    KVM: nVMX: Do not load EOI-exitmap while running L2 · e40ff1d6
    Liran Alon authored
    When L1 IOAPIC redirection-table is written, a request of
    KVM_REQ_SCAN_IOAPIC is set on all vCPUs. This is done such that
    all vCPUs will now recalc their IOAPIC handled vectors and load
    it to their EOI-exitmap.
    
    However, it could be that one of the vCPUs is currently running
    L2. In this case, load_eoi_exitmap() will be called which would
    write to vmcs02->eoi_exit_bitmap, which is wrong because
    vmcs02->eoi_exit_bitmap should always be equal to
    vmcs12->eoi_exit_bitmap. Furthermore, at this point
    KVM_REQ_SCAN_IOAPIC was already consumed and therefore we will
    never update vmcs01->eoi_exit_bitmap. This could lead to remote_irr
    of some IOAPIC level-triggered entry to remain set forever.
    
    Fix this issue by delaying the load of EOI-exitmap to when vCPU
    is running L1.
    
    One may wonder why not just delay entire KVM_REQ_SCAN_IOAPIC
    processing to when vCPU is running L1. This is done in order to handle
    correctly the case where LAPIC & IO-APIC of L1 is pass-throughed into
    L2. In this case, vmcs12->virtual_interrupt_delivery should be 0. In
    current nVMX implementation, that results in
    vmcs02->virtual_interrupt_delivery to also be 0. Thus,
    vmcs02->eoi_exit_bitmap is not used. Therefore, every L2 EOI cause
    a #VMExit into L0 (either on MSR_WRITE to x2APIC MSR or
    APIC_ACCESS/APIC_WRITE/EPT_MISCONFIG to APIC MMIO page).
    In order for such L2 EOI to be broadcasted, if needed, from LAPIC
    to IO-APIC, vcpu->arch.ioapic_handled_vectors must be updated
    while L2 is running. Therefore, patch makes sure to delay only the
    loading of EOI-exitmap but not the update of
    vcpu->arch.ioapic_handled_vectors.
