will eliminate the occurrence of an unrecoverable exception. We'd like to do a better fix in future.
