Subject: [PATCH 1/5] KVM: nVMX: Explicitly update vPPR on successful nested VM-Enter
Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2024 12:14:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241101191447.1807602-2-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241101191447.1807602-1-seanjc@google.com>
Always request pending event evaluation after successful nested VM-Enter
if L1 has a pending IRQ, as KVM will effectively do so anyways when APICv
is enabled, by way of vmx_has_apicv_interrupt(). This will allow dropping
the aforementioned APICv check, and will also allow handling nested Posted
Interrupt processing entirely within vmx_check_nested_events(), which is
necessary to honor priority between concurrent events.
Note, checking for pending IRQs has a subtle side effect, as it results in
a PPR update for L1's vAPIC (PPR virtualization does happen at VM-Enter,
but for nested VM-Enter that affects L2's vAPIC, not L1's vAPIC). However,
KVM updates PPR _constantly_, even when PPR technically shouldn't be
refreshed, e.g. kvm_vcpu_has_events() re-evaluates PPR if IRQs are
unblocked, by way of the same kvm_apic_has_interrupt() check. Ditto for
nested VM-Enter itself, when nested posted interrupts are enabled. Thus,
trying to avoid a PPR update on VM-Enter just to be pedantically accurate
is ridiculous, given the behavior elsewhere in KVM.
