KVM: x86: get smi pending status correctly
The injection process of smi has two steps: Qemu KVM Step1: cpu->interrupt_request &= \ ~CPU_INTERRUPT_SMI; kvm_vcpu_ioctl(cpu, KVM_SMI) call kvm_vcpu_ioctl_smi() and kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_SMI, vcpu); Step2: kvm_vcpu_ioctl(cpu, KVM_RUN, 0) call process_smi() if kvm_check_request(KVM_REQ_SMI, vcpu) is true, mark vcpu->arch.smi_pending = true; The vcpu->arch.smi_pending will be set true in step2, unfortunately if vcpu paused between step1 and step2, the kvm_run->immediate_exit will be set and vcpu has to exit to Qemu immediately during step2 before mark vcpu->arch.smi_pending true. During VM migration, Qemu will get the smi pending status from KVM using KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS ioctl at the downtime, then the smi pending status will be lost.
