KVM: nVMX: Fix loss of pending IRQ/NMI before entering L2
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Consider the case L1 had a IRQ/NMI event until it executed
VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME which wasn't delivered because it was disallowed
(e.g. interrupts disabled). When L1 executes VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME,
L0 needs to evaluate if this pending event should cause an exit from
L2 to L1 or delivered directly to L2 (e.g. In case L1 don't intercept
EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT).

Usually this would be handled by L0 requesting a IRQ/NMI window
by setting VMCS accordingly. However, this setting was done on
VMCS01 and now VMCS02 is active instead. Thus, when L1 executes
VMLAUNCH/VMRESUME we force L0 to perform pending event evaluation by
requesting a KVM_REQ_EVENT.

Note that above scenario exists when L1 KVM is about to enter L2 but
requests an "immediate-exit". As in this case, L1 will
disable-interrupts and then send a self-IPI before entering L2.
