[PATCH 1/2] KVM: VMX: Disable posted interrupts for odd IRQs

From: Alexander Graf
Date: Tue Sep 03 2019 - 10:30:24 EST


We can easily route hardware interrupts directly into VM context when
they target the "Fixed" or "LowPriority" delivery modes.

However, on modes such as "SMI" or "Init", we need to go via KVM code
to actually put the vCPU into a different mode of operation, so we can
not post the interrupt

Add code in the VMX PI logic to explicitly refuse to establish posted
mappings for advanced IRQ deliver modes.

This fixes a bug I have with code which configures real hardware to
inject virtual SMIs into my guest.
