Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/kvm/vmx: Fix VMX vs hrtimer_rearm_deferred()
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 17:56:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260423155936.957351833@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260423155611.216805954@infradead.org

Vishal reported that KVM unit test 'x2apic' started failing after commit
0e98eb14814e ("entry: Prepare for deferred hrtimer rearming").

The reason is that KVM/VMX is injecting interrupts while it has IRQs disabled,
for a context that will enable IRQs, this means that regs->flags.X86_EFLAGS_IF
== 0 and the irqentry_exit() will not DTRT.

Notably, irqentry_exit() must not call hrtimer_rearm_deferred() when the return
context does not have IF set, because this will cause problems vs NMIs.

Therefore, fix up the state after the injection.

Fixes: 0e98eb14814e ("entry: Prepare for deferred hrtimer rearming")
