[PATCH v2 6.1.y 3/3] KVM: nVMX: Fold requested virtual interrupt check into has_nested_events()
From: Nicholas Dudar
Date: Fri Jun 19 2026 - 16:35:04 EST
From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 321ef62b0c5f6f57bb8500a2ca5986052675abbf upstream.
Check for a Requested Virtual Interrupt, i.e. a virtual interrupt that is
pending delivery, in vmx_has_nested_events() and drop the one-off
kvm_x86_ops.guest_apic_has_interrupt() hook.
In addition to dropping a superfluous hook, this fixes a bug where KVM
would incorrectly treat virtual interrupts _for L2_ as always enabled due
to kvm_arch_interrupt_allowed(), by way of vmx_interrupt_blocked(),
treating IRQs as enabled if L2 is active and vmcs12 is configured to exit
on IRQs, i.e. KVM would treat a virtual interrupt for L2 as a valid wake
event based on L1's IRQ blocking status.

[ Nicholas Dudar: backport to 6.1.y. 6.1.y predates the vmx main.c /
x86_ops.h split, so drop .guest_apic_has_interrupt from vmx_x86_ops in
vmx.c rather than vt_x86_ops in main.c. The function is static in vmx.c, so
upstream's x86_ops.h prototype removal does not apply. 6.1.y keeps the
current hwapic_isr_update signature. ]
