    KVM: VMX: Dont' send posted IRQ if vCPU == this vCPU and vCPU is IN_GUEST_MODE · 9b44423b
    Wanpeng Li authored
    When delivering a virtual interrupt, don't actually send a posted interrupt
    if the target vCPU is also the currently running vCPU and is IN_GUEST_MODE,
    in which case the interrupt is being sent from a VM-Exit fastpath and the
    core run loop in vcpu_enter_guest() will manually move the interrupt from
    the PIR to vmcs.GUEST_RVI.  IRQs are disabled while IN_GUEST_MODE, thus
    there's no possibility of the virtual interrupt being sent from anything
    other than KVM, i.e. KVM won't suppress a wake event from an IRQ handler
    (see commit fdba608f, "KVM: VMX: Wake vCPU when delivering posted IRQ
    even if vCPU == this vCPU").
    
    Eliding the posted interrupt restores the performance provided by the
    combination of commits 379a3c8e ("KVM: VMX: Optimize posted-interrupt
    delivery for timer fastpath") and 26efe2fd ("KVM: VMX: Handle
    preemption timer fastpath").
    
    Thanks Sean for better comments.
