After commit 77b0f5d (KVM: nVMX: Ack and write vector info to intr_info
if L1 asks us to), "Acknowledge interrupt on exit" behavior can be
emulated. To do so, KVM will ask the APIC for the interrupt vector if
during a nested vmexit if VM_EXIT_ACK_INTR_ON_EXIT is set. With APICv,
kvm_get_apic_interrupt would return -1 and give the following WARNING:

If enabling APIC-v, all interrupts to L1 are delivered through APIC-v.
But when L2 is running, external interrupt will casue L1 vmexit with
reason external interrupt. Then L1 will pick up the interrupt through
vmcs12. when L1 ack the interrupt, since the APIC-v is enabled when
L1 is running, so APIC-v hardware still will do vEOI updating. The problem
is that the interrupt is delivered not through APIC-v hardware, this means
SVI/RVI/vPPR are not setting, but hardware required them when doing vEOI
updating. The solution is that, when L1 tried to pick up the interrupt
from vmcs12, then hypervisor will help to update the SVI/RVI/vPPR to make
sure the following vEOI updating and vPPR updating corrently.
Also, since interrupt is delivered through vmcs12, so APIC-v hardware will
not cleare vIRR and hypervisor need to clear it before L1 running.

Thanks, this looks good. Felipe, can you test this patch together with
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1762356/raw please?
Paolo
I checked that the bug was still there using the latest version of
linus' kernel (8e099d1) and it is, then I applied the patches you
indicated and the problem went away. So those 2 patches fix the problem
for me.
Best,
