[PATCH 2/6] kvm: nVMX: move nested events check to kvm_vcpu_running

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Mon Dec 19 2016 - 11:20:27 EST


vcpu_run calls kvm_vcpu_running, not kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable,
and the former does not call check_nested_events.

Once KVM_REQ_EVENT is removed from the APICv interrupt injection
path, however, this would leave no place to trigger a vmexit
from L2 to L1, causing a missed interrupt delivery while in guest
mode. This is caught by the "ack interrupt on exit" test in
vmx.flat.

[This does not change the calls to check_nested_events in
inject_pending_event. That is material for a separate cleanup.]
